Weirdest thing you found in the aux coolers

Vigilante375 · 10-08-2018, 08:46 PM

So cleaning out the car today and looking inside the aux radiator and aux intercooler I was expecting the usual, insects.

Today, though, I found a small bird. A sparrow, I believe. The car either gobbled him up last night or today. Little fella was dead so the cats had a light snack.

These cars are definitely bird killers. Murdered this one yesterday. May it Rest In Peace.

Several million bugs...Was drying off my car with the master blaster and decided to blow out the front end...Wow that made a mess. Re-dirtied the car but now I know to blow out the front end before washing...

Do yall just blow these spaces out with an air blower of some sort? I can't fit my hand in there to get stuff out. I have managed to use magnets to get out the various screws and nails that I find in there, but I am having a hell of a time getting anything else out. Honestly, this car picks up debris in these spaces as if it were a pavement sweeper.

I attached a small tube( a little wider than a straw) to vacuum...dysons have some good attachments too. Just vac it out...so many little rocks and pebbles...no birds yet though...GREAT POST. Bet we'll hear some more crazy stuff...

Wow, i need to do this. I havnt even thought of cleaning this out yet.

DangerZL1 · 10-09-2018, 10:33 AM

I remember a post from a while back about a hole in a cooler in a member's car from debris. I'm surprised more people haven't had damage or at least a lot of bent fins.

This, "made me look".

I'm surprised this is the first thread bringing this up. I would think there should be a thread dedicated to all the animals sacrificed to the Camaro gods. You've heard of Bear Grylls? My friends have jokingly nicknamed me "Bird Grills" evidence below.

It's given me an idea for a cartoon dog character who drives a modified Camaro with a built in BBQ. He is best friends with Ted Nugent and spends his days hunting and his nights battling social justice warriors and "evil" electric cars.

Geez, quite a few of you guys are bird killers. I haven't found anything more than insects and leaves in the coolers. Majority of the time I just blast things out with the water hose and it cleans it all out.

Seems like GrabtheWheel is the king of the hill for bird hunting right now.

What?! None of you have dug dead Mustangs out of there?

That would imply that a Mustang has ever been in front of a Camaro. They're only visible in the rear view mirror.

Mine ate a blue GT 350 at Sebring this past weekend and lots of rubber chips. The vacume is a great idea! Thanks
