Road Kill Thread (not for weak stomaches)

Possum stew!

[trashed]

Towing a huge rock wall to MD around 2AM for work a few years back we ran over a bloated deer in the middle of the lane on the interstate. Part of it got wedged around the exhaust, which immediately began to burn, while the rest splattered and stuck to the rock wall. Let it sit overnight at the hotel thinking it wasn't too bad. Worst. cleaning. experience. ever.

Warring its sad....

I hit a doverman once. Total effed the whole front end of my car. I was doing about 40 and it ran out in front of me. The worse part I had my kids with me.

And Prick of the year goes too.......

Dickhead.

umad?

another story, was driving along one day and a indian minor bird flew out and landed on the road about 10m in front of me right where my wheel was, needless to say i attempted to fly off but didnt get anywhere. i heard it crunch and squash every bone in its body.

Rabbits...I kill'em pretty much once every month in my neck of the woods.
Reason why my last lip was cracked...

[hinrichs]

i always swerve to avoid anything living in the road, or slow down at least....usually only a lot of squirels near my house

but a few days ago i was comming to a stop sign and nailed a bird going like 20mph

other than that only ever hit a dead squirel with my old gti and the lip scooped it up somehow and it flew onto my windsheild then over the car

Dont get me wrong. You have to hit something thats fine. But swerving just TO hit something.. Thats just bring a douche bag and a fucking idiot.

[tstacks]

at least you don't have porcupines.

my road kill tally is
1 little bird decided to suicide fly in front of my car and got caught straight under the front wheel, didn't even make a thud just road noised stopped for a moment as i ran over it
had one magpie bounce across my bonnet and windscreen
1 rabbit ran out onto the road when i was going through the hills went straight under the front wheel

then next size up are some fair big animals
i've hit 2 wombats on the same mountain stretch probably within like 200m of each other a couple months apart though
one i plowed with my front bar and dragged it along, it left scratch marks in the asphalt with its claws and left teeth marks in my front bar
the other wombat i hit with enough force to push the front bar into my guard, kink the guard and then have the wombat go under the front wheel and i could just feel as the floor skidded across the wombat until the rear wheel hit it and it came out the other side
i still had the inner guard lining at that time so the wombat torn it out and was making a scraping noise as i tried to drive off after i checked to make sure my radiator and front bar were still in one piece

also had quite a few close calls, a few more wombats, about 2-3 kangaroos and a few deer, had a huge deer run along side my car in the hills once

needless to say with my track history of wombats i am now super paranoid in the hills at night

Any animal stupid enough to run in front of a car, well....they either get what's coming (literally) or get lucky.

I like your style. Those damn critters need to get learnt in a lesson of natural selection.

dead burning animal smell is bad.

i got a few stories, not all animals were killed.

first story is a duck, its partner was dead in the opposite lane of the road and it was just standing there, so naturally i move across and run it over. hit it at about 110km/h. it went thud and out the back was a huge explosion of feathers, my car was wet at the time so alot of them stuck to my car. now i dont know if anyone here has watched mr bean before where we drives his mini into the back of the mattress truck and the big poof of feathers comes out the back, but it looked like that.

next one, i had been getting the dead animal smell on and off for a few weeks, and i had to change the oil, so when i popped my bonnet i found a sparrow wedged head first between my radiator and radiator support panel, it bad been cooked real well, when i grabbed its legs with some pliers they just popped out of there sockets, so i had to pry it out with a screwdriver, when i got it out i found out that half its face had melted off.

i was test driving a nissan micra, when a baby rabbit ran onto the road, so i swerved and hit the cunts head at about 80km/h, and when i looked in my rear view mirror i seen it was on its side trying to run, but it was going in circles, like that episode of the simpsons where homer runs in circles on his side.

and last i was driving to work at 1am on the highway when a possum was walking across the road, so i swerved to run it over and nailed it it at 110km/h, heard a loud thud at the front of the car, then a 2nd one, right where my feet were on the floor, i actually felt the floor flex and move up. i couldnt see anything out the back as i went off. then when i was coming home from work in the day i wax expecting to see a dead possum on the side of the road, but nope, so im assuming it wouldve had the worst headache ever

What are you a fucking serial killer in the making? I don't know whats more disturbing, the stories or that fact that you think its totally normal.

Did you shove stray cats into microwaves as a kid too?

[Kielan]

Dont get me wrong. You have to hit something thats fine. But swerving just TO hit something.. Thats just bring a douche bag and a fucking idiot.

This, trying to kill an animal is fucked on multiple levels.

[Tuck&Poke]

We totally need a meme for this.

No pictures..

I'm a truck-driver.. and drive 200.000 km a year approx. !

Had a swan near Schiphol (airfield) on my front window.
Got stuck with his neck in my sunvisor..
Blood literally dripped down my window..

Run over a deer in Hungary with my trailer .. I could avoid him.. But he turned around and got caught under all 3 trailer-wheels..

Had multiple seagulls @ Rotterdam harbors in my grill/ headlights/ bumpers..

Had a wild pig hit my truck in south Germany (Schwarzwald ) I was sleeping and my co-driver was driving.. Half of my bumper/grill and headlights where crashed..

An hour ago a dove.. Which refused to leave the tarmac while I was driving 90km/h
Guts and feathers all over my mudflaps/tires etc.

Damn... I'm a serial killer... But not on purpose!

[P78]

if a dove doesn't move, it gets run over, i try to brake for all others tho
