cough cough.... hairball

ok now this is kinda crazy, i was bored today so i decided to go take some stuff off my car and clean it. so i took the panel thing above the front of the radiator off, looked at the front of the radiator...... and this is the part that boggles my mind, most of the radiator was covered with hair! what the hell is that all about? where the hell do you pick up hair on the road? anyone else ever had a radiator fulla hair? check this ****.

Uhmm...

Maybe something crawled in there and died and you didn't lose the bones/carcas until a ton of hair had fallen off. Like in the grill or something.

My bet is that the neighbors are missing their cat.

But bet thatll be the last time that cat sprays your tires.

Yeah, that looks like long-dead roadkill... nothing remains but the hair which doesn't really decompose. (the hair on my head is up to 5 years old and it's not rotting away yet LOL )

Roadkill story... Picture this. Big, ugly '72 T-bird with cut front springs and a low-hanging exhaust. Rumble rumble goes the low machine. Look, up a head, a dead raccoon! Too much traffic, can't change lanes. Man, that's a BIG sucker.

>WHUMP< *draaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggg...*

Roadkill baking on hot exhaust pipes is a QUITE awful smell.

I think it's just road dust glued together into a hair-like substance with the condensation behind your a/c condenser. Look at the condenser on the back of your fridge and you'll see something similar.
