Unfortunately – animals darting onto the roadway is a driving hazard. Deer, groundhogs, and skunks.
It can have devastating effect on your vehicle and your safety if you collide with an animal.
If you hit or run over a skunk – the effects are very pungent! That happened to me this morning on Route 340. I ran over a dead skunk and now my car smells so bad. I did some research and hope the methods I read will eliminate that terrible odor!
Experts say wash your car thoroughly with a mixture of mustard powder, white vinegar, and baking powder. Make sure you wash the undercarriage, and take a long drive to loosen skunk particles from your tire treads.
Hope this works or it is going to be a long and smelly weekend driving around in my vehicle!
