There is absolutely nothing you can do. Your car is now junk. But I...the magnanimous one...will give you $50.....nay $75 to take the car off your hands and alleviate your pain....

Well, I guess you'll just have to wait for it to dissipate. Maybe the stinky skunk stuff got somewhere tucked up in the undercarriage?

Do you have any of those automatic car washes around you that spray the underside of the car?

Maybe you should drive through a field of dasies to cancel the smell out.
From what I hear, it's pretty difficult to get that smell out. See, if you're car was on jackstands like mine, you would'nt have this problem.
