im leaving my friends house when i notice something stuck in my grille. thought it was leaves at first, but then it turns out they were feathers. theres a f*ckin bird cramped up the corner of bumper, pinned to my grille. i got no clue as to how it got there, i dont even remember hearing any type of thud or seeing anything fly low. so i get a stick and flick it off with my friend laughing at me the whole time. next thing i notice the bird bent in my grille! that bird must've hit pretty damn hard to do that. woulda took pics but i didnt have my camera lol.
j/k I dodged a snake the other day.. looked in my rear view mirror and the guy behind me hit it straight on and cut it in half.. then we were next to eachother at the stop light and he yells to me.."I didnt see it, I swear!" ha.. kinda funny
one time on 87 north just junctioning off 85 north i ran over a RACOON!!!! and i was trippen the whole way home that i had just made roadkill. luckily my car wasn't dropped at the time... otherwise he might've came along for the ride a few miles down the road.
I once hit a bird.. I was driving probably at 30 MPH.. Next thing I know, a bird comes flying really fast (Flying under the influense) and hits my wind shield.. The bird lands in the middle of the road.. Humm If hitting my wind shield didn't kill it.. traffic would.. It was his fault.. the bird was Drunk..!!!! i'm not a murderer!!!
haha... A friend of mine hit an armadillo. Err actually he rolled over it like a random speed bump... he said it just waddled away like nothing happened. Left a big dent behind his wheels though.
I live out in the middle of farm country. Roadkill is basically every mile. I've hit a couple squirrels, and maybe a woodchuck in my gts. My bro's hit TONS of birds (they need to learn how to fly). We wont even go into my brother missing 10 deer, and then the one in the back runs into the side of his car. My Ex hit a dog, but the dog was able to walk away (she was in an Eclipse). Nothin like middle of nowhere Michigan!
a few weeks ago i was driving and i saw a small dog up ahead of me on the hwy, but he ran back to the median before i got close to him, but then right as i was passing he darted out in front of me...it sucked so bad, i could hear it clunk under my car!!! i couldn't move anywhere though, b/c it was a 2 lane hwy, and there was a car right next to me and behind me...aww it was so sad...i cried all the way home.
I was driving with a friend once at night through a freaky residential area. Then all of a sudden a squirl hits our winshield!! Scared the piss out of both of us. What had happend was it was going accross a telephone wire that ran over the street, slipped, and fell!

I normally try and avoid things, haven't killed or driven over any animals. But it's different on a bike, it's either the guard-rail or the rabbit. Hmm...
Frogs, god damn frogs. When it rains there everywhere and is almost impossible to avoid them. Found one stuck in my grill once, all dried up, nasty. Also hit a cat once, horrible experience that I hope never happens again.
lol, try driving inbetween craig and meeker in western colorado, it's harder to miss the dead dear then it is too hit them, so much road kill on that road, you can't miss the guts it so nasty it's like santa went and murdered all his reserve raindeer, comet and rodolf have gotta die some time you know..so he has extras

This sounds just like me! I hate frogs, and I hit a cat, or what I thought looked like a cat. It was running faster than I was driving and smacked into the side of my car. Left a HUGE paint "spiderweb". Cracked the paint in about 4 different places-but then a car pulled out in front of me and it got repainted (after it was totaled).
I've never hit anything before in my life..my friend and I drove over a dead skunk once and his car stuck for a couple of days...we didnt even hit the thing just drove over it..I just laughed and was happy it wasnt my car...
"Fate can only take you so far, its up to you to decide what to do when it takes you there."
One time i was driving on a 2 lane road and i guess i was following the car in front to close and he turned hella quick to avoid a squirrel, i didnt have enough time to move and ran it over. All i see is the guy looking at me in his mirror laughing..oops
couple months ago i was going down the highway and was about to pass a truck when another swevered out of lane all of a sudden i see picese of a deer like its hole torsi a head and a lot of blood i had know where to go so i ran over it on the drivers side
luckaly i didn't have my jetta which had a bout an inch of ground clearence on the bumber and 3/4 inch for oil pan i had my moms durango i got out to check the truck for damage and there was just a lot of blood hair and guts
the other day i was driving behind some woman in a sentra se-r when two birds playing/mating/fighting what ever flew out in to the road one turned in time the other didn't and all i saw from behind the girl was feathers
i felt bad but happy that it wasn't me
hey thats a 20 minute phone call "if i have seen farther it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" derek: do you know that non dairy cream is flamable Jennie: ...derek..what did you do
^ ^ ^ haha ya damn squirrels, i saw a lady in a 4runner hit a little kid on a bike yesterday, that was pretty bad but the stupid kid shouldnt have been crossing the road, its a high traffic road and there was not a crosswalk in sight, so i think the kid was at fault, the ambulane came and took him away and all the people that were driving away were like omg because there was a bike lodged underneath the front axle of the 4runner, didnt look too pretty, hope that kid was ok...
wouldn't that be jaywalkin? or jaybikin.. that sux for the kid though.. its the darn parnets fault for not teaching their kids hopefulling the youngin is alright and will pull through

