1rooster Posted September 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2014 Nice sunny day so the wife and I took a nice 3 hour ride in the convertible.We was about half a mile from home when it happened....Going about 20 mph when a GIANT snake crawled across the hood right in front of us..Holy cow..SCARED the crap out of us...hit the brakes and it slid ac ross the hood and windshield and fell off the drivers side fender.I have no idea where it came from as there was nothing for it too fall off.Actually it was about one and a half feet long but when we saw it UP close it was at least 30 feet long.That was an hour ago and I am still shaking.

zagger Posted September 14, 2014 Share #7 Posted September 14, 2014 Poor snake! Probably just found a cozy spot down inside the engine compartment until you decided to fire up the car and drive it away. Ya know, they don't have any arms or legs so when they are thrown from a moving car, they might land in an awkward position and really hurt themselves! zag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted September 14, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2014 The car is a mid engine Porsche and we had been driving 3 hours already when the snake crossed the hood. Probably a baby Cobra from that Shelby Mustang that went flying by ya when you were mistreating that Porsche by lugging it down to 20 MPH:cool10::cool10: Best way to fend off those Cobra's is keep that Porsche revved up and singin!! you can always tell ol Puc is envious when he starts picking on his buddies with NICE cars:rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted September 14, 2014 Share #12 Posted September 14, 2014 When I was in USAF we had an airplane get a hole in a wing from a rabbit. Now you may ask how does a rabbit jump that high. Best w could figure was an eagle or something had his dinner in his claws, and the airplane scared him and he dropped it. So I'm thinking some bird had his meal and your radio scared him and he dropped his vittles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR,,,, it was a very well trained snake who had learned to coil himself up and SPRING up in the air to catch those falling rabbits before they go splat and Roosters car got in the way!!
