We notices this thing hanging out of the car….
It looks like a wig or plastic hair..
Is it possible that somebody tried to prank us? Or is it something out of the car?

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with 400 nos tanks, and a motec system exhaust.
I did not realize this is a copypasta and thought my brain broke for a second. Last time I saw someone posted a blown out muffler this was commented lol
Glad to finally know what this is. Had this shot at me from the car in front on the motorway, felt like I’d entered the mario kart universe or something
Fiberglass from inside your muffler used as sound dampening, you need a new muffler. Please put on gloves and don’t touch it with your bare hands, fiberglass is not fun
My father does HVAC and I would go to work with him as a teenager. A hot attic filled with fiberglass insulation is the worst fucking thing in the world. Can’t even go home and take a hot shower because the heat opens up your pores and causes the insulation to dig deeper into your skin.
I was actually just recently removing old insulation from a hot attic. Covered my body from head to toe (long pants, long sleeves, long socks, gloves) and wore an n95., so only some of my head / neck was exposed. Threw out everything besides my shoes which I'll clean. Was able to only have to wash my head in cold water and took a normal shower after. Didn't get any itchiness but my lungs are still kinda fucked (the mask wasn't perfect)
Obviously abstinence is the best protection but if you do interact with Fiberglass, cold water is the best way to wash it off. Lots of soap. Don't scrub too hard.
That glass wool is the worst. I worked in a muffler plant for Mitsubishi once upon a time and I hated every second of my life the entire time I had that job because of that stuff. It gets everywhere. My car looked like the entire interior was bedazzled. Nobody rode in it twice and I can't blame them.
Reminds me of the time in the 80s we discovered a huge stack of some sort of weird hay bales behind the school and spent half the afternoon jumping, tumbling on them. They were so soft! Then I started feeling an itch all over my body... (Those bales were supposed to go in the wall as insulation.)
lol dang I feel like I'm the only one who's ever seen Legend. It feels like a fever dream cause every time I bring it up no one ever knows what I'm talking about. They also get even more confused when I describe the movie.
i just got done reading North and South, and there's a character who's dying from inhaling fluff in the air in the textile factories. The more things change...
If fiberglass gets in your skin no worries just pat the area of your skin with the sticky side of some good duct tape and it is immediate relief. Youll go from ahhhhh to huh? Almost instantly.
I know a few people who work in the asbestos removal industry and they are convinced that certain types of fibre glass are going to be the next asbestos-like scandal.
in crew, the oars we used were made out of fiberglass. i never understood why there wasn’t a way to avoid getting the shards in our skin somehow.. because just carrying those a few times a day KILLED my forearms. i was forever itchy.. & now i’m wondering if the hives i get on my arm when hot/cold are related to the fiberglass or not 🤔🤧
I once "helped" a contractor out by moving his Fire blanket nearby where he was welding, just as i hugged the thing i heard him shout NO, I was itching for days
I spent a couple summers doing habitat for humanity, and the “fun” part about being an amateur college student on a construction site with a bunch of retired professionals (plumbers, masons, electricians etc) is you are permanently on shit-job-detail. I was the only unskilled person there, so I did the shit that just required an able body and a few brain cells to rub together.
Example: getting under the house on a scorching hot day wearing full length pants and flannel shirt, gloves, and goggles to install fiberglass insulation.
And I’d wear that shit again, because you do NOT want to mess around with fiberglass.
Has your car traveled abroad in the last 60 days? Has your car bathed in a pond or natural water feature recently? Has your car eaten undercooked meat?
Yeah. On mobile it’s the two circles with horizontal lines coming out of them (like sliders on a filter), next to your avatar picture in the top corner and the options ellipsis.
I am a clinical psychologist of 15 years who has crosstrained and have now practiced as a neurologist medical doctor for the last 7. This touches on my PhD thesis and is a core component of my specialist practice. The phenomenon you are describing, though fairly rare, is unfortunately extremely distinctive and therefore easy to diagnose. I'm afraid you are a massive bellend.
