Was driving 20 minutes when he appeared over the window, he got that far before I could pull up to take him off. Very distracting and surprised he could hold on and move so fast

I'm all for nature but it was a bit stomach turning watching him slowly but quickly slurp his way up the window

My photography head is thinking all the cool things you could do with the rear mirror and snail. Insert quote don't look back live life in the fast lane Op this is postcard material. Love it! 🐌 😆

Lol well I can't take a straight photo at all, wish I'd got him when his head was peeking out.

That’s crazy, I just saw a snail on my motorbike yesterday. Only noticed when I got off the bike. 🤣🤣

I get them on my car windows regularly, but the question is how the fuck do they get up there ? 🤔

First time I had to drive while side eyeing a snail and also I couldn't get over how comfortable he seemed. Had his head to the side like a dogs head out the window
