I ran over a bird. I saw the bird too late. The lady behind ran over it too. I was coasting along after a acclerating from a stop sign and the bird didn't move at all. I thought it would move. It was on the right side tire only. It sounded like when you pop a bag of air. It did not damage to the car.

The Z seems to very quite in coast mode. I also almost ran over a rabbit and a squirrel. Both times I was coating after a stop sign acceleration. Lucky for all of us I saw the rabbit and squirrel in time.

thankfully I havent hit anything as big as a raccoon, there was a squirrel I hit though, but that was his own damn fault.

He actually had the right idea, he ducked under the bumper and I cleared him, but he stood up before I had completely passed him and he got knocked in the head with the borla muffler.

He was hurtin, but probably lived, might be a little retarded now though.

A monstrous possum jumped right in front of my accord and i slammed on the brakes quick enough to stop right in front of it, and the bastard didnt even move. We had atleast a 7 second stare off until it had a late reaction and got scared and ran. Thank god no one was behind me =o

I hope you learned something. Go slower next time, save yourself the time, money, and trouble of a damaged car while also saving the animal's life.

I remember when my dad got a brand new 7 series, i took that b1tch out for a spin. Was testing out the 60-120 times, long story short as I am doing like 100-110, I see someone dog run out in front of me, (now i was told never to make any sudden moves for anything smaller then a deer) so I just plowed through that pitbull
felt like I hit an extra large jug of water, I pulled in to a gas station to asses the damage and found that the front left headlamp and front left fender were completely missing and everything was covered in blood, also found the dogs jaw and dog collar
dog collar said: Jim (please call blah blah) -
I never called.....

That's what happens when you let a kangaroo enter a road race. They NEVER take the right line.
