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.

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!!!

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!

I hit a rabbit going like 75-80 on the highway. he went right under my tire and "popped" out the back of the car in a puff of furr. Moron rabbit ran out and went RIGHT under my wheel. I hit a dog once in my mom's van, going like 15-20mph. It was a big Rottweiler, got up and walked away.

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.

Also hit a cat once, horrible experience that I hope never happens again.  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).

^ ^ ^ 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...

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...

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 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
