I'm not a cruel person, and i hope you don't take it this way.
but i was out cruising once at 1am on easter morning, and ran over a bunny rabbit at about 20mph.
Haven't gotten **** for easter since then.
Only thing else i've accidently taken out was a squirrel. Damn thing couldn't make up its mind crossing the street and a car was behind me, so i chose to not endanger myself or the driver behind me with a quick stop

Thats about it. Do these cars like to attract animals or what?? Must be the coolant or badly aimed DOT lights lol.

I thought this was gonna be another thread about street racing that would be locking in 10 seconds, but this is much more morbid

I hit a squirrel the very first day i had my license, over 8 years ago. Haven't hit a living thing since.

street racing is for the birds. Speaking of birds, my ex managed to kill a bird with her cabriolet. I mean i've had 100's of birds swoop fast my car and never has one even hit, its like they have some super sonic radar to avoid collisions, but sure enough she took out a parrot at about 30mph.
I was in shock, because its not like you try to hit birds or anything sick like that, i've just had the oddest experiences with vw's. Never run over anything in the fords,bmw's.

...wrong topic,
When you said kill stories I was thinking you're talking about the test of mechanical wills on pavement, if you know what I mean, lest I say the tabboo word.

...although a groundhog did meet its demise under my old G60, may it be in a better place, amen.

saw a rabbit in the road, slammed on the brakes but it ended up by the side of the road....i went back to see if it was still alive with intentions to end its misery, but it had gone to a better place.
Oh yeah, and this was in my moms passat.

Nailed a squirrel last weekend, I even tried to miss him, still squashed him, his tail was still popping around, when I looked in the mirror, kinda felt bad about it, then friday morning last week about 5am, headin' to pick my dad up to go to mid-ohio sport's car course for some vintage race's, I whacked a big fat **** with my cow catcher from euro-lip, I could feel it rolling under the car crunching his bone's and smacking stuff, the spoiler hung in there, thank god, when I returned home late sunday, it was gone, I guess a turkey vulcher or a coyote got a good meal out of it

Ahhh, the Vortex.
Where it's perfectly OK to talk about mangling innocent creatures in gruesome detail.
But mention breaking the speed limit and you're blacklisted.

I nailed a rabbit (the animal, not the car) on the way to Winter Formal in high school. My date wasn't impressed.

And mods...I WAS SPEEDING AT THE TIME!!!

Ah the dog. Doing abt 70 down a dark Guatemalan road when right out of a curve's blind spot a big a$$ german shepherd jumps out on the road. A quick stab on the brakes, a course correction to avoid hitting it smack on center and WHACK....

Got him with the right corner of my bumper, the damn thing took a death crap all over the right side of my car, ripped off the trim and a chunk of paint from the right rear fenderwell. No way was I going to stop on this dark road so at the next gas station I stopped to survery the damage. Both turnsignals had popped out like bugeyes and the RH sidemarker was history.
The night I got my car from the body shop after the dog repair was the fateful night my C was murdered by a drunken idiot.

A huge buck rammed my fender and broke his neck on my hood while I was going like 25mph in Fairfax City at 7pm. Broke his damn antler off on my hood. All his fault yet I was stuck w/ the deductable. Now I'm a non-******* deer hunter, I hate them.
Funny thing happened years ago, was driving and saw a bat swoop towards my hood, after a bug I guess, well guess it followed the bug into my windshield, sounded just like a leather glove slapping my windshield. Probably didn't live from that. Then the same thing happened while I was driving my mom's Taurus a few weeks ago, amazing

yet true.

Got a turkey in my old volvo the day after thanksgiving, threw the sucker on top of the car and drove home with it. Pulled up next to a cop, and he gave me the thumbs up, didnt want to disapoint him so i smiled and laughed.
got a racoon once in the rado, and felt it roll the whole way back under the car. It was grusome
Image
but the really sick one is When i took my engine out in my old rado last january, i found its tail wedge in between the exaust downpipes. Had to get the fire wood tongs for that peice

The sad thing about this topic is that humans are encroaching on the natural habitats of wildlife and we are thus a nuisance to wildlife. Just look at all the cookie-cutter developments that are cropping up like kudzo all over formerly pristine landscapes. http://****************.com/smile/emthdown.gif
There is a place near me that rescues injured animals, rehabs them and releases them into their habitats. So anyone can take an injured animal to them for treatment. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Now that is the PETA content to balance this topic.
