Help! Skunk is hiding under my car

I had to park my car outside tonight and noticed on my security camera a skunk crawled up under my car and has not left. I banged on the car a couple times but the skunk did not leave. Now what?

I figure I have a few options:
1. Wait till morning and hope its gone. Of course, if its not gone I will likely have skunk spray, dead skunk, or both when I start my car.
2. Put a sprinkler on a hose and stick it under my car to make it very wet under there. The skunk may spray, but he will probably not stay...
3. Wait and watch the security camera and hope to catch him leaving, then move the car.

What would you do? I really dont want the smell of skunk permanently wafting into my car.

Just make sure that little guy doesnt spray your AMG!

I like the sprinkler idea, let it rip and watch him run but get the hell out of the way.

This is funny
So what happened?

It's too late for my input, but you could have thrown some trash in the back yard and he would have crawled out to investigate--then boom hit 'em with some lead

Actually, I did not have to drive my car today so I dont know. After its been dark for a couple hours, I plan to start the car and see what happens. Before I pull it into the garage, I will drive it around a bit to try and dislodge any stowaway skunks.

Stay tuned....

I am glad to report I do not have a humorous story to add as an ending. It seems the skunk has gone. I started the car up, drove it a couple miles with lot of swerving, but no sign of a skunk or its perfume. I will really avoid parking outside from now on.
