What animals/objects have you run-over/hit....

The usual squirrels and birds, and one cat. Thing ran at full speed out of the bushes and under the truck. First time I have seen an animal run FROM a safe hiding place.

 

Between my former ride ('95 Wrangler) and my tacoma I think I've hit two birds, at least one squirrel, two groundhogs...and counting

Weirdest thing was I hit one of the squirrels and one of the groundhogs both within the same week before I even got my drivers license.

 

I've been lucky so far, haven't hit anything or anyone (knock on wood), but I have come very close to hitting animals. But I think I remember running over a snail in my drive way once. lol

I also remember when I was 10 I was ridding my bike and I was going fast on the sidewalk. And this huge @ss Cat ran out from underneath the car and I rolled over it with both tires, over the center portion of the body.
I'm not sure if it was okay, but it ran off so I guess it was fine. lol

 

Where I lived and worked in NY last year it wasn't much concern of what you might hit but rather what might hit you....

I was actually having the rear leaf TSB done to my truck, which was awesome that I got all new shocks in the front and an extra leaf in the back, and I was driving a toyota loaner car, a corolla sport to be exact. I have to say I was really surprised by how much fun that car was to drive but by the end of the third day I was certainly ready to be back in my taco.

So anyways I was driving to work, literally 3 hours before I was going to go return the loaner and pick up my truck, and as I entered town I looked down to make sure I was going the speed limit. Out of the corner of my eye I see a brown flash and BOOM!!

A friggin deer t-boned the corolla. It dented the fender panel, driver side door and broke the side mirror. And worst part is the deer didn't even die, in which case I would have had a freezer full of venison to get me through the winter, and the fact that it probably died slowly since I could see it limp off on 3 legs. Damage ended up being over 1 grand but I guess it was better the corolla than my truck.

Oh and I smoked a squirrel once but that was just natural selection in my mind. It darted out in the road and I swerved so that it was dead center below my truck and the damn thing tried to run out half way through.

 

i told my uncle to go but he said he felt bad and turned around and the guys took his dog and ran to his house to take it the the ER Vet

 

i have had birds run into me, and i still can't believe a seagull ran right into me last month......... no damage from him but it was loud and i thought there was some hood damage..

 

bambi

 

i'm in germany,i've run over a badger,skinned deer real rampant around this time of year w/ the fog and snow coming,a hawk,and for all intensive purposes suicidal rabbits the size of dogs here it's like they sit and wait then they jump poor thing ran him over without a bump in the stride of my tacoma,the foxes are brave they play with and the wild bores they are hefty pigs but not a match for a tak

 

My first Tacoma ('97 regular cab) ended up totalled after I hit a deer.

They are the dumbest, most unpredictable animals I've ever encountered. A whole bunch of them ran over the road and into the woods, and then 4 or 5 ran back onto the road right in front of me.

 

If that's true, then you shouldn't have passed in that situation. If you couldn't see what was in the lane over, then you were following too close. What if there was another vehicle or motorcycle coming in the other lane? Oh well, you wouldn't have time to stop?

 

Usually just women, children and old ladies in wheel chairs. But I do hit the occasional bird

 

Ive hit a Buck, a cat, and a hawk all at night.

 

Opossum. squirrels,
dog ran out in front of me from a behind a parked car,
Nails, boards (dump is on the way to work and all of the trucks travel the same hwy)
Some animals that were already dead and in the middle of the road hat that.
Bird has bounced off the windshield DA's. I had a bat in the radiator he was toasty.
Small trees
Curbs

 

VVVV this

cant exactly see a dead dear laying in the other lane when you are behind someone because they are on the ground... a motorcycle or vehicle you can see since they are up off the ground. From what it sounds like, he was either on a multi laned road or on the highway.

 

bump

 

wife hit a deer..

 

6 point buck... i got 35's so no damage to the tacoma

 

A Liger...bred for its skills in magic.

 

That's the most fucking hilarious thing I've ever seen!
