One year a few a couple of decades back on a PCA fall foliage tour in the middle of the day in a line of cars a middle car had the misfortune to have a skunk try to cross the road. Normally skunks only are seen at dusk or night so that was strange in itself. The unfortunate driver of a nice 911 hit the skunk, and the guts were thrown onto the heat exchangers and started baking themselves in place. The skunk spray sac was ripped open and covered the bottom of the car. It was a cool day so they were needed to run the heaters but were gagging.
He finally pulled over, and called for a flatbed tow back to his favorite repair shop. Some poor chap had to steam clean the bottom of the car several times and they let it idle for a few hours to cook off as much stink as possible.
He said ever a few year later if the car was left closed up when he first got in there was a hit of skunk and guts. He was ready to sell it to get a new 911 and he made sure to sell it in the spring with the windows down.
