The nice thing about a dodge is you can't tell that it's been wrecked.

I've hit many little critters. My biggest was a good 175lb doe. I was rounding a corner at night in my 'Yota and I saw her running from the other side of the road. Being in a corner, no ABS, and manual steering...I just kept my foot on the throttle.

I nailed her in the driver's side front fender. She knocked out my corner marker light, dented the fender, and broke the adjusters for the headlight. I was doing about 40 when I hit her. She pooped all over my door too



My best one...I hit a Vulchure while riding my motorcycle! I notice a huge bird in the middle of the road a hundred yards in front of me. I get a little closer and it flys off to the left. So I roll back on the throttle (it was maybe 50' away from me now), and as soon as I do, the danged thing does a 180 and heads straight for me! Stupid thing ends up smacking me in the chest and landing in my lap. It knocked the breath out of me! Damn vulchure is sitting in my lap flailing all over the place! I reach down, grab it by the neck and throw it off of me right before a sharp corner.


It sounds bad, but I really want to hit something in the Deuce just to see what will happen!
