Oil Change Excitement

Changing my oil on Saturday and saw this before taking off the engine tray. Anyone want to guess what it turned out to be?

Dead bird? My old 350Z ate one once. I carried him around for a few months, like a smelly little ant-covered buddy.... I miss him sometimes.

Nope... I'll give you guys a hint... What you see is a toe and if you look real carefully, you'll see it has a toe nail. First glance at it I didn't think anything of it. Then it struck me that there's nothing supposed to be there...

Winner!

Before I dropped the pan I was sure he was dead. I'm sooo lucky i did the oil change when I did. 1 more day of driving and that sucker would of been dead. Here he is walking away after I dropped the pan. We just looked at each other for a second, then he turned around and stumbled off like he was drunk.

Your avatar perfectly describes mfw.

Possums, in my experience, are a bit more docile than raccoons. Once ran into a corner in the roof that had an overhang for a window or something, possum living there.

Also, once saw one cross the street at night. Stared right at me, blankly, before leisurely turning its head and continuing to cross the street.

OP, rep for having strange **** happen to you.
