The first car I had in on Wed was a BMW for ac work. This is what I found when I opened the hood

Is it someone's wig or does it have a face?

If that's a 'possum, don't loose it. Bring it Sunday and I'll throw it on the BBQ!

once stored a Taurus out back for the summer. went to throw the battery back in for fall driving and found something that looked just like that. had built a nice nest and was getting ready for a Michigan Winter. We never did get the smell out of the car.

Ron (and Mark), thanks for starting my day out with a chuckle.

That's not a possum, that's the turbo. I hope the ac problem wasn't a bad smell - it's amazing how bad those critters stink.

Dead Possum, yikes!!

Well at least it didn't attack you!

People joke about the hamsters under my Fiat's hood. wonder how much hp an opossum puts out?

that may be the secret to BMW's performance

Oh wow! How did you deal with it?

my neighbor grabbed it by the tail while I distracted it

, he let it go out in our planters. So I guess we won't be having possum at the bbq on Sunday

Had the engine rebuilt for my old Nova. Went to push car back in the shop and suprised a Groundhog under my hood. Or the G-hog suprised me!

Dang, I was half serious, I've eaten 'possum before, and it's pretty good meat.
