Oil Change Excitement

B&W_Evader · 09-04-2012, 11:04 AM

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.

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...???

B&W_Evader · 09-04-2012, 03:08 PM

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.

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.
