Hmmm, roasted squirrel? Make sure to check for nesting material, could make for a clog or fire.

If you have lots of the little critters arround, after you get rid if this one, try sticking a tennis ball in the exahust while parked.

Good luck :seeya

Reminds me when I discovered that a racoon was nesting in my spare tire carrier. How did I find out? My buddy who was driving behind me informed me that a racoon jumped out from underneath my car while going 30mph! No need to worry the racoon was OK :lol:
