Thanks Kerry! I contacted PETA because they are the experts on dead animals. I made it clear to them that I would never run over a live possum with my Pantera because it’s so darn hard to get the blood and fir off the underside of the car, but I wanted to know how much ground clearance my Pantera would need to clear a dead possum. When I told them the lowest point was less than 3.5” there was a long silence and then kind of a groan. They said the height of a dead possum is dependent on its age and how long it’s been lying on the road in the hot Georgia sun. Apparently they blot up some making them more than 3.5” and then they shrink down in a few days. Other vehicle traffic can impact the height especially 18 wheelers.
