| Weird Stench? Skunk?
Hey guys
Just today I noticed there is a foul smell in my garage.
It smells somewhat like burnt rubber/metal
My dad thought It was me burning the clutch, but even if I did the smell wouldn't linger overnight.
I checked all around the car and I notice some brown poop looking goo, kinda like dried mud on one of my rear tires.
The question is, is this skunk poop? Never seen what that looks like...and how do I get rid of the smell?

metals burn? dont they melt.....? anyways sometimes burnt rubber smell is caused by platic bags stuck somewhere bottom of car, etc where its hot enough that it melts it and it stays on there.
and for the sake of getting rid of the smell, why dont u take a whiff of that brown goop to see if its the cause. could be just mud.

And about the pics. Well I already scrubbed it off because I was sure that was the cause. The smell is now not as strong,
but its still there and I'm afraid that my garage has absorbed some of the smell because I wasn't aware of this until my dad informed me the next day
If it was road kill, wouldn't the entire car smell? The smell is only coming from my left rear tire..
