from my friend ryan’s good friend, brian:
“So my brother goes to leave work last Thursday, gets in his car, turns on the AC, and is nearly knocked out by the stench of dead animal. He opens up the hood of his car and finds a dead animal stuck to his engine.
Apparently a hedghog (this is an assumption because the actual species was hard to determine) crawled in from under his car the night before and fell asleep on the engine block. When Eric drove his car to work the next morning he must have woken the animal up but it was unable to escape (whether it was unable to make it through the moving belts or was just scared shitless we’ll never know). Sometime during the 45 minute drive to work the animal died and got stuck to his engine block (think frying a steak in an unoiled pan).
Eric had to literally pry the 2-3 foot animal off his hood with his ice scrapper. As he pried the animal out of his car it tore on his hood latch at which point he realized the animal had not been scared completely shitless because it’s guts and crap spilled out all over the ground (which he had to clean up).
His car reeks.
