can u tell me what kind of spider is it?

i saw one in my car the other day and i freaked out. it was pretty big, like a size of a non stretched medium rubber band.

more lighter orange than dark, it was solid orange with no mixed colors. it was hairy and had long fulled legs (not too thin legs). it has two body parts and the body was larger than the face.

does it sound poisonous?

  2. Well, no spiders are poisonous, almost all are venomous.  Most have weak venom though, remember the venom is made to subdue other "bugs", not humans.  

    First thought is this guy;

    This is a species of huntsman spider.  Huntsman spiders have weak venom to humans, but are famous for how big they get (some species up to 11 inches leg tip to leg tip), and crawling on walls with their long thick legs sprawled out.

    Also, the "bright colors means poisonous" is not true.  It is true that some spiders and a lot of other bugs have bright colors as a warning, but it is not an accurate way of telling how dangerous it is.  In fact, all of the most dangerous spiders, like the black widow, the brown recluse, the Sydney funnel web, and the Brazilian wandering spider are very drab in color.  Black to brown.

  3. I think it may be poisonous.  The universal colors for poisonous animals (newt, arachnids, insects, frogs, etc) Are bright colors (red, orange, blue, sometimes green)
