What a mess.
Last night while heading in my C4 for a Christmas Tree lighting, I drove through cow manure that a friendly farmer dumped on the street. I didn't see it until I was in it, thought it was just soil. Ha! It was wet gushy manure.
It was in the wheel wells, the sides and on the mufflers, which enhanced the smell. After four hours the car is clean once again.
This ia an experience I hope not to enjoy again.
Is kinda funny now that everything is back in order.

That's funny! Chitty, but funny!
If you ever lived in a big metro area, ya kinda get numb when traffic reporters come on the radio. And so, I was barely paying attention when the traffic reporter mumbled something about truck spilling a load of chicken part and "stuff" the I-285 loop (around Atlanta).
Suddenly, the car in front of me swerved abruptly to his left, leaving what looked like an open lane to me, tho I was looking into the setting sun. I was still trying to figure out what was the reason for the violent maneuver, when suddenly it was as tho I was driving on an icy road.
The car was squirming around - the rear wanted to pass the front, and I was pretty bizzy steering to keep the car going in a straight line. There was also something being picked up by the tires and going 'bumpity bumpity' around inside the fenders. What IS that noise?? Then, suddenly the smell hit me, and I put two and two together just exactly where it was that spill was the traffic reporter had been squawking about...
