Anyone have any good road kill stories? I ran over a chipmunk on my bicycle and he got stuck in my rear brake. Have not hit anything with my car yet.

 

I live in cali just the other side of the santa cruz mountains and I drive up into the hills quite frequently to visit friends. The narrow twisty roads have a ton of deer on them. Bout 6 months ago I was driving up and there was a car stopped in the middle of the road that hit one while coming around a corner. It was a big Chevy Tahoe, but it smashed up his bumper/grill pretty good. Glad I didn't hit that thing, would've been alot worse. If run over the occasional squirrel, nothing to talk bout though.

 

I hit a bird in my dad's Jeep Wrangler once. Damn thing stuck right in the grille. Had to spray it out with a power washer [:'(]

 

My brother smacked a raccoon with his Volvo, the only damage was a dented license plate and a blood splatter.

 

Back when lowrider trucks were cool, I was following a buddy who hit a turtle. He deshelled it and threw it's insides allover my truck. We were on our way to Tampa for a car/truck show. Spent the whole show picking bits out of the grill. It sucked big time.

 

i hit two deer in 4 days with my BMW when i had only had it for a few months.. i was quite traumatized.

 

I hit a rabbit when i was 16 driving home from the DMV. It was the day i got my license!!!!

 

a bird flew into my parked car.....

Argh, I used to drive a 98 golf VR6, lowered with eibach and bilstein, and euro bumpers/moulding... it sat pretty low, as you can see.

Anyways, I went to visit my buddy who lives out in the middle of nowhere... as I am leaving, his mom informs me to watch teh hell out for deer, because my buddies sister had hit a deer 3 weeks ago, and her boyfriend had done the same just days earlier...

I take this advice, and am going like 80 km/h in an 80 zone (imagine!), its about 8:00pm, and dark... this dude in a truck is tailgating the hell out of me, because I am doing the speed limit, on gaurd for deer. Anyhow, up ahead about half a mile, this guy in a car is turning out of his driveway, so I sigh as sigh of relief, and figure THIS dude can hit a deer, not me! Before I had even finished that thought, TWO racoons bolt out in front of me. Yeah. Two. I was HARD on the brakes, which lowered the front end even more... I think my bumper basically plowed them off to the side, and god knows what the tailgater behind me did to them.

Stupid animals.

 

that vr6 is hella nice, what happened to it? don't you have like 27 other cars too chris?
