Erm, prolly not what you're thinking (race).

Was dropping my sister off at her friend's at 6am, when outta nowhere this possum comes into the road. I tried to swerve, but ran over the sucker. My sister screamed and was pretty much left traumatized by the whole incident.

My initial reaction? I hope that little *****er didn't ***** up my car!

Good initial responce. Hitting stuff on the road is not only sad but man will it mess stuff up. I hit an opossum and it tore off my inner fender on the drivers side.

I wonder what running over a turtle would sound like. Anyway I almost hit a skunk, a duck, a flock of ducks, and a frog. My dad hit an owl about 2 weeks ago. He said that he was driving on the highway and it just flew out and hit the driver side mirror. there was no damage though.

I hit a bird flying the same direction as me on I-5 a couple of weeks ago. It hit the driver side of the bumper, flies WAAAY up in the air, then comes down and with a thud. I was sad, especially when I saw that it chipped the paint on my bumper. :(

MasterMan when I saw the pee**** I was like wtf could be pee****. Then I finished the post. Damn word filters. I bet hitting one of those would almost be pretty except for the whole dead bird/messed up car thing.

I remember this one time there was a squirrel sitting a few metersaway from me so I gun it and the thing started to run in front ofme. It kept looking back and then kept trying to decide whetherto turn left or right. Funniest sh*t I ever saw. I didn't run over itluckily. :)

Man I remember I was at a tire shop and they had this Cadilac with a rabbit in the grill. That thing was nasty as heck....to make matter worst the lady that owns the car had the rabbit there for a couple of days before she brought it to the shop.

I was driving my grandpa's 4Runner and there were the two chipmonks running back and forth on the side of the road. When I saw them I thought, "I just know they're gonna run out right in front of me." And they did. All I could so was listen for that little pop... fortunately one got away though.

And I was driving with my friends bro's GF in her car (Tiberon), and a rabbit ran into the street and ran right into the rim. 5 spoke rims + rabbits = don't mix.

sadly though, that's no laughing matter, these dang(stupid filters, this makes me sound backwoods) weirdos have what appears to be a freakin petting zoo in their yard complete with a few zebra and 4 one hump (whatever species) camels.

the fence sucks...
