When they aren't in your vehicle they tend to keep to themselves and eat all the far more irritating and disgusting bugs so I agree.

There's a spider in my driver's wing mirror that I let live. If I killed it another one would move in anyway.

One of my coworkers had this happen. She got in through the passenger side for like two weeks before she got someone in the office to help her get rid of it.

Is that a challenge?
Spiders are cool and chill and you should leave them alone to catch flys and other gross bugs. I had one that lived in my MX5 side mirror for like 3 weeks, it would sense the door being opened and closed and scuttle up behind the glass until I stopped again. :3:

Spiders are fine except when they make stupid little webs in the window and corners of the room that I have to clean up. Outside I leave them alone unless it's a black widow, I hate them and their webs and they get nuked.

Trying to clean around the car in the garage, and finally take bottles to recycle.

Black widow crawled onto my hand out of a bag, and I almost knocked the car off jack stands.

I was working in my folks shed when I was probably 18 or so, had been in and out of it all day. Was starting to get dark and I walked back into the shed to start putting stuff away, and a loving black widow had made a giant web across the doorway in the couple hours since I had last been in it, and I walked right into it and got a black widow close up as it was on the right lens of my glasses. I'm pretty sure that's the closest I've ever been in my life to a heart attack.

Gonna have to try this, good idea. A lot safer and won't leave soot marks as well.

At my house I actually have more of a problem with brown widows, although I get blacks as well.

People who harm jumping spiders are basically the biggest assholes. They're tiny, harmless, and just genuinely curious little spiders. I love the little guys, I go out of my way to make sure they stay safe if I find them near me :3:

I don't mind spiders.

My dad has a beater Subaru Outback which he leaves the windows down on basically all the time. One day he dropped his phone or something one day and was looking on the floorboard and found a several foot long snake skin under his seat. Yeah, gently caress that. If a snake slithered out from underneath my seat while driving I would be in a ditch

It's definitely relevant:
- it's a spider
- it's also a dumpster fire on wheels
- bad(ge) engineering

There's alot of irony to the fact that the company that used to hold a considerable portion of roadster market now has to resort to badge engineering the Miata.

It's the definition, really. Just because most Plymouth Acclaims had different engines than the Dodge Spirit doesn't mean that it wasn't a badge engineered car.

I'm not sure you understand what Badge engineering is...

Wikipedia posted:

The term originated with the practice of replacing an automobile's emblems to create an ostensibly new model. Differences may be confined to simply badges and emblems, or may encompass minor styling differences, as with cosmetic differences to headlights, tail lights, and front and rear fascias. More extreme examples involve differing engines and drivetrains.
