I ran over a deer carcass that was maybe 3 or 4 car-hits old with my driver side wheels at 65mph. No damage except a few hairline paint cracks where the bumper folded on impact a little, then back into place. I shaved off some pieces of flesh and hair with the sideskirts. I stopped on the next off ramp and 4 other cars where there asking "did you hit that thing too?"

lets see. I've hit a carcass at about 70. my wife had just hit it with her car in front of me and I had just enough time to swerve enough so as to avoid any damage, but there were chunks of flesh on the front passenger side splash guard.
probably the worst when I hit a wild turkey at about 85. bent my front license plate slightly but it straighten right up. the turkey didn't fair so well, he bounced off the front bumper and when limp as he flew to the other side of the road. the whole (pikes peak white) car was covered in guts and blood from the hood to the hatch, and I had to use my windshield wiper fluid to get the guts off so I could see to drive. I went straight to a car wash to get the guts off, and the owner of the car was came out and had the most horrified look on his face. I figured I would just let his imagination wonder

I hit a pregnant cow on the way to work other night. About five minutes before I hit it a lady put it down with her Buick. I had enough time to swerve so I didnt hit it straight on. I ramped off its head and neck like Evil Knievel. It pushed her about fifteen feet down the road. I feel bad for the cow being that it was pregnant and all. I just got the estimate a couple days ago about five thousand dollars in damages. front bumper, radiator support, all the splash guards under the car and all the right front suspension has to be replaced.

I ran over an armadillo (part of one, anyway) driving from Austin to College Station. I didn't bother to stop. When I arrived, I had to extract it, which I captured on video. Notice the sound when the meat hits the floor

Took about 2 weeks for the "burned fried chicken smell" to go away.

i've ran over numerous plastic bags. the damamge isn't that crazy. the funny part is that when it comes through the front of the car it never makes it out the back of the car. =*( i just smell burnt plastic for a few minutes.
just wondering does this happen to anyone else?

The Z has been bad luck for me. I never hit a single thing in my celica then the first night i was driving the Z i hit a possum that would have made it if it didn't stop to gawk at the beautiful Daytona blue Z about to hit it. Then i hit a ground hog while i was exiting the highway and i think another possum. It just bolted out in front of me i didn't even have time to react let alone identify it.

Decided to pass an 18 wheeler on the interstate, (No speeding involved, the limit on that particular part is 70, I would have been doing 70 when passing.) when immediately after changing lanes, I see a giant metal box in the road. I tried to miss it, cleared it in the front but it still clipped my back tire, causing my car to start sliding all over the road.
I tried to keep it on, but eventually wound up going into the median while airborne. After my car was thrown around like a ragdoll, I ran back over to the road to pull the metal thing out of the road before someone else hit it. It was a raccoon trap. :/ Thanks to some hillbilly, my car now requires a good several thousands of dollars in repairs to *hopefully* run again.
To make matters worse, just yesterday my brother and I decided to turn her on for the first time since the accident, just to listen to it run for a moment. Just seconds after turning the key, it started making some weird noises. I fear for my baby's future.

a little off topic but i am officially a bunny transporter. There are a **** load of bunnies where i live and they crawl up onto my oil tray and just chill there. I have had a few jump out and fly under my car going about 50 mph!!! It is actually pretty sad because i seen one fly out from under my car tumbling down the road. Some of them are smart enough to wait and just hop out when i reach my destination. So far I dropped one off at my friends house and at home depot where i work.
