well sad news folks i killed the easter bunny tonight comming off an off ramp practicing some GT4 like driving and the easter bunny ran out in front of me and i cliped em with the front wheel and the back did the rest. sorry to say didnt sound fun for him. i do feel bad as this is the first thing i ever killed driving(other than bugs). i have come close but never felt or heard something like this.
i guess the pony got the best of that bunny. (bad joke)
You ever hear that joke about "CougarCoupe88 who ruined Easter".
Just another bad joke.
Few years ago i was on the parkway and hit a bat, it was summer and getting dark and it hit me right in the middle of my windshield. It scared the living sh$t out of me cause i didn’t see it coming. It left a grease mark like someone put there greasy forehead on my window.
talking about killing things........ in 1998 i too killed the easter bunny on easter morning on the way to church with my 3 year old in the car..... i lived on 45 acres in the "back woods" and my driveway was a mile long 2 rut road going around a peachfield.... as we were going around a turn, my so goes "daddy... easter bunny" and sure enough the rabbit darted from the peach trees, right in front of the car and bam....... thumper thumped no more.... and all this while a 3 year old was watching...... thanks dad!!!!
nice to see i'm not the only easter bunny killer....
on another note, i used to be a long-haul truck driver, and one of my fellow drivershiznit an owl in oregon..... it went through the passenger window, half way, and hung motionless dripping blood on his dashboard..... i didn't see it happen, but man i saw the pictures...... needless to say, he threw away that pair of underwear!!!!
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
I got a bunny once. I had just gotten my learners permit and I was out driving with my mom in her Malibu. This bunny darted out from the weeds and gave me not even a second to react. As I felt the thump thump, I felt sooo bad.
I also got hit in the windshield by a bat, junst like Innes. Anyone ever duck when they see something coming at them? That thing scared me to no end. You know, it's dark and then all of the sudden, I catch the stupid thing in my line of site and BAM!
I've hit numerous birds too. Ever have them just fly across the road infront of you? I smacked one on my way to work one day. I didn't know that as light as birds are, they could make such a loud thud.
lets see hit a bird at 80 that was interesting. hit one at 100 even more interesting sinnce there was nothing left the bird hits were in moms 01 regal. and i ran over a wood chuck in my 88 cougar and that made the entire dash shake!! so ive had my fair shair of road kills.
I got a squirrel in my TC.
sheeee-IT! Birds and raggits ain't ola to a big-assed buck deer...
Like the one that tore the front end off of my first '88...
Had such an impact that it literally flipped the hood up into the glass...
I was only going 35 down my gravel road, and yes, I killed Bambi with that one...
I've also hit quite a few birds in the wife's 89 Tbird..as it's light blue in color, wonder if they couldn't see it against the road?
Every year, i usually clip around a dozen rabbits and squirrels, too
But nothing makes as big a thump as a big ole fat greasy racpuppies when ya run over one, and it takes out your exhaust...on a side note, after knocking most of the exhaust on my dodge aries wagon:yuck: , it did run better:hick:
A dozen rabbits and squirrels per year?!
Are you sure you're not aiming for them?:rollin:
sounds like a plan... dam small furry animals:rollin:
I dunno how you guyshiznit rabbits, all I ever see in the road here are groundhogs, possums, deer, and the occasional racpuppies. Also, for some reason after it rains during spring/summer, all these toads come out and cross the roads (I guess to get to the creek) but they are very slow and a lot of them get run over.
When I had my mustang, a bird flew across the front of the car once and hit my radio antenna. Talk about bad luck on the part of the bird!
I ran over an elk at 130mph.
Didn't even feel it.
well glad to know im not the only easter bunny killer.....sucks with the kids but funny. well i guess these things think they are faster than machines . guess again
You know, it is a really interesting thing when you think about it. When you think of something as small as a rabbit, and then you think of how little area your tires take up on the ground, the timing has to be perfect for the two to collide.
I hit an armadillo in a 76 transam i once owned.Tried to dodge it and hit it with the tires.Probably doing about 70mph down a Texas highway.I think the bird flew a few feet off the ground.

one day I pulled into the school parking lot and all the guys started staring at my grill in my truck. There was a big ass bird stuck in there dead.
Once I was watching a qualifying session for
NASCAR (Not Actually Stock Cars, Ass-clown Rednecks!) and ole Mikey Waltrip hit a gull at about 180 or so, looked like an explosion, caved in the front of the car he was driving...
Nah, I don't aim for the little furry bastids, they're just thick here.
Guess it's what comes from living in the middle of nowhere :hick:
:laughing:
I saw that! I couldn't believe the damage that thing did. I was laughing so hard I nearly fell off the couch.
I was out on the Susquehanna River fishing and watched a seagull get taken out by a train.
It exploded. Parts of it flew all over the place and there was a slow fall of all it's feathers.
I was sitting at a stop light and had a squirrel run into the side of my Buick, fall down, and run away in the opposite direction :giggle: .
I was watching the speed channel one day (im into rally racing) and there was a focus that was airborne and cought a crow in the roof scoop.
One day coming home from work i was doing about 70 down jackman and split the difference with a squirrel and the stupid sob, must have ran right in front of my back tire.
Once on the way to a friends house, out on the outskirts of town, I watched a squirrel start to head across the road, turn to head back, change it's mind and decide to go for it, go under one car, get hit by the one behind it, fly up in the air and smack into my windshield. I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. As for deer, I aim for those s.o.b's. I've even gotten outta a friends car and chased them down. I swear those things have group meetings in a feild near my friends house, plotting over who's car to jump out in front of next.
why would you aim for deer. they can do major damage to a car. unless your going after them with super truck or something.
