I've heard stories about holes in oil pans and cracked bellhousings but that's about it.

Yes we had a customer here in town ran over a small board and busted the oil pan, bellhousing, tailshaft housing and yoke. It was a nightmare. It was in a 2005 GTO.

yikes!

I ran over a woodchuck...the size of a small dog

this thing had to weigh 25-30 lbs

I still have to get my car in the air to see if any damage was done

Animals (except for the elk) are usually too soft to break stuff underneath the car.
