Default Bird eater

So I am driving to work today and a bird goes flying infront of my car, really low, and my car ate a bird I have a picture (i'll post when i get home), it was sort of alive so i put it in the forest. But i doubt it will make it... poor thing...

What have you guys killed in the s? or other cars...

God I feel bad, but its not like I could have done anything

I hit a rabbit once in my mom's old Jetta-- really felt terrible. To this day I get shivers whenever I see anything like that on the road.

I was driving up I94 this past weekend and saw a mother duck and probably 15 ducklings crossing the freeway-- I just about $hit myself. Thankfully everyone slowed and let them get across just fine. That was some pretty irresponsible duck parenting though IMHO.

IN my civic I ran a squirll over. I looked in my rear view mirror ... I felt horrible as i saw it gimp away. Then a few days later i became that squirll and broke my leg. A few days after that with a right broken leg i bought the s2000.
Just ran over a racoon this weekend. And in 2006 i ran over something that leaked blood on my garage floor i thought it was some kind of fluild. Thanks pinyo for cleaning up all that fur on my DIFF>>>...

On the way down to S2Kdays '03 in Austin, WestsideBilly and I ran into what we think was an opossum. I don't really know, I was sleeping in the passenger seat (and did so for about 80% of the trip..... , I wanted to be fresh for all the driving to be done in TX).

Anyway, I woke from my slumber after a pretty big rattle. We pulled over into a gas station off the highway. The whole driver side fender liner from bumper back the wheel well had come undone. After eyeing it, we decided to let the fender liner burn off from what was hitting the ground and the ground down from what was hitting the tire. We wanted to fix it and push it back into place, it was just that it was all covered with blood and guts and some fur.

I didn't want to get my lotion-soft hands messed up with that muck, and WSB kept telling me that "...it wasn't his car".

We got into TX and powerwashed that -ish off quick. It was NASTY!!!

I used to have a 92 si civic and I was coming home from the street races way back in probably 2001 and was taking my friend back home. It was raining and dark, out of no where my friend yells, "lookout!!". There was an opossum walking across the road with it's back humped up in the air. With my hatch being lowered and the opossum's back being up in the air I knew it was going to get ugly, so I hit it and we felt it roll under the car by our feet. After that my friend says, "let's go look at it". We turn around and go look, the opossum was on the side of the road on it's side breathing heavy and we just happened to look across the road and see all these little moving things laying in the road, probably 12 things. We go closer to look and it was all of the little hairless babies that popped out of her pouch laying on the cold rainy road. We go look back at the mother and she was already gone leaving the babies to die. I went back the next day and saw no signs of anything in the road, traffic got them or maybe a racoon in the night.
