Team Jeff and I were headed back to Phoenix from SEMA and a rabbit decided to try and press his luck.
It was dark and there was no time to react - so the rabbit just "went under". Or so we thought! There was very little effect to the car's stability and we were joking about the rabbit "spraying out" through the rear diffuser onto the SUV behind us.
About 50 miles later, we pulled into a gas station in Kingman, AZ and thought we might see something. But we weren't sure? Very quickly a crowd gathered. Those from the front immediately started taking pics. Those coming up from the rear to look at the GT came around front and had an odd look in their face.
The rabbit was pretty much fully in tact. It had wedged between the lower, front body panel and the air damn. It did nothing to the cheap air damn, and instead, cracked the lower body panel. It was so "wedged" it could not be easily pulled out. So we bought some heavy duty gloves and some WD40 to ease him out of there.
Team Jeff offered to perform the ceremony and I obviously conceded to his wishes. When the rabbit came out, the rear feet didn't. So we drove home with the lucky rabbit's feet somewhere in the car. And no speeding tickets to boot! So I said I wanted them removed, stuffed, dyed black so I could hang around my mirror!
After further examination (removal of front trunk liner and front air damn/diffuser) there were no rear rabbit's feet to be found. But there was some "meat" to add to the "GT Rabbit Stew"! Eeeeew!
