Remember the old Prince song?

This is what it sounds like when doves cry . . . phlatttwerp!

I agree that it's dangerous to swerve for very small animals, but usually I do anyway. I think it's a karma thing with me; I'm afraid that if I don't swerve for the chipmunk, payback next time might be a moose.

You should see me during frogger season though, veering all over a rain-slicked road with my S02's all frog-slimed.

Doves are ignorant birds!! They stay in the road till the very last minute!! If you slowed down, they would stay there until you stopped or where RIGHT on top of them!

Have you guys ever seen a bird get sucked into a jet engine, sorry if I am cruel, but I saw it one when a plane was leaving the terminal, that was AWESOME!

Better a dove than an elephant.
Well... elephants doesn't have feathers. So it's less of a mess.
But if it was two elephants you would have killed both.
They don't fly.

Ciao

Cooking with the S2000

Next time find the breast and wrap it in bacon with a toothpick through it.
Wrap in tinfoil and throw it on the manifold for 8-12 minutes. Garnish with steamed carrots, and eat with nice "light" white wine of your choice.

Thats pretty nasty. Luckily i didn't have that much of a cleanup from my road kills. With my Si i hit a squirrel and its tail got stuck to the lip of my konig's like crazy glue, it was the nastiest thing u ever saw. Can we say powerwasher to the rescue. A bird flew into my S front bumper and bounced off, only leaving a rock like little chip luckily. There is another member of this board who hit a bird going 130 and it took a huge area of paint off his bumper!

I just hit a dog yesterday. I was driving along, when this dog(lab?) jumps out of this guy's truck who was waiting to make a left turn. The dog jumped out literally 2 feet in front of me. I hit the brakes, but the dog bounced off of my front bumper and went flying about 4-5 feet(I was going about 30 mph). Then the dog got up and took off. I pulled over and tried to chase after it, but it was long gone...sadly, so was the owner. I don't think he even knew his dog had jumped out. I'm gonna have to paint my front bumper, though. It's all cracked and falling apart where the dog hit it.

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing really hard while reading this.


This is so funny.
