    I'm serious. The little bastard must have crawled up into my engine area to get some warmth, I can see where he is, but I can't (and won't) pull him out. He's wedged in there pretty good. I'm planning on taking my car to the local car wash to ask them if they can get up there and do the deed. Any other suggestions? (I'll take serious ones into consideration... if you want to joke about it, maybe I'll find humor in it after this is all said and done).

    1.a prehensile-tailed marsupial, Didelphis virginiana, of the eastern U.S., the female having an abdominal pouch in which its young are carried: noted for the habit of feigning death when in danger.

    Are you sure????

    If you drive for 15 minutes he'll be medium rare. 25 for well done. Redneck cooking 101.

    understood... after the rat was removed, the guy at the car wash asked me what scent I wanted put in the car (you know, new car smell, pina colada, etc)... I told him, do you have non dead rat smell??? :pity:

    Dude that car might be done.

    My girlfriends Golden Retriever ate a dead fish off my boat one time, his breath has smelled horrible ever since. Just sayin'

    Also, remember that episode of Seinfeld? Yeah...

    that's funny, there is a guy in a local car club I attend occasionally that cooks hot dogs on his manifold as well, they wrap them in foil, hang them from his hood scoop; go cruise and then go to a park and eat, haha

    I was only 50% kidding. I had a recipe book for cooking on your engine. Foil wrapped meat with proper spices and veggies. Yummy!

    yeah... I'm not looking forward to turning on the A/C when I get in my car, it's a hot day here in So. Cal... maybe "recycle" function will work...

    As for you guys talking about food, I don't know that I'm going to be hungry for a while... the smell... still in my nasal cavity...I think i need to go to Vegas and sit in a smokey casino to clear it...

    Ya know, funny thing was when the guy pulled the rat out, he just left it there on the ground (where all the cars lineup to get vacuumed before they are washed... I was thinking to myself, "dude, you gonna leave that there like that, what if some kid finds it?" But instead I GTF outta there...
