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?

Keebler elf?

angry bird?

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.

Garden Gnome

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...

possum...???

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.

Call Turtleman.....yeyeyeyeye!!

Oh wow! That's crazy. Do you park outside?

Live action:tup:

WTF? That's amazing! How the hell does that happen?

Live action!!!!! LOL

Car's parked in the garage. He either got on at work or in the evening when the garage door was open. Work is 25miles/35minutes away. He could of survived a trip. Live in a neighboorhood with cookie-cutter style plots but there have been possum sightings. Work is next to a national wildlife refuge.

Guessing he got in on the drivers side where the pan is open on the side of the engine block. I'm guessing he was stuck since I didn't feel him move around when I was unbolting the pan.

lol wtf

You're lucky he didn't bite you... they can be nasty when they are backed into a corner.

Damn... thats crazy...

Probably lucky he had a way out and I didn't try to grab him.

That is funny as hell.

thats insane!!! i would think a rat or something but not a freaking possum!!

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.

Live action for sure!! yeyyeyey!! ...OP should send this to Jalopink

damn thats crazy!

I would have burned the car and move to another state :eek:

Hell in AZ we only have to worry about scorpions, rattle snakes, tarantula's and retired folks.

Oh wait I checked we DO have possum also.

You're lucky it didn't bite the sh*t out of you.

Hell, I could get you a toe with polish!

Classic.... LOL I pulled a new car in once when I worked at a dealership. Popped the hood and a big wood rat was under the hood. Dropped it on his head, LOL. He scampered off out of the shop as everyone watched in disbelief. He was the size of a cat.

You're lucky that it's not a skunk... LOL
