Yeah, about two months after I got my tC, I was on my way home one night, and I come around a curve doing about 40, and theres a deer in the middle of the road. So, i figured, hell, I'll go around it. NOPE, bad idea, as I go to the left to go around the deer, what does it do, it bolts in the same direction. Then *boom* I hear a loud thud, and I slammed on brakes. I got out and saw that my lower grille was knocked out and my hood was bent. I was liek DAMMIT , the deer got up and ran off right after I hit it. I wanted to chase it down and kick its a$$ for hurtin my baby, . Needless to say, the tC is a pretty damned strong car.

 

That vid is awesome!

 

I hit a porcupine...stuck to the tire, and not wanting to plug the holes, I just left it there. The beast is flat now, but the tire still holds air. The handling is kinda slippy when I turn hard on that side, but it's cool cuz the tire will last longer. I hope they don't get bent when I have the tires rotated.

 

lmao i hope you are kiddin about the porcupine????

 

ewww

 

How old are u people on here 15? must be a NON Ny thing, to think Death of any form is funny

 

you must not be from the city lol

 

hahahahahaha these roadkill stories are quite entertaining

 

Yea, People in NY Think Death is funny, Esp When plains fly into buildings down town, and u watch a few hundread people Jump from 60 floors up, And then watch your Friends and family be killed in Falling building's. SOO funny.

i dont find death in any living form funny.

I think most people "Pretend" its funny to seem cool, like follow the leader sydrome

odd.

 

hands downt he best road kill story i have ever heard....

my buddy is driving down the highway at ~70mph. my area has a ridiculous amount of deer so seeing them on the side of the road is nearly as common as missing hubcaps. well one runs across 3 lanes of traffic...nearly to the median, then it turns around and runs back to the woods!!! runs right into the drives side of my friends civic h/b. the deer goes under the front wheel. some how the backend ends up inside the car (front window was down and shattered the rear glass) the thing craps all over the inside of the car!!! blood and deer crap everywhere! nearly every body panel on the drives side was repalced along with the interior. the deer eneded up in 4 peices (2 where inside the car) lucky no one got hurt...but man oh man was it funny

 

I don't think the joke is about the poor animal dying. I think the joke is about misfortune and people making light of a mishap, like taking a wrong turn, or having a funny accident story.

Comparing the lives of humans during 9-11 to roadkill, now THAT'S not funny!

That's like PeTA comparing the holocaust to cows on farms, that's just distasteful and a discgrace.

 

i ran over a bird ones. looked back and saw feathers flyin everywhere... that damn bird wouldnt go and fly, so yeah i guess he/she was tryin to commit suicide.

 

Roll over rover...now sit and play dead. good dog.

 

my last dog fell victim to a hit and run about 2 years ago

the only animal's life ive claimed was a squirel. i thought i t was impossible to hit those thigns they are so quick. so i was driving through my neighboorhood and he was in the road and im like ok hes gonna move. he juked left, he juked right and then he just stopped. i went over hit, looked back, and he was nothing but a pancake in the road.

 

Odd, as I live in metropolized Southern California, but it would seem that I've run over more critters than damn near everybody here combined. Though the tC's karma remains clean, my past cars have claimed

2 dogs
1 pigeon
1 owl
1 snake of some sort, which fell from the sky, right on to my windshield
2 squirrels
1 skunk
several rabbits
too many opossums to count.

The only ones I've ever swerved for are the stinkcats. Dead skunk on the car doesn't go away for a long time, and lying on the ground, pressure washing Simple Green across the underbody isn't my idea of a holiday.

IMO, the only time you should be wracked with sorrow about roadkilling is if you knew the animal personally. Otherwise, it's just another dog/cat/rabbit/etc., and the place is practically teeming with them. So the next time you plow a dog into a meatrug, don't blame yourself-- blame the owner for being careless and insenstive.

 

Yeah, I'm from Torrance, and used to see skunks and raccoons all the damn time. They come from the hills in Palos Verdes, Malibu, etc. They even got cougars down in OC.... damn I miss SoCal, sometimes.

 

Hit a cat once going 80. It bounced of the bottom of the car then the concrete. i looked back in the rear mirror and it fell from the sky. Bounced right off the pavement and shot about 12 feet into the air. Good time.

 

Another funny one. While I was attending the University of Georgia a friend of mine, who is a pet lover, and vet tech ran into an owl with her jeep cherokee. It got stuck in the grill. When she arrived at her appt complex a group of good old boys offered to buy the bird from her so they could mount it.