Sounds like my buddy and his big ol ram. Heshiznit 6 of them so far this year, of course it helps having a bull bar I guess.
Oh, I forgot this one:
About 3 weeks ago, the wife and I decided to go to town and eat out, and I decided to take the (chevy) truck, 'stead of the Tbird.
About a mile down the road, about 15 deer ran across in front of us, I was watching them, and counting them, when a straggler ran right in front of me and I nailed him on the driver's side front of the truck.
It rolled the deer over and over about 15 times, I was laughing as I slowly passed it.
Then I started to get pissed off, so I stopped, backed up, and got out, proceeding to kick the deer in the back of the neck.(to finish killing it, by breaking the neck)
Well, i saw the neighbors looking at the goings-on, so I went up to their house, and told 'em what had happened. As we're standing there talking, the ed deer raises it's head, and looks around.
Then it gets to it's feet. Meanwhile, I'm rather surprised, cause i've just bounced this critter about 60 feet, and kicked the holy hell out of it, and it's starting to hobble around a bit.
So...I ran like hell back to it, and give it a tackle worthy of a Super Bowl!
It gets up again, and hauls ass for about 50-75 feet, where all it stops, almost back with the herd of the other deer.
Wish I'd had a gun, I've had to buy a grille, headlight mount, and turn light for the truck to fix it.
F***in' deer, lmao
I nailed a deer coming home from Springfield last Spring, about 3 in the morning, it jumped up from the median and I hit it with the front left of the car. Tore the hell out of the bumper and fender, and left a streak of blood and shiznit and skin all the way down to the rear of the car. What you see in the picture is the car after about 3 months and some patch-up work from me - long live duct-tape and the rubber mallet.
Edit: that car never got washed again after the incident - I could still spot deer skin in some places when I sold it
My uncle that now lives in cali had a 95 mn12 Xr7 that he hit a deer with and that thing just got tore to shiznit.
I killed the Valentines Day racpuppiess once. I was cruising back from the beach at night in my '69 GTO & I heard a loud bump under the car. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw two objects in my mirror rolling down the highway. I was like ", I split that sucker in half!". I turned around and went back to the spot where it happened because we were curious as to what actually happened. There were two racpuppiess lying dead on the side of the road - apparently they were frolicking in the woods in a lovers state of bliss when they darted out into the road - boy chasing girl I'm sure :D Their romance ended as did that of Romeo and Juliet - they had to take their honeymoon in racpuppies heaven. :rollin:
Someone else killed the easter bunny here. I drove to the end of the driveway and layin in the middle of the road was thumper.
i almost bagged my an easter turkey on the way to the family gathering. it was out on I-69, crossing the highway like it was a field. I missed it though and the ppl behind me barely missed too. but it made it accross finally.
Was this the bunny by any chance you hit?
OH that is too good!!!
good, that is just wrong sir.. WRONG!
(well okay. i laughed.. but that just makes me wrong too.. hehe)
try this one....... about 4 years ago, i'm at the local dragstrip and get a frantic call from the wife saying she just ran over someone and killed them! I'm like "holy !" and jump in my truck and haul butt to the accident scene. (btw she was in my 88 TC) I get there and the car is sitting in the middle of a 6 lane road with police tape all around it. Turns out that somebody had run over and killed a homeless guy but didn't stop. The wife was a couple cars back and was the only one to stop. How the f*** do you run over a human being and not stop?! They never figured out who was the first one to hit the guy and after an investigation released my wife and the car. The wife was near hysterical and still gets upset today if the subject comes up. You DON"T want to know what I had to clean off the bottom of the car at the car wash:(
Here in NC during the fall especially, deer love to run out in the road. One evening we're driving home down the highway and we see a trail of animal guts in the middle of the road. The trail lead to two guys in a red Chevy Pickup who were stopped on the side of an off ramp with guts hanging off the chassis (I could see it under the truck). The truck didn't seem to be hurt too badly; it had a big off road bar bumper on the front. That deer got screwed.
But some people aren't as lucky and hit deer with their regular cars. You can say goodbye to your ride if that ever happens.
One day I was driving to school and there was police tape around someone's front yard, and I could see a dead body laying in the yard. I found out later that it was a hit n run. What an @$$hole.
I just saw that somebody mentioned Michael Waltrip hitting a gull. One time Dale Earnhardt was leading the Daytona 500 with a handful of laps to go, hit a sea gull and busted his oil cooler. When that happens, you know luck isnt on your side.
Well within the first 2 weeks i found out my cougar loves cooch ;-) i hit a cat lol then had a bird fly up and get hit with the antenna. also had a pigeon fly towards my headlight on my 86 mustang i had. flew under the headlight n met rubber lmao BIG puff of feathers behind me. also killed a squirrel with a reliant.... then coming back on that stretch of road i wondered if squirrels mate for life..... sure enough they do there was another on frolickin in the middle of the road with the dead one.
I killed a turtle at 90 MPH. I guess first that was a rock in the middle of the way, and slowly moved to the right, but that moved and went exactly to the front left wheel. Jumped like 10 cms, too....
Reading the story by Pressure Cooked Chicken...
An incident like that happend not too long ago here in Maryland on I-95.
Police were asking everyone who had driven along that stretch of 95 to call. They said at that rate of speed, people could have easily mistaken the man for trash or road kill and just ran over him.
Oh, I add myself to the frog list. Must have ran over about 200 of those things yesterday.
A few years ago my oldest Son used the 88' Crown Vicki wagon my dad left me to go to a Rammstein concert in Indiana. On U.S. 30 on the way home he hit an eight point buck. The wagon was messed up but able to be driven, Bambi's dad got his ass kicked.
