That was just NASTY!
I was out driving "Dust Off" on a rural back road today when I topped a small rise and there was road kill directly in the center of my lane. My only option was to straddle it. As I passed over it the lowest part of the scatter shield hit what used to be some kind of animal. The result was the bottom of the bell housing, transmission, crossmember, tail pipes and mufflers were coated with putrid flesh and fur. I got home and immediately put the car up on the lift and spent the next two hours cleaning the rotten flesh off the bottom of the car. It had even splattered up into the transmission tunnel. Holly crap what a mess! There was no damage to the car but OMG the smell made me ill. Just one disadvantage to a low ground clearance.

That is really nasty, and it still may smell a bit when warm.
I had the same scenario, crest a hill, see some roadkill, and 3 vultures munching on it.
I managed to stradle the roadkill, but nailed one of the vultures.
It took me several separate trips to the car wash, it was truly disgusting.Dave
