Default I re-defined Skunk Werks...

i actually "Werked" a skunk... Last night, coming home from the local car scene, there was a large skunk in the middle of the freeway, dead, and in 2 pieces. Lets just say, i made about 5 more pieces of it. hit it dead on going 75mph.
the aftermath... my aci chin spoiler is in 2 pieces and VERY bloody, my whole underbody has blood and guts, and cooked meat now thanks to my exhaust pipes. it smelled like my rear and was just, what the English call, a "Bloody Mess"...

i have pics, i'll try and get them up soon.

soo, just wanted to share my story.

Hey don't laugh, it's a widely known fact that when a skunk sleeps his skull compresses and he bleeds from his mouth

hhaa..hilarious commentry guys!!! i love it!

im going to call my insurance and see what is covered without making my premium go up. we'll see...

i spent about 2 hrs cleaning her up yesterday. jacked the car up on one side, sprayed engine degreaser all over the bottom and sprayed it with hot water. most of the blood is gone, but there still is fur and some carcass left in the grooves. im going to have to touch it and rip it out prolly... as for the lip, shes toast. i bent it back into a relatively flat shape. paint is ALL messed up, as expected... we'll see...

i don't have the net at home, as soon as i got it, i'll get pics up!
