So driving to work this morning I experienced something I have never before. Probably one of the nastiest things ever to me. Cruising at about 60 mph, I managed to run directly over a blob of something.. I didnt have enough time to swerve out of the way. There was a nasty thud and naturally, I Iooked in the rear view mirror to see what it was. All I saw was small chunks of whatever it was. I figured Id would pull over and see what It was. But before I could even think about pulling over, I started to smell this awful burning hair/ burning flesh smell. Worst smell ever. So about a mile later I pulled into a gas station just hoping I would see my front bumper scooting something along. Unfortunately there was nothing there. So I looked underneath... and.. there IT was. A super dead opossum. It was wedged super hard directly under my exhaust. So what am I gonna do?.. I pulled up onto a curb to see if I could get enough clearence to do the unthinkable. So there I went. With a small crowd I proceeded to pull this smelly ass animal out from under my car. I grabbed Its tail and pulled really hard... Of coarse.. Its stuck. It looked like its head had gotten wedged above my flex pipe somehow. So I continue to pull and pull. Nothing. Finally I decide to get mean with it. I used both hands and pulled as hard as I could. Then there was a terrible crunck/ craking noise. I summose it was his jaw cracking open as I pulled its melting body from my hot exhaust. It came free.. and thats that. Figured Id snap a couple photos of the process. then drove off. But the whole ride to work, It smelled like burning dead opossum. 
Maybe its too nasty to share but whatever. I figured this has to happen to more people than me. So share your roadkill stories.. if you dare
