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.

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.

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

my neighbor grabbed it by the tail while I distracted it :roll: , 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.
