I Created Roadkill
For the very first time in my life, I hit a living creature with my car. On Monday night I was coming home from Mike's house. Just before I got to my neighborhood (ironic since I figured if I'd ever run a critter over, it would be up at his place since he's out in the woods) I saw something dart out into the road. It was the telltale black with a white stripe. It was moving from left to right, so I did a little swerve to the left to try and avoid it. Sadly, the poor little guy changed his mind at the last minute and turned around. Poor thing should have gone with his first instinct. I felt the distinct thump thump of both of my right tires squishing him.
At some point in this whole ordeal, he apparently managed to squirt skunk juice on my car... so now it stinks. Like a lot. I posted this on Facebook and was given several options by my friends. The first is to pay to have my car detailed and the second is to sell it. Yikes!
I've come up with option three which is to leave it parked on my driveway until it stops smelling. I'll let you all know how that works out. A very little bit came in through the vents, so the inside even smelled... I remedied that with Febreeze and my Illuminations cranberry orange smelly car thing. Needless to say, that created a pretty disgusting smell in itself. I guess I'll just have to wait until it wears off. Now I'm all paranoid that I'm going around smelling like skunk (you know how really smelly stuff like smoke or skunk sticks in your hair and clothes when you're around it enough?).
I do feel pretty bad... it's the first time I've ever hit something, let alone killed it. Poor little skunk.

I ran over a skunk once and started crying. Fortunately for me, it did not spray my car.
