Best thread I have read in years!

Last year a mechanic and I were testing out a supercharged Toyota Celsior in Japan before putting it on a ship to send to a friend in the UK. It had been sitting in a grassy lot in Hokkaido for some time. There was a painted fingernail on the front seat. Anyway the mechanic opens the passenger door to get out and a poisonous centipede about 7" long starts poking out of a hole in the body by the front hinge.

He screams and I dive for it, but it backed inside before I could whack it. So we shut the door and sent it to the UK as is! Caveat Emptor!!!
