Ohhh dat smell!

Just toss an open can of sardines in the back. You won't notice the skunk smell. Back in the day when I deer hunted, you could buy "skunk scent" to use on pads trailed from your boots to cover your smell.(about a 12" piece of string tied to your boot). One fellow really screwed me on a deal, so I waited for an opportunity to pour a bottle of that **** down the fresh air vent behind the wipers( this was way back in he day) He had about 3 years left to pay on the car, so he couldn't trade it. (that was in the days when banks would only finance for 4 years) Needless to say, he didn't have ANY social life to speak of. But what goes around,comes around, and stays!

I would be hesitant to do any major cleaning after hitting a skunk, but rather just wait it out.
Spoken like a pro!

Pet stores sell something called Outright I believe.
It's chemo therapy for skunk musk that reacts with it to eliminate the odor.
Late 20th century technology.

Talk about getting back at somebody. Can you imagine having to drive every day with that smell? I got a good laugh out of this one.

One good thing about being in the South. We have relatively few skunks. Possoms at least don't smell.

I had one take up residence in my garage once. We got into a fight when I tried to evict him and he sprayed the garage. That got into the whole house. I looked up somewhere on the internet and found out that vinegar slowly warming on the stove would remove the smell. It did. by the way, I killed the skunk. It was either me or him.
