The Official "I can't believe I hit that" post
Yup yup, it's the official I can't believe I hit that post. Lets hear those crazy stories about hitting animals, trees, walls, and whatever else crazy crap you've hit. I hit a rabbit and I could hear its skull banging underneath my car. Ouch!!

HAHAHA. now thats more the kind of posts i was expecting to see!! anyway. i was driving along one day when a bird flew in front of my car, and very low to the ground. when i didn't see it fly out anywhere, or see any feathers for that matter, i began to wonder. when i got home i looked at the front of my car and, despite the loss of the birds life, i couldn't stop laughing. it had wedged itself in between the fog light and fascia of my talon. it was reeeeally stuck in there too. i had to pry it out with a stick!! if i had had a camera at the time i would have taken some shots.

i was following my friend home one night, he in his jetta, me in my 92 loyale. we were going about 80 on a back road, when i see two huge racoons come running out of the shubs on the road side. i was far enough behind not to worry about it. but the jetta never even hit the brakes. well needless to say the 'coon was squashed. when we got home i got out of my car laughing, and he was asked me what was so funny. i said "you destroyed that 'coon!!" his reply was " i hit something???"

i hit a small fox going ab out 75 mph on a loooooong stretch of back road, i only felt a small bump, my friend becky screamed " OH MY GOD YOU HIT A FOX!!!!!" and nearly started crying, we went back to see what we did to it and strangely she started laughing.....the poor fox was split right in two.....nasty scene..
the first day i got my license, i ran over a dead deer during the middle of the night. i couldn't avoid it b/c it was hella dark and i couldn't see it until i was about 10 ft infront of it, plus a car was coming in the other direction so i couldn't swerve into the other lane to avoid the deer. after i hit the deer, my car had this nasty *** stench that lingered for a week.

I had my car for sale, I'd washed & waxed it to a T, & placed the adds. Driving into work about 65mph on a 94F day in July; when the biggest %$&^# Guinea Hen I ever saw ran in front of me. Couldn't swerve because of oncoming traffic. The GH bounced off my front bumper; hitting my windshield and exploding like a gut bag from a cheap teen slasher flick. All I could see was intestines, blood, other unidentifiable internal organs, and feathers. My panic reaction to the loss of visibility was to slap on the windshield wipers. BAD PLAN! Now its ALL OF THE ABOVE and it's REALLY SMEARED BAD! The force of the wind as I drove, blew the putrid messy carcass off the windshield across the roof, across the back window and onto the rear spoiler; where it hung up momentarily before blowing off into the road. I pulled off the road, checked and was relieved to see the only damage appeared to be cosmetic and olfactory in nature. As I was in BF nowhere-I drove the remaining 8 miles to the next small town; allowing the stinking bloody remains to thoroughly bake onto my newly waxed car. $8.00 later (we're talking 1983 here, car washes were only .50) I had the mess cleaned off, and was glad to see no damage! Whew!

Hit a bat!
I was driving on some back roads late at night in my Frontier on my way home from school. I didn't see the bat when I hit it, but later that weekend I popped the hood to do some work on my truck. The bat was pinned against the front of my radiator, sprawled out in this ridiculous jumping-jack pose. It was completely dehydrated. I peeled it from the radiator with pliers and the whole thing was crispy. I guess the heat from the radiator fins and the passing air dried the thing out pretty quick.

i was driving through my neighborhood towards school one morning and i spot a dog run right in front of me. so i slam on the brakes but too late. the dog tumbles under my car yelping and luckily he runs off. (i was driving a minivan) so i look over to the left when my car came to a stop and see some kids staring at me and not knowing what to say i go... "uh... was that your dog?" and they were like "uh... yeah" and then their mom comes out and finds out what happens and she feckin FLIPS OUT at the KIDS! she started yelling at them and cussing and all and tells the kids to go find the dog and she just gets into her car and screeches away leaving the kids there. i felt so bad for them and i asked if i could help and they were like "no it's ok she's always like this" pretty eventful way to start off the day

Last year driving across Canada I was in Alberta in the middle of the night (long flat stretch of road) doing about 130km/h a coyote jumped out in front of me. I had no time to even hit the brakes, it exploded on my front bumper. I got out to see the damaged, it had cracked my bumper and shattered my fog light, needless to say it was very dead. Luckily it was short enough that it didn't come up over the hood. I didn't even notice until the next gas stop that my license plate was gone too. So somewhere out there was a mashed coyote with a tatooed plate in his side.
First I felt bad for killing it, then I was just pissed it had caused so much damage.

How about this. I hit the curve and started driving on the sidewalk with my 87 accord. It was embarrassing because i was waving at my friends when i hit the side walk and started driving on it. I was like dam, they saw that ****. They told me they were like holy **** he got into an accident.

I almost hit a turkey. And this is very odd, because i live in the middle of rich suburbia. Driving home from school; get into my neighborhood, and a turkey runs out in front of the minivan (before i got my moms m3). I honked and broke and it basically stopped in the middle of the road. I stopped right in front of it; honked, revved, and it just sat there. So my friend got out and walks toward it and it ran off. Ive never seen a turkey near here since. Wierd ****.
