I work on a deactivated air force base, so there's lots of large, empty fields which breed lots of large, fast jackrabbits. I was driving to go pick up some lunch today, and this damn rabbit runs right out in front of me, freezes, looks right at my car... I swerve off the road (didn't want to have to clean it off) and have a little gravel fun at around 20mph.

About 2 years ago I was getting on teh freeway in my old RSX (very lowered) and a damn squirrel did the same thing. i had nowhere to go but over him, hear a thunk, and see the little f'er run off in my rearview. i looked at the car and there were a bunch of grey furs in my bumper lip.

call this thread gh3y if you want, i'm just trying to hit 1000 posts today.

 

you aimed for him and you know it !

 

lol. bill and ted style.

 

I ran over a cat in my old accord. It was pretty jacked up cuz it ran right in front of me so I swerved and ended up running over it's head. I got out and it looked like the cat had it's head buried in the gravel....

You want an avatar really bad.

 

I ran over a racoon on HWY4 out by byron. That's right... a racoon. Ran out in the middle of the road and swerving to avoid it on that road would have been downright unsafe. Luckily I was drving my pops lifted jeep. Even with the reinforced rocker panels, the thing put a dent the size of a softball just behind the front wheel. My dad was convinced I was actually offroading and hit a rock, untill he found a hanfull of racoon hair in the wheel well. ewwww!

You mean hitting animals is not an acceptable method of hunting?

 

for almost killing the bunny, but for.......


NICE pic!!

btw, I'm not a total angel either. Waaaay back in the day, my buddies and I were out in Palm Desert LATE at night. We were in a NEW but rented Maxima w/only 80 miles on the clock. My friend was driving and is an IDIOT.....decided to take us off roading and headed into the dunes chasing rabbits and other critters!

Besides that, it was pretty fun....that is, until my friend drove up over this HUGE dune that hid a 15-20ft drop on the other side!? The nose almost buried itself in the sand, but fortunately, we made it out okay. It could have REALLY been bad now that I think about it!

btw, when my friend returned the Maxima, it was LITERALLY smoking under the hood, the tires were COMPLETELY bald, and the car looked like it had been through Desert Storm!

i wish that was my car in that pic. just the first one that came up on g00gl3 search.

nah, i'd need a LOT of scooby snacks to get teh avatard.

i saw a guy run into a bear on hwy 50 up near tahoe. the bear won.

 

I know this person who was golfing one day and he sent the ball screaming off to the side and hit a bunny in the head and it died. Fell right over in front of him.






hmmmmmm, I wonder who it was?????

 

I thought you needed 1k posts 2 have an avatar. Guess I'm trippin.

Damn though...a bear?? Talk about owned.

hahahahahahahaha. a friend of mine almost hit a frog. his ball was in the rough, he lines up his shot, and all of a sudden we see this damn frog jump out from under the ball.

 

I almost hit a rabbit on Paseo Padre the other day coming back from UCKK, swerved and avoided the sucker.

 

hmmm... twisty roads :drool:
