"
And the horrible screeching sound that came from the car"
I was going to tell you to pull the freaking squirrel out of your radiator shroud.
They scream when you separate them from their nuts.
In a related story... I was told by one of the guys at Kicker that built Shammoo that they came into the shop one morning to the smell of meat roasting.
A squirrel managed to put his paws and tail across some battery terminals.
Five batteries.... Roasted squirrel.
