I smoked that one goin 90 HAHA

[rJ floW]

OK so i work nights (430pm-2am) which is why im usually on at rediculous 3:30am hours.....

but last night on my way home, i was goin 90 (km/h) and i saw two cats on my side of the road, basically staring at eachother....now im no pet lover, nor do i go outta my way to hit animals, as i have a tiny car and you never know how much damage it will do....

since it was 2:30am NO ONE was on the road, and its a relatively desserted road to begin with, so i drive on the other side of the road, and i said to myself "dont be dumb, cat, and try and get across the road" and as soon as i said that, it looked at me, when i was like 5 feet away and tried to get across my car....

OH my god did i ever smoke it LOL i dont think ive ever felt an animal bang against the underside of a car like that LOL it probably bounced like 4 times. I didn't slow down nor feel sympathy cause animals are rediculous in situations like those...i, in fact, chuckled a little bit, AHHAH AHA.

So have you ever hit anything in your car? and if so, did you try to? did it run infront of you? and have you ever damaged your car doing so??

and just for all those worried, no, my car was fine

OK, being an animal lover, I have to say that is one of the sickest things i've read. Of course people run over animals in cars by accident. Its almost inetavable, especially at night. It really does disgust me, though, when people brag and/or find humour out of killing an animal. I believe that life is precious. Accidents DO happen, but making a statement ofi, saying "lol" and joking about killing a living thing in a car really does piss me off.

How you find humour out of it is really disgusting.It reminds me of those stupid little year 10 boys who salted the ecoschools trout pond at school. The same boys who were going to kill the lizards in the school sanctuary. The boys who talk about shooting animals with rifles and laughing about it. Accident or no accident, killing an animal is no laughing matter.

Yes I am an environmentalist before you ask.

Whoa. rJ. Looks like you hit someone's nerve...whoops...heh. : ) (I'm actually giggling a little, because its you, and thats what you do.... ah, good ol' days )

At first I was repulsed when I read this, but then I got to thinking about the stupid thing aminals do when it comes to roads...

Scene 1: It was like that damn Geico commercial (hope you've all heard of it) the one with the squirrels...one runs in front of a car, and he car swerves and wrecks and the squirrel gives another squirrel on the other side of the road a high five. Yeah. it was like that. Except I won. and the poor widdle squirrel died. I cried all the way to school...but now that I look back at it the stupid thing should have known I was coming.

Scene 2: Toyota + Quail + 70 mph = burst of feathers and a loud thump. Still cried all the way to school...

Maybe I should quit speeding??? Nope.

Then there was the time I didn't hit an aminal but I told it I would if it came ANYWHERE near my car. I was driving to my mum's house in the middle of the wild and crazy nowhere. I saw a cougar/mountain lion/puma/big huge aminal. It wasn't close to the road when I first saw it, but it was walking towards it. Now, I was driving my new car. My new shiny Honda, Ace. I love her, and would never intentionally hurt her, because we have a special bond, but I would have hit this cougar. And then kept running over it until it was dead, no matter how much damage it did to my car. *shudder* Me no likey those damn cougars.

I haven't hit anything yet in my new car. I guess I'm a real baby when it comes to my car and in anyway damaging it. I *heart* my Ace-car.

loves. Selphs.

hahaha I've seen way too many dead deer up by school. They're really stupid animals to be honest. They see their dead friends along the road, and go out onto the highways... when they have an entire forest right next to them.

On a side note, I hit a squirrel during my road test. Dunno if I killed it, but something went thud. Oddly enough it wasnt there when I drove back.

[Taco]

La la la. I've never actually hit any animals while I was driving, but I've been in the car for plenty of animal incidents.

First one I remember, my sister, some friends and I were driving back from the Oregon coast, when two deer are walking across the road. One gets out of the way, while the other is jumping out of the way, and its ass meets the right head light. We saw it run away, half limping, into the underbrush. There was ass hair on the front of my sister's car for a long time afterwards, and some deer poop. Along with a dent.

Another time, my brother and I were driving up I-5, around Medford OR, from California. This bird came flying into the upper left corner of the windshield, and hit it with a loud smack. Right into it. What a dumb-ass bird.

There was also another time when I was riding with my parents down the end of our street. This person on a motorcycle was riding all over the place, and this dog was running after him. Well, my parents slowed down by a corner, because they knew the motorcyclist was coming. He came around, and they were inching along, when the dog came running out and hit the grill of their car, rolled up the hood, then rolled back down and ran away. Basically, the stupid dog ran into our car, not the other way around. Also, the dog's owner was an asshole and an idiot, but I won't get into that.

La la la. Animals are stupid sometimes, but it's sad when they die, especially if it's someone's pet. I'd be sad if I hit a kitty That's just me, though.

