LMAO, this reminds of what happened to my nieghbours pet cat about 6 years ago.
I came out one cold morning to go to work, climbed in to my 1976 Ford ZG Fairlane V8, turned the key on and the engine hesitated a bit on start up so i gave it a bit of a foot full when it started to crank over and then it roared to life....but I could hear this load thud, thud from the engine bay.
So I popped the bonnet and went around to open it when all of a sudden this cat...or should I say half a cat came racing out from underneath having a complete spastic attack...I looked astonished at this poor cat and then relized what had happened as I opened the bonnet and saw the rear end and back legs of the cat jammed up in the radiator/Fan shroud on my V8.
I quickly raced around back and opened the boot and got out the heavy bar/handle to my hydralic jack and went and put the front half of the cat out of it's misery with a single blow to the head.
the poor thing had went to sleep up near the warm radiator of my car and had copped a nasty surprise when I cranked the car over....damn it took weeks to get the smell of burning cat hair and blood out of my car.
My nieghbour was pretty upset but I didn't have to replace the cat as I had warned them about it sleeping on my car(it normally used to sleep in the middle of the bonnet and leave muddy little foot prints) plenty of times before
