Sorry bout your tc: i agree with the others though.
At least you didnt mangle a squirrel in front of a park, where some little kids were waiting to cross the road. Then the squirrel comes out thump* thump* and the look of kids faces. Priceless.

Never swerve unless it looks big enough to win the fight. I've hit skunks, possums, birds, rabbits, snakes, you name it. The guy who believes in karma has got some nasty surprises in store for him.
I'm not damaging my car for vermin. Hell, if that same vermin was trying to knock over my trash can, I'd put a few rounds into it-- and it wouldn't be the first time.
Brilliant storytelling.

my mother is a insurance adjuster, and has always told me and my brothers to just hit the animals. dont brake or anything....a mojrity of the time it ends worse off then if the person would have just hit the animal.

wow, this was certaining an unexpected thread. very graphically and humorous.
anyway, my 2 cents to add to this: hit the damn thing if it looks like it'll fit under the car. i.e. squirrels, birds, etc. i would, however, slow or stop for larging things like cats and dogs.
its interesting to point out that your mom is an insurance adjuster and even she agrees to just hit it.

a bird hit my friend's windshield, but not head on. i think she clipped it as it flew by. heard a loud *thunk and a blood smear for about 150 miles until we got home.... but it didn't crack tho 
oh, just another bit of info to add. my uncle taught me how to drive, and the one tip i remember most that he gave me was "its a lot safer to run over a bird than to hit another car by swerving" since i learn to drive in nyc. anyway, i think i will be teaching my kids that same lesson. i proved that lesson correct once already.

If you can paint the side of your car with blood is 3 points, guts are 4 points, and a skull lodged in the wheel is 5 points.
Now you could have had a grand score of 52 points, but some factors take away.
Risking the damage to a 1 year old or less vehicle is -5 points
Killing on God's Day(Sunday) is -10 points
That would have brought your total back down to 37 points, which is still a very respectable level. However, I'm not sure that you're a high enough level driver to get that score since you wrecked your car dodging....rookie!

I hit a bird on the way to the airport today. I'll take pics when I get back. I got bonus points for decapitating the bird and keeping it's head in my grille. I'll need to check for blood splatter and feathers.
