...after spotting the large snake while checking the car’s fluids...

With a snake that big, you might want to check where you were standing for extra fluids, too.

Several years ago, I was in a meeting for the local youth baseball association. A local online newsletter had picked up on some local kids who were picked up for underage driving when the car they "borrowed" from the driveway stopped in the McD drive through line because there was no coolant and the car was now a really large piece of metal. The police were involved.

I thought the message the coaches should transmit to the youth was "Always check fluids before you drive" but I was outvoted.

I would have been standing behind the police supervisor.

In Australia, this story would have had a different ending.

Coming to the theater next summer: "Snakez n the Hood"

Good thing he wasn't driving a Shelby Cobra

Or a Dodge Viper.

I think I remember a Yugo Constrictor.
Then again, maybe not.
