they got to stop giving you chebbies i bet your running out of work trucks

 

Normally we got 3 box trucks and 1 van, NOW we're down to 2 box trucks and the van. The super told me they "MAY" total it,,,,,I hope not! It's only got 252,500 miles on it! They don't trade them in until 300,000 - 350,000 miles! Good ole $$$$$$$$ Bottom line!

 

I've lived in the country most of my life. Critters are simply a sometimes unavoidable road hazard out here. I've hit so many that I don't even keep track, though a few are memorable. My first was a dog, I was only 14 and joyriding in my sister's car (never told her!) and this little dog appeared out of nowhere and tried to take on the car, lost when it flung itself under the rear tire. Broke its back, the owners had to put it down. I felt terrible but they didn't blame me, they knew there was a leash law and the dog was a car chaser.

When I was about 19 I hit a fawn one night, broke its lag. My buddy who was with me adopted it and we splinted it, seemed be doing well and had gotten very tame, then was just dead one morning.

Hit a big doe with my old Nissan 200SX, it just came running up a hill next to the highway and appeared out of nowhere in the air in front of me. I was carrying so I dispatched it, figured it was better than trying to put it out of its misery with a tire iron...

I won't even mention the puppy I squashed...

Driving my Mustang one day along two-lane roads through the valley farmlands, the road was straight as an arrow and I could see for miles in all directions and no traffic so I cranked it up to about 100. Hit a bird, it went right through the grill and radiator fins, did no damage as it was practially vaporized, just shredded by the fins. Nothing left but feathers and goo.


I'm just glad I wasn't this guy:



(It would kinda suck to be the horse, too...)

 

willlllllburrrr dont push me in front of the car i wander what went throgh that guys head when he hit that

 

Hopefully it wasn't the horse...

 

poor Mr. ED

 

A horse is a horse of course, unless its in your front seat!.........

 

better than in the back seat,telling you how to drive

 

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Dead.

 

i wander if he went to the glue factory

 

Most likely, I dont think he would be "sticking around" in any other capacity!

 

willllburrr why did you sell me to the gluuue factory

 

Since we are on the subject of hitting critters, I once drove thru a area where the grasshoppers were so thick on the road, I decided to touch the brakes at 60mph. You guessed it,.............SSSLLLIIDDE!, grasshoppers are slick!

 

that must have been an ''i **** myself'' moment

 

Could have been ugly, once off the road you have your choice of barb wire, posts, heifers, or all of the above.
