No, you deserved broken fog light brackets for hitting the rabbit. Selfish...arghhhh...

I just want to reiterate what gh0st shad0w said. Don't beat yourself up over it, it was just a really bad example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time (for you and Suki). Deaths of pets are horrible, and I can't even imagine how you feel, but there was nothing you could do.

Bummer dude!

Squirrels, birds, rabbits, gophers, and bats have all been victims of my WRX, it seems to be a killing machine for the first day I got it, but I have yet to harm any domestic animals, I'd really feel like crap if that happened.

That's also one of the reasons Milo is exclusivly an indoor kitty, if it weren't me- some other hoodlum in this 'hood would run him down in no time, either that or a racoon would rip him to shreds.

I'm sure my son has some friends up here that are still in 'jail'. The Humane Society up here has a great selection of cats, and they are housed in these awesome habitats. So far the count is:

Moles: 6
Birds: 1
Mouse: 1

Best investment of time, energy and love!!

we talked about the replacement thing while we were out looking at animals and for a couple reasons decided against it. For one, there were no cats nearly as pretty or as lovey as she was at any of the 5 places we went. And two, cause it's just not right.

The cool thing is...her and her sister weren't fixed. And we have one boy cat that's not fixed. We're kind of hoping that Suki's sister Saki is pregnant. If she is, I've decided that I am going to keep one for myself. First cat I will have owned for myself. I've had a few dogs but never a cat.

If she is, I'll post on here if any of you are interested. When I say these are beautiful cats I mean it. Just awesome long hairs. Suki was all black with green eyes. Saki is like a long haired...ah what do you call it when they have like orange/black spots all over them....pretty.

It sucks..this morning really sucked for me. I usually stay at my girls house for the weekends and when I go to work Monday morning Suki and Saki are always right there....the rest of the cats kinds do their own thing most of the time... suki comes up to the wall...which is chest height and waits for me to come pet her while my car defogs....she wasn't there.

Back in MSF course... instructor said, as long as it is a medium sized dog or smaller HIT it like it never existed on the road. It is not worth getting into an accident with another car because of the animal is hoping to get its Darwin's award.

I thought you were on crack when you told me it made a big difference. Holy crap. HUGE difference. Very surprised considering it's just a sedan bar. I might just keep it and leave it. we'll see after the new stuff goes on. I'm thinking of putting the endlinks on some night this week.

If you want a hand doing those mounts on your car let me know.

yeah..you were only like what....an hour late to meet your girl? I was like....5 late..haaa. She's over it. She'll be over tonight...if you and yours are free we should get dinner. drop me a line.

Once you get stiffer suspension it might appear weak and you'd need a 22 bar on there. That's what happened to me. I'm about to install those mounts in just a minute. We'll see how it goes.

My girl gets off work at 6. I'll ask her if she wants to and get back to you man.
