My Way News - Man pulls snake from car engine with 'chopsticks': "There were a couple of things wrong with Katie Prewitt's Geo Tracker. There was the rope that seemed to hang from the car's undercarriage. And then that hissing noise; maybe a faulty emissions valve. She took the car into her husband's Klamath Falls body shop, but Dave Prewitt wasn't quite sure what to make of the problem, either. He called his friend Martin Schenck, who works across the street at Downtown Automotive, looking for a little help.
That's when they saw it: A flash of movement inside the engine, a slithering sort of movement.
'It didn't take too long to figure out that sticking our hands in any part wasn't a good idea,' Schenck said, who's been working with automobiles for 28 years.
The 'rope,' it turned out, was an angry 3-foot diamondback rattlesnake. How it got there - or why - is anybody's guess, but it probably snuggled up to the Tracker's warm V6 engine while Prewitt had the vehicle parked at her Pine Grove home."