HAhaha... you guys are hilarious! I never hit anything with my celica, yet (crosses fingers), but I hit a coyote coming home with my old Acura Legend going about 60. Blood was all over my bumper, right side of windshield, hood and fender. I stopped the car and looked at the coyote... damn his mouth was open and his front right leg ripped off. His neck was also bent back and I could see his intestines coming out of his abdominal area.
I took out an old t shirt and covered him. I felt so bad...
you guys seen that one insurance commercial where the squriels run into the road and make the driver swerve over and get into an accident..
that comes to mind
Yes squiles are everyehwere around my house. My neigbhor has a feeder and there everywhere. Ive been able to dogde of all of them so far. There so stupid they run out, stop, then keep running, then they stop agin. Like they never can take more that 3 steps w/out stopping.
Last year, I was driving with two of my friends up to Canada Montreal a week before Thanksgiving (took that week off and was trying to beat the crowd and have some fun). There was this SUV that was hanging with us for two hours cutting in front of us (and we cut them back. We were the only cars on the road for that two hours.) And then we saw this big turkey flying across the high way in front of us. Apparently the guys driving the truck was too concentrated at the rear mirror watching us, he did not notice it and hit the poor bird right on. We were able to see it because we were ten cars length behind it. It's was so funny, the bird spun up to the sky so high we did not see it come back down. The way that it went up I thought was something that would only appear in movie and cartoons. You have to be there to see how funny that was (Like team rocket in Pokemon blasting off into the sky) and it was a big bird (20+ lb). The guys was so scared he slammed on his gas and drove out of sight in front of us like there is no tomorrow. We were doing 90mph, he must have gone 120mph+. I guess that was his first 'hit and run' and he still don't know what he hit. My friends was joking the turkey was fleeing from the United States for the Holiday but it still cannot escape his fate even in Canada.
a baby goat, that is. no, im joshing you...hahah! I never hit anything with my Celica! Well I hit something but didnt kill it because it was already dead. I ran over something that was wrapped in a white blanket, could've been a dog or something, well the point is, is that it crack my car's front lip...argghhhhh

a few years back, i was driving down a street in my city and i'm stopped at a light, my cousin and i see this tripped out pigieon stubbling accross the sidewalk about to enter the street. our light was red, so we were stopped and the pigieon stubbled right underneath my tire, i was thinking "what the fuck am i gonna do now, damn bird". luckily the bird "hop-flapped" (technical term ) underneath the car right next to me. when the light turned green no one would move, everyone was at a dead stop for about a minute until everyone behind us started honking (we were in front). i look over at the driver and he gives me a sort of sad "what the hell do i do" sort of look and drives over the bird...very, very slooooooowly. OMG the site of that bird getting crushed sad, but damn funny
so im comin out from the back of my apartment building which has no light watsoever. im pullin into this passageway in between buildings and there was like a pack of 6 racoons to my left. they went crazy wen my headlights shined on them. i didnt see them in time so i think i hit a few. the sad part is i tried to swerve last minute and hit the corner of a building.
