When you are in a car, the road is not the only thing you should be constantly aware of! Oddly enough, there are times when you need to keep an eye on your own car. Here are 24 unsettling car photos that make us worry every time we step into our vehicles. They are all taken from the sub-Reddits r/oddlyterrifying and r/wtf. Share with us if you have any such car photos.
1. An Ominous Note
Customizing your vehicles carry a different kind of danger. This incident actually made the news too. To summarize, it was done by a bicyclist whom the driver had cut off on the road, recently. So, it was a case of road rage.
2. Terrifying
Your car is a big space, and this car photo proves just how easy it is to hide a tracker. Fortunately, a commenter clarifies: “If an AirTag that doesn’t belong to you was traveling with you the iphone send you a warning.“

3. Yummy?
Do NOT leave anything that can rot in your car. There are a lot of hiding places and it is comfortable enough for many such insects to infest the vehicle. Of course, this person seems to have gotten a bit scammed.
4. Haunting
The 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers remains one of the most tragic events in the history of the country. These cars possibly belonged to the people who lost their lives during that attack.
5. It’s A Family Party
These car photos show how easy it is to have an infestation problem. A commenter helpfully suggests: “You put your car outside, in the sun. The heat drives them out. I miss Australia – but not these hairy buggers.“
6. Cars Can Spontaneously Explode?
Apparently this can happen, and the reasoning is logical, as this commenter explains: “I had a car explode, and after the fire department tore it apart I asked if they could tell what caused the fire, and he laughed in my face. “It’s an engine. An internal combustion engine. It’s literally a contained explosion, and sometimes parts fail.”“
7. Under The Door Handle
Here is another of the car photos that show of the many places where spiders and other insects can hide. Of course, it has a higher case of happening in Australia.
8. It’s Alive
Mold might look harmless, but remember that you can breathe the spores in. It can be very harmful. To deal with mold, here is a commenter’s experience: “Hawaii here. A few days of heavy rain and humidity can do this to your vehicle. Just random mold. Not to this extent right away obviously but enough to make you take action.
Most people here use a spray bottle with 50/50 white vinegar and water.
It kills the mold on contact and tends to dissuade it from coming back for a while.
I’ve had it bad enough in a Wrangler that I had to pull the seats and spray/scrub them individually to ensure I got all the cracks and crevices.“
9. Straight Out Of Final Destination
By the way, the OP clarified that it was not due to a lack of maintenance. He says: “it was about 115+ fahrenheit that day, and the police officer i talked to said he thought the fuel line broke and the hot day plus maybe some dead leaves or something caught the car on fire.“

10. Ant Infestation
We think there must have been something left inside that lured the ants inside. OP thinks the same too: “This is under my child’s car seat. I guess something felt here somewhere which attracted them. I guess I don’t own the car anymore.”
11. A Stray Bullet
This just looks like an issue of the locality, and not the car. Fortunately, no one was inside when it happened, nor did the stray bullet hit anyone living.
12. Recklessness
The front windows of cars can look very sturdy, but when it is moving, stray objects can cause massive damage. A commenter describes their experience: “I did a case study during undergrad of something very similar to this. A group of kids decided, on thanksgiving day, to chuck a turkey at the windscreen of a car as they were driving by it. Physics, ya know, doing physics things, caused the turkey to smash through her window and crush her skull in, killing her on impact. This shit is no joke.“
13. Don’t Stir The Nest
Apparently, it is nothing to be alarmed about. Here is how a commenter describes their experience: “This happened at a school I taught at a while ago! A massive horde a bees randomly swarmed onto the seat of a bike. We called a beekeeper, and I swear to god she was a wizard.
She walks out in her goofy white moonsuit, holding a dinky wooden box. The box has a hole on the top. She goes to the bee-infested bike, puts the box under the bees who are bunched under the bike seat, then she slaps the top of the big seat. She proceeded to hold the box up and casually watch as all the bees flew into the box. Then she shut it, waved, and walked off.
She later explained that what happens is the bees are migrating and the queen gets tired. She goes down to rest wherever a queen bee pleases, and the bees swarm around to protect her. So all the bee keeper has to do is get the queen into the box, then the rest of the bees will go into the box on their own.”
14. Uninvited Guest
The first thing that comes to mind when seeing these car photos is that it must be from Florida. By the way, at the end of the clip, the alligator gets the stick it is being prodded with!

15. Musophobia
How did the mouse get in there? Also, that is a cup of coffee. The rat must be the most energetic it has ever been in its life.
16. Hands Off
Well, the easiest conclusion is that OP is under some kind of haunting. However, other prevalent theories include them being the hands of a raccoon. It can also be that some child put their greasy hand on the window at some place far away that OP had visited (like, the groceries).
17. Irresponsible Driver
Perhaps the most dangerous part about travelling in a car is the other irresponsible and dumb drivers. This is a massive safety hazard, as the post states.
18. What Are The Odds?
This is one of the car photos where you have to wonder exactly how the car ended up in that position. Not only did the passengers walk away, apparently they “ran” because this happened while being chased by the police.
19. Is That Even Meat?
Interestingly, someone actually identified the meat being prepared: “It looks like this person is making the chinese version of bacon. This is traditionally done by hanging meat that you’ve brined in a soya sauce mixture in a dry place. The newspaper is there to absorb the sauce droppings as it dries.” It is apparently known as “Lahp Cheung”

20. Fortunately, No One Was Around
Once more, this look like one of the car photos where the locality is at fault, and not so much the car. However, this should be a warning to be careful around parked cars.
21. Taxidermy
Yes, there are irresponsible pet owners who leave their dogs trapped inside their cars with the windows rolled up. But this time, it is not the case.
22. Kind Eyes
We believe this person is the driver’s friend, in this case. If not, this would be quite a creepy situation. But the majority of the commenters agree that the driver should “floor it”, after honking once or twice.
23. Under The Sea
Was the placement of the eyes intentional? Nevertheless, OP gave an update on the topic: “The owner was actually quite fun and laughed about it, and even let the engine on for me because I was so interested in the sound. The owner actually doesn’t deserve getting posted here lol.“
24. Drifting Aimlessly
Of course, there is obviously something very uncanny about this lone, colorful toy car drifting during an extremely stormy night, but there is also something sad about it.
