My deepest sympathies, seriously lol. I can only imagine what kind of reaction I'd have if I went to indicate and it was sat on the back of the indicator stalk or something. 

I think I'd just drive the car into a wall

 

 

No PLEASE!!!

 

I'm going to have nightmares about this now.

 

Dreading tomorrow morning.

    Find a badger and leave it in the car overnight..they eat slugs

  • Sit in the car and start having one of your rants. The poor bloody thing will soon scarper or lose the will to live and kill itself.

Just wondering if letting the heater blow on max heat would kill the thing IF it's somewhere in the vent ducting.

There was evidence of mucus trail adjacent to the n/s part of the dashboard and across the air vent this morning.  :sick:  

Air con on max might do better if the beer and salt doesn't fix it as it will either freeze it or dry it out (or perhaps both)........and a dry dead slug might be better than a rotting wet one!

Hope you've informed your Insurance company,     :notme:

That's another disgusting point.

If I manage to kill this 'thing', but it manages to slither its way back from whence it came,possibly the air vent ducting, is it going to stink as it rots?  :o  :sick:

 

Really feeling totally stuffed on this one.

Like a horror movie script this.

Fill your car with water, then the slug will float to the top and you can get it out.

Just hope salt on the dashboard isn't going to damage or stain it.

 

Why am I about the only person bar one or two on the planet that this has happened to?

Am I jinxed?

 

If there's a bag of **** waiting to fall on someone..........

You could go out at 2 in the morning with a torch and see if you can see it.

Toads, black ground beetles, beer trap or slug pellets. The latter two are slug attractants so it should come out to boogie.

Of course, it could have been pregnant and used your motor as a maternity hospital. Maybe many there behind the dash now.

I know a bloke up in northern Sweden that takes cares of issues like that. I had an insect problem in an old US imported Camaro. He cools down the car to minus 40-50 degrees celsius for 48 hours. Kills everything unwanted.

Steam clean the interior and the heat may kill him!

@Aspman

That's a tiger not a mountain lion and not funny.

Turn the heat up to Max and go for a long coffee... it'll dehydrate, die and shrivel up.

Beer in a pot is a regular slug catcher,

but you've got to hope the slug doesn't get the fighting in him when he's @issed......

Been out for a 40 mile drive with the air con on arctic setting.

Hopefully I'll have frozen the t*** to death.  :devil:

 

Sincerely hope it IS a him , and not a up the duff wummun.

They lay up to 30 eggs at a time apparently!  :wall:

 

Going out on 'slug watch' at 12:30 am.  :sick:

What a way to spend a night ey? :notme:

It was horrible driving home from my walk in the hills tonight.

I kept feeling and imagining  that summat slimey was crawling up my leg. 

 

Is this the most disgustourous thread EVER?

Edited by Mr Ree

Its only a slug mate. Its abit wet n sticky, but its not going to start chewing your leg off while you drive.

Or is it?

Its not very old is it, your car? I bet youd get a good part ex price ;)

Only a slug it may be, but it ain't slithering around in your car.

 

I can stomach most creepy crawlies. spiders no problem, beetles, frogs, toads worms etc etc,  but SLUGS!!!!

AGHHHH!!!!

 

Lost count of the number I saw whilst out walking tonight btw.

They seem to be rampant this year.

+1 grow a pair and stop being such a ****ing drama queen.

@Assman

Watch who you're calling a numpty, you are the one referring to the tiger in the photo as a mountain lion.

Think of it as semi prepared escargot.

I've got some recipes for when you catch them.

Aren't slugs hermaphrodite?

Yup seems they are, here's Wiki: Once a slug has located a mate, they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged ..

Can you say this on in front of the family?
