Default Strangest Thing You've Ever Have Happen?

What is the strangest thing you have ever had to happen to a car? I saw a report once that said a lady heard a hissing sound from her car. She thought she had a radiator leak so she drove to the garage. When the garage started examining the engine they found an anaconda wrapped around it. It seemed it had been a cold night and the snake had curled around the engine because it was warm when she had come in from work the night before. Talk about strange!!

I've heard a few stories like that. Not sure what the strangest thing happen to me. You drive in Florida long enough and you get used to some strange things.

I remember I managed to once actually get a vehicle stuck in a small alley and it rubbed the paint off the truck I was driving at the time. I did not hit the pole, I just rubbed up too close to it and it dented the side.

Wow, talk about a close shave! You had to be sweating inside that truck. I also heard of a guy who bought a car and when he brought it home he opened the trunk to check it out and found a plastic leg.!

If there was an anaconda inside of my car I would most likely freak out and I am pretty sure that I would never drive it again. How would one even get an anaconda out? Arn't those things massive?

The strangest thing I have ever had happen was that my car was for lack of a better word, possessed for over a month. I pulled into my house turned off the car and pulled the keys out of the ignition. Only problem was- my car was STILL RUNNING! It wouldn't turn off for anything. My dad finally had to come out and disconnect the battery. This happened about 5 other times over the course of a month and then as mysteriously as it started it quit.

Wow that definitely will scare the h*ll out of anyone! Downright weird.

The only weird thing that ever happened to my truck is that I could have sworn I put in some gas that morning and by afternoon it was running low. When I got home, I discovered why --- the wife came to the office and "borrowed" the truck for some errands she had to run.

Yeah the service techs I called at 4 or 5 different garages thought I was nuts too! It was odd as heck. I still haven't figure it out!

Hahahahaha. This sounds so familiar. Shades of what my brothers used to do when they used to sneak out at night and use our mother's car. Suddenly there is no more gas!
