And I thought I had problems with black widows. At least they usually stay
under the car.
My tool kit now always includes a can of 10W40 and a lighter. This

widow spiders that seem to love the undersides of my project cars.
My pyromaniacal side sometimes gets the better of me. And kids.
don't do this at home.
