A Dodge Intrepid while I had my '88 S-10 Blazer... And I don't know if you would consider it running over, I broke the rear window with the front axle.

Here's a new post!!
While driving past radar patrol on I-12 in Baton Rouge, large armadillo crossed from slow lane and deciding not to swerve within 100 ft of patrol car I slammed that pup and dreaded the damage when I would look!!
Well certainly hit the armored @#$!@#$ the xA suprised me with actual events. The curved black plastic under piece simply "buckled in" at point of impact and the lower grill opened up. W/open grill I just reached in and popped out lower plastic!! Quite un-noticable damage .......
Sorry no pics

We hit a deer back in the day in San Antonio, when we hit him he flew forward like 30 feet, then we hit him for the second time, totaled my mom's Corolla.

Not worst, but funniest...
So my friends and I were driving home at night and we see this dead possum in the road, these girls were holding a sign saying "Look out! Possum!" So we stopped and said, "Why the hell are you holding that sign?" They said "We think it might make it!" So naturally, I gunned it right over the possum corpse and yelled "I DON'T THINK SO!"
They were mortified, we thought it was hilarious... this was years ago, back when I had my Camry (never do that in the box, it would cause too much damage)
Now worst was the time that we were the 4th person to hit a deer. The third car must've finished it off so when I got there it was just a pool of blood and flesh... deer flesh burned on the catalytic converter is pretty much the worst smell ever... again, in the Camry.

Most birds fly away in time when i'm driving towards them, which is why i (and most people) don't slow down when i see them...
I was driving to work one morning and there was roadkill in the middle of the road surrounded by birds that were eating it. as I was nearing it, most of the birds, predictably, flew away. but as i was getting closer, maybe 30 feet, I noticed there was one really, REALLY big bird, must have been at least 100 pounds, that was directly in front of me, and it was going nowhere. my speed was 55 and it was prolly 20 feet away so I knew there was no way i was gonna stop in front of it. I might have tried going on the wrong side of the road if there was no opposing traffic, but there was... and I don't wanna describe what happened next, use your imagination... but I will say maybe it was a good idea i kept constant speed, 'cause it did make a little hop into the air at the last second, and I think if i slammed my brakes it would have been at windshield height by the time i got to it and crashed into my face or whatever.

On my way to the lake with a few friends and siblings, my sister wanted to drive "the Box" out to the lake, because she has never driven it before....well we get 4 miles away from the camping grounds...She was too busy looking @ the lake with us, and WHAM, it was either a baby cub, or a giant boar or something haha..anyway she hit the thing,, completely broke my bumper off, broke off the plastic underneath where the engine is, and from that, both fender protectors broke off and shredded from rubbing against my tires..and my DS headlight was dangling .all i found in the "debris" was a fog light cover..., had to ride home (42 miles & Daytime) with no bumper, and my headlight tied on with a rope...after that, my sis has never asked, or driven my box haha..

Worst thing I ran over was a traffic light pole that had fallen over in the street. Didn't see it in the rain, and the car went airborne enough that I had zero chance of recovery before hitting a parked van, four parked cars, and knocking askew a city street light post.

I hit a raccoon on the freeway doing about 75mph in my Mazda3. took out the fog light, most of the splash guards under the engine, ripped the front bumper from
the body, and bent the radiator in. I'd say it was about the size of a small dog, and it came right into my headlights at the last second, had no time to slow down.

I was following my friend last wednesday home, but we were in traffic constantly moving at 40. Theres this squashed dead dog, thats just lying there and since theres cars all around, everyones forced to go over it. I was high enough to go over the dog, but my exhaust hangs pretty low and dragged it for a while. Pretty gross sounding, I probably dragged it for 5 or so seconds until i flung it back.
Didn't have any damage, except in the morning my tire was flat and I could see the wires. I think thats just from not getting an aligment after being lowered though.
