Mazda Recalls 50,000+ Cars Due To Spider Problem


NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Mazda is recalling about 52,000 Mazda6 sedans in the U.S., because yellow sac spiders like to build their nests in part of the fuel system..."A certain type of spider may weave a web in the evaporative canister vent line and this may cause a restriction of the line," Mazda said in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

And there goes any chance Mazda ever had of getting me in one of their vehicles.  I can't imagine a more frightening environment than being trapped in my car in rush hour, bumper-bumper traffic, with thousands of spiders spilling out the air conditioning vents.  I wouldn't even have to wait for one to crawl on me, I'd abandon that car on spot, probably just walk the side of the highway until I could get a ride. Everyone knows Spiders are the hungriest when they first hatch, no frigen way am I sticking around as they all come pouring out for the first time, hungry for their first taste of human blood.

Yea, that's right, I'd rather abandon my vehicle and become a hitch hiker than be driving in a car with a spider infestation that may or may not feed on human blood.  

In fact I'll go on record as saying I'd rather take my chances with one of those Toyota's with the accelerator problem than a car with arachnids breeding in my heating vent.  A head on collision because I can't brake seems like a dream compared to having your entire body enveloped by 8 legged insects. Just a disgusting, disgusting thought.
