Suggestions for cleaning animal carcass off bottom of car

Like it says, what's the best way to clean the underside of the car? I believe it's a deer, though it was difficult to tell what the bloody, chunky, skinned, deer-sized pile was on the road in the dark. It smacked the front lower bumper and scraped pretty much the entire underside of the car, leaving stringy meaty, hairy chunks on anything that wasn't a smooth pass over. I don't think I can stand to drive without cleaning it up a good bit first because it stinks to high heaven. Anybody?

Pressure washer? At least your deer was already scrunched, my deer totaled the car 4 years ago

Ok, first thing, thanks to whoever moved this, I didn't think about putting in the right category since I'm usually in the 2nd gen section. Second, I didn't have much choice in hitting it because I was about 3-4 carlength's behind a truck who drove completely over it without touching it(couldn't see it coming ahead of him) and I was beside a pick-up on the two lane road so I couldn't move over either. I was going a little over 65 and braking would have probably made things worse. I'm not sure if a pressure washer would get this junk off, it really got scraped onto the underside. I'm thinking I may have to physically scrape it off by hand. Ugh. Plus it's now pretty well cooked onto the exhaust pipes.

Get one of these lawn sprinklers from Sears (about $10), hook it up to a hose, stick it under your car, and leave it there for a while.

So keep it that way when you go fast your exhaust will heat up and the ricers behind you will smell yoru stink trail.

The best way is to probably do it by hand. At least that way you now some pressure washer jets are not cramming chunks of deer into forsaken areas that you would normally not have a chance of getting into with your hand. The sprinkler idea is pretty good. Just keep it on a low setting and let it sit for a while. Should make removal of the deer quite a bit easier.
