Last night on my way to pick up my wife, while dark and with a slick road, a fury rodent with a white racing stripe darted out in front of me. I hesitated for a moment. Is Peppy Le Pew going to sprint across? Is he going to change direction, like his idiot squirel friends? Is he going to stall? Me being of equally sharp minded intellect, can't deside if I should goose it, hit the binders, or swurve? Going around was not an option, owing to oncoming traffic. I opt to hit the brakes. Peppy stops dead in his tracks. I'm off the brakes as I sail over top of him. No sound. No thud. I look in my rearview mirror to see him in the middle of the road with his tail in the air. Is he waving thank you and goodbye? Is he 'high-tailin' in the opposite direction? Is he giving me the skunk's version of a 1 finger salut? A moment later I have my answer. That unmistakeable aroma of O-de-skunk. Hopefully the odor won't lingure. This morning my garage stank. Anybody have any exterior car-deodorizer ideas? (PS we have a skunk epidemic in our neighborhood, and with no preditors that aint about to end any time soon)
Only one thing for it... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K65GaJMl9KQ&feature=related]DEAD SKUNK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD - LOUDEN WAINWRIGHT - YouTube[/ame]
Now...for something completely different. Tomato juice is a sure cure for any lingering aromas. At least it always worked on the fool bird dog. Come tho think of it, prob'ly otta get that song on the motoring mix.
That should be interesting. Maybe I could hook up a bottle like the fertilzier dispenser that you connect to your hose and give the MINI a spray. Actually I'm going to wait a week and see what happens all on its own. Good video :biggrin5:
How's you're relationship with the local stealer / dealer? Might be a good time for a quick tire rotation....
That is a fantastic idea Happy to say though that this morning when I went into the garage, the smell was gone. Spike is now his usual self again
