Ran over a big one, and it took almost a month for the smell to go away.

Don't feel bad, I ran over someone's urethane molding off a bumper or fender. Drug it down the parkway where there is NO shoulder and three lanes of fast traffic. I had to pull over (not out of the way) and get under my car to pull it loose. I was lucky no one rear ended me while I was doing it...

Oh, but it didn't smell.

One of the worst smells there is IMO.

Scrape off what ya can... it'll take a bit for it to all burn off.

One of the few times I let my EX-wife drive my car she ran over a quail! She denied it but when we pulled into a gas station there was bird feathers all over my undercarriage. Look like we hit a down pillow!

You could always take some sand paper to the pipes.

I was blasting up an entrance ramp years ago in my 89 at about 3am when I saw the biggest armadillo I'd ever seen dead in the middle of the ramp. With no where to go I tried to high center it. Man that was the nastiest crunch I ever heard, and the smell hung around for a few days. Yuk!