Wuv, Yer Mom

I laughed out loud for like 5 minutes when I read that...why? because I'm pretty sure Oregon deer are the dumbest around. Like they go to stupid school or something. They run alongside your car on the road looking dumb. Or just sit on the side of the road looking at you with thier stupid deer face, half daring you to drive past them....GAH! stupid deer, and stupid living out in the country with stupid Oregon deer everywhere....

Yes I am an panzy before you ask.

You do realize that as a result of nature's integration with mankind's progress (if you can't beat em, work around em) a lot of animals will jump infront of a car in order to end their own lives?

Also, the fact that he went OUT OF HIS WAY to NOT hit the cat should cancel out the whole "he meant to kill the cat, he's so horrible" thing.

Hell, laughing at the irony of it is the best thing of all. He went to the left to not hit the cat that was in the right, so it went to the left and got hit. If he would have stayed on the right, the cat would have gone to the left. Hilarious.

Besides, god forbid he doesn't beat himself up with guilt because a STUPID animal jumped infront of his car. I mean, all these animal lovers are up in arms.... a lot of animals are just STUPID. And while i'm sure your pet is the smartest thing ever, not all animals are. Like people.

EDIT: Oh my god, I can't believe I forgot this story.

So I was driving home on the interstate from a concert with my ex-girlfriend and her brother. For those of you who are concerned, we are still friends. The brother, I mean.

Anyway. So we're in a Geo Metro. If you've ever driven, ridden, sat, or looked at a Geo Metro, you know that if you get in a wreck, you're ****ed.

So it's dark. Three deer come out of nowhere. Jesse dodges the first two (he's awesome) but the third one ****ing jumps INTO the car. Hit the drivers side mirror which then knocked the mirror into the window, which sprayed glass everywhere. Jesse tosses it into Neutral, spins it once and we end up in a ditch. Well, not so much a ditch, but a slope that was on either side of the road.

Two black guys stopped and asked us if we were okay. They were bikers. I thought their leather pants were cute.

So ever since then.... I hate deer. Like if I saw some deer, I would talk shit. And then I would punch one out.

Moral of the Story: **** Deer.

[Sean]

LMFAO


While I was at the lake, a friend forgot her MP3 player at the movie theater, which was a good 20 minutes away.

We took William's van (he drove us all to the lake) and I drove her back to the theater in this big 15 passanger church van. Coming back into the state park, I see a sparkle, then some fur, then I hit the brakes as my friend screams.

Then I hear a thud thud and roll to a stop.

I ran over a racoon with both driver's side wheels. It, literally, ran RIGHT into me.


Deer in the park aren't that stupid. They see headlights and bolt the other direction.


Two days later William ran over a squirrel. It was in the middle of the road, didn't move, then he went over it with it between the wheels, as to not hurt if because he didn't think it would move. Yeah, it tried to. He hit it with the back tire.





On topic of the "going 90" thing, whenever I have to go into work at 4:30 AM (Every time there's a noon game) I go into work 120-130ish. Yesterday I hit 137, fastest I've ever moved. >.>;;

[Lover Boy]

I run about that fast. If i'm tired.

[Sasquatch]

Anyway.

A similar thing happened to me, for the only animal that I've hit in my nearly five years of driving. A fox.

Driving down the road, naturally, at night. Good 68 mph or so. See eyes in my lane, slow down. Get closer, see fox, slow down more, move over to middle of the road. Fox follows. Slow down more (by this time I'm going about 25 or 30), move over more -- fox follows. I try to swerve back into my lane to miss the idiot fox, but he still follows, and I smack 'im with both tires.

Usually, though, I go out of my way to avoid hitting animals. Not that I give a damn about the animals, I just don't want to mess up my truck. And I guess I might be a little sad if I hit something.

[OnOneRyder]

I've only hit a cat before. It was late in a narrow road while raining so like hell I'm gonna risk tearing the side off my car for some cat. I hit the thing even though I did attempt to break. Sadly the thing wasn't dead but he was still trying to get away with what strength he had left. I just stood on his neck for a few seconds and it was over for him. Best way I could've ended it for him at the time I think. Not a chance in hell I was gonna put some bleeding cat in my car only to have the vet put it down.

[D_SINNER]

Well I was coming back from work one day, it was actually a night flight I was working, anyway, driving home at around half past 5 in the morning. At that time, all the traffic would be going the other way, so I was really flooring it.
Lo and behold, this damned fox jumps out in front of my Land Rover just at the very last second, literally no chance to avoid hitting the thing. The only damage done was to my ego cos I had to clean up my Land Rover after that splat. Very strong resistant automobile, this one time in rain, some idiot in a Peugeot minivan skid over from the other lane, and sorta clipped me on the front. Damage done to my Landie: Slightly bent front towbar. Peugeot: Write-off
