I wonder what strange things we've hit on the road ? horses, cows, dears, anything.
For example, I killed a dear once over the 83 in Texas, I came out of a curve and it was just there standing in the middle. I also hit an eagle once ! I can't believe I did that, I mean the eagle just didn't move, both were in the middle of the road (dear and eagle)!!!! I didn't have a chance to stop. In a mexican road I hit a dog it was in the middle of nowhere ! I will try to remember what strange things I've hit during my road trips !

So, what have you people hit in the road ?

 

Around here.. at least 1-2 deer are killed per day by cars. There are so many around you can't drive without seeing several - no matter what time of year it is. I have been fortunate not to have hit one myself. I've hit a raccoon and a squirrel once. I'll usually try to slow down to let em' pass but sometimes they run out a little too late.

I like hitting soda cans.. they're fun to aim for.

 

oh, that is a long list man, deer, turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, possums, dogs, cats, little birds, big birds, and a bobcat, i think thats all of it.

West Philly Potholes large enough to devour a whole car. The kind where you actually say "ouch!" for your car because it sounded so bad when you hit it.

 

Lots of bugs. I hit a bird once. He bounced off my windsheild and kept on going. Another time not long ago, I found myself not paying attention and ran over a dead possum.

 

LOL =D I've found a lot of holes here in Mexico, BTW I'm mexican, that explains my bad english !

 

I hit the bars once in awhile,especially in the summer when
IM out a lot.

 

In Florida, I hit a parrot, it dropped right behind the truck and this ricered out camaro behind me picked it up with the front ground effects, just an explosion of green feathers. Another time in Connecticut, I hit a seagull. I was driving along by the shoreand the bird was kind of floating on the breezeover the road just a little slower than I was going. It hit just at the bottom of the windsheild and slowly slid up and over the top. It took me a while to wash it "call sign" off the truck, the wipers couldn't even take care of it.

 

Traversing across the great state of Texas for various FFA events I've managed to hit one rabbit, one skunk, an armadillo and and rolled a bird up the windshield and whatched it drop behind us.

 

I hit a Seagull once. Someone had dumped some fries just off the off ramp to 17 S. There was a swarm of them, dodging in and out of traffic, and the one I hit didn't dodge fast enough Hit him on the front bumper, went under the truck, bouncing around. Must have got caught in the drive train at some point, becuase the mess that came out the back didn't resemble what went under Nasty [rated "R"] birds. . .

 

best thing I ever ran over was an almost complete truck tire tread, stratled it, and the idiot that was tail-gating me had black marks on his hood and roof.

 

What does everyone swerve to hit with their trucks, I try and hit squirrals. I dont recomend it though.
Hope PETA isnt listening.

 

I hit a Fairmont once, but the SOB was driving on the wrong side of the road. Totalled my van, tore up my back and he got to drive his hoopty home. Then I sued his butt.

Hit a cat once too, but we settled out of court.

 

PETA kills more animals than you could ever kill with your truck. They've got a shelter back east that kills over 80% of the animals they get.

Dosnt PETA stand for "people eating tasty animals"?
