opelsuby Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm sure some of you out there have had some weird experiences with your rig. I'll share one i had. My Soob has been sitting in the driveway as it needs a clutch and some other stuff. hadn't worked on it for a few months. I decided to hit it with the sander as I'm doing some body work. The second I hit the spot I was going to work on, the motherload of Yellowjackets came out of the gap between the fron and rear doors. I got tagged by one right below the eye. hurt like a mother...... After spraying the gap with wasp killer, I opened the door to find the little kamikazees had built a nest there!!!

Turbone Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Not uncommon at all. I let my old 84 Turbo Coupe sit most of the Summer once. Got the tranny fixed and in the process found several nest in various places. Including the inside of both rear view mirrors. But I missed one. It was in between the door jamb and front fender. I opened the door and sat down to get into the glove box. I got hit 3 times before I could run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Heh, when I bought my 1980 brat, I had to use two full cans of Raid to kill all of the nests. I believe I counted 6 in the bed area and canopy, 2 gargantuan ones inside the front fenders, 3 in the tailgate (the pop panel had been removed), 1 in the cab, and one inside the bed (a pop panel had been reinstalled INcorrectly and allowed a gap that was just big enough) And I didn't get stung once!

zyewdall Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yeah... I've found them inside the door gaps too -- I sprayed it with carb cleaner then hit it with a torch. Making sure not the set the car on fire, but it was pretty satisfying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 bees tend to nest in subarus. maybe they are attracted to the shape? its like those beetles in australia BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMPING BROWN BEER BOTTLES INSTEAD OF FEMALE BEETLES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I got a parts truck once that I found a -luckily- dead nest in. It was behind the glovebox, and couldn't even be seen much less sprayed with the glovebox liner in place. It was only about the size of a football.
