First thing I thought of was Cannonball Run and that middle eastern guy with the royce. I hit a ton of things in my old car, 87 'lude, but they usually survived for some reason. Only ever hit a bird one time in my last 240, it fly head first into my windshield, bounced up, and spun into the road behind me. My gf and I discovered a sparrow lodged head first into the grill of her 87 cougar one day in highschool. The only things I have hit in the Escort is a lot of worms(come out on the road in the rain), I swerve for them but sometimes I hit the frogs too. One night on the way home the truck infront of me hit a skunk and the back tires flung it into the air and it must have released at that time cus my car stuck soooooo bad. Just my .02

I've hit a possum before and reversed to make sure I got him.When I did so, I found him "crabbing" across the road, so i got him again.I also slowed down for a "lamb" in the distance one night.When I got close enough I realised it was a really big hare so I ran him over.When I got up the next morning I found the rabbit body had stuck to a front support arm and had come for the ride home.When I drove down the road where I hit it the night before, it's head was there waiting there for me:)

Who's Steve Irwin?Haha, sick you reckon?I don't like rodents/pests.There has been an epidemic of rabbits in the South Island, and as for possums; they carry TB, which can infect our cattle, and that's definitely no good.I see it as just helping out where I can:)

I had a cat do the same thing to me. I was only going about 25-30 through my neighborhood and this stupid thing ran into the SIDE of my car! no damage to my car but a few days later I saw the same cat wandering around the neighborhood limping and I felt a little bad, but not really cuz I hate cats

A baby deer hit my moms Maxima at about 55mph about 5 months ago. It just ran into the car and scrambled for about 15 seconds to get back on its feet. Its mother just left him. Eventually in ran ito the woods. It was hilarious.

deer are no laughing matter, i thinkin an F1 driver was actually killed when he hit a dear that ran out on the track. Wanting to say it rolled over him and broke his neck.

I guess the opossum was DRT. (Dead Right There)

I had a friend that swerved to miss a dog that ran out in front of him. He went off a small bridge into a creek, and died a few days later. I hate to run critters over, but better them than me.

They almost totalled my moms Metro out when she hit a deer. And there are more deer around here than lawyers at a traffic accident. :D

Your supposed to speed up (not slow down) and hit them hard, hopefully they'll go over the car and do less damage to your ride

I forgot to mention that I killed a dog one night with a bus.There is no swerving with a bus with our narrow roads and the high COG a bus has.The dog "came out of nowhere" because it was in a dip in the road, and there was light in my eyes from the oncoming car.The passengers went back with an axe from an escorting truck to finish it off.They didn't need to though.I found out a month later that the dog had left a hole in the stairwell (made out of fibreglass).
