Yeah because you're filipino. Have you actually eaten dogs?
Dog, goat,snake, and probably monkey,no four legged cat. When I was in Belize, I ate the Royal Rat, Gibnut.

i seem to kill chit too....i hit a fox in my vw a few years back. it actually committed suicide. it ran across the ortega highway well in front of me so i slowed to about 55 and just as i got to where it ran across, it ran back across the other way directly in my path. no way to avoid it. it tore up my front end and left fender. i went back it it was dead. up close foxes are neat critters.

couple weeks later i hit a freakin' owl on the same stretch of the road. early morning, sun not up yet and it took off from a hill next to the road wings flapping and big as chit, bam! it bounced off my windshield. the glass didn't break and i looked in the rear view and saw it spinning a$$ over tea kettle and onto the ground, skidding. prolly didn't die but i didn't stop.

then in laguna beach, a car in front of me smacks a cat running across coast highway and i slam on the brakes and barely miss it. it was kinda alive, tongue out, in the middle of the road labored breathing so i just got out of the car and carried it to the curb. it died a few minutes later in my arms. that was odd because i got kind of emotional and i generally hate cats but mourned the death anyway. traffic was p'ed that i left my car across both lanes while the cat died.

memories.

well thats sucks for the dog, he didnt know better. i used to have a 95 altima and brag cause it was the only one around with a perfect body until a dog just ran full speed into the side of it and put a huge dent in my passenger side rear door. the dog was fine tho, did a backflip when it hit, got up and kept going!!

i hit a racoon like 3 weeks ago... it was right in the middle of where my car could go under it, but instead it ran at the last moment right into my tires passenger side and back tire

then someone scooped it up 2 days later...

dude if theres a dog in the middle of traffic, from where i live people will slow down... its called animal cruelty, and you will pay a big fine for that if a cop see's it. especially for not yielding in the first place..

I use to have a low rider mini truck, the squirrels in North Carolina would run out into the middle of the road then pancake so the car would miss, my truck sat to low, and I would hear a little "tunk" sound when they hit my front cross member. Possum and Racoons would get drug.

About 3 years ago, when i drove a VW GTi, i was driving on a highway at about 60 MPH. i heard a thud out of nowhere, and when i pulled over to see the damage, i noticed there was a dead bird laying on my sun deck. The bird flew into the car and the draft smacked him into the rear windshield, and ended his life. It was weird, the car only had 2 windows and im lucky the bird didnt come in through the drivers side window or i wouldve gotten smacked in the face by it.

PS: I have an after market grille on my tC and have found that the best way to put the lower grille back in was to remove all the splash guards underneath the front end. That way you can easily access the grille and make sure all your clips are in tight. Takes 10 minutes but makes the grille install much easier.

you kill bugs everyday and yet for some reason you weep over a dog. i wonder what are you going to do when you run over an elephant one day.

oh man .. roadkill stories. I havent actually run over any animals myself. I dodged a turtle yesterday and about 3-4 open carcasses over the weekend (one of which had spilled out, the gf didnt appreciate my stopping bringing that to her attention).
