    Default I'm becoming a Serial Killer.

    Since August (2008) I have hit 5 animals on the road.
    A Wallaby, a cat, a Snake, A Bat and 2 days ago a Big Kangaroo.
    None except for the last caused any damage (to the car, animals not as lucky)

    Am I incredibly unlucky or have you hit things too? I have heard of those Shoo Roo things but does that work on everything?? Is there any other way to prevent it?? I will soon wipe out all of the native animals the way I am going.

    I went fishing the other morning with the intent of killing some fish for dinner, got no fish, but had a crow fly into my windscreen on the way home. 110km/h + its flying speed straight into the windscreen, thankfully it didnt even crack the screen, just made abit of a mess I looked like a total redneck driving through town with blood all over the windscreen and bonnet lol.

    Recently iv hit a wombat, fox, rabbit and a little while back i hit a poor cattle dog at 100km/h. Which is the only one i felt real bad for cause it survived the accident and i had to run 5 min up the owners drive to get them as it smashed the front end of my car to peices. No bumper left bent the front tie bar and almost done the new radiator. But the owner didnt even seem to care that much was the sad bit, she was half spaced out on some shit as she trundled off in her camry to town. Seemed like such a nice old dog.

    i hit a roo in my old falcon, the bloody thing got up hopped away, smashed my spotlight and grille, which sent a shard of grille plastic through my radiator and causing a minor leak. ohwell. made a mess of a rabbit in my ute one night. the radiator shroud that sits under the car shaved the hair off its neck and back, looked pretty funny when we went back to have a look and we see this rabbit laid out in the middle of the road with a reverse mohawk.

    shouldnt do shit liek that man, i mean fair enough the dog ran out and all but you should take more care (within reason) not to hit peoples pets regardless of what color the light is.

    not having a go or anything though but next time youll hit the wrong ****s dog and end up more hurt than the animal

    i didnt personally hit anything so far. but my mate bought a new ford and went for a drive. a red roo jumped out and he swerved to miss it. his back tires hit the dirt on the side of the road and threw him down an embankment while hitting three trees. he only had the car for a week and it didnt have insurance :S his car went up in flames!

    oh and my mum hit a rabbit on the way to mildura but she swerved to the otherside of the road to purposely hit it hahahahahahaha!

    it was pedestrian traffic lights, outside the mornington fire station. lights are green, il keep going. Im not going to stop unless they are orange, or red.
    Ladies fault for not having dog on the lead.


    and also when i was driving from pakenham to carrum downs, thompsons raod (12.30am) i saw a big shadow to the left upahead... and all of a sudden 5 or 6 cows ran accross the road, i nearly hit them, but swerved and missed. I called the police str8 away, so they would know what is going along there, and so other motorists would know.
    dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.

    If it was new, I would have thought (and it was on finance) the bank or finance company would require you to have full comprehensive insurance before you even step foot in the car...

    that reminds me of the time i hit a big red roo in a toyota 4x4 with a huge bullbar on the front, traveling about 90k and nailed this roo head on, no damage to the car, but danm this roo was a mess... it couldn't even hop away as roo's tend to do, so it was easy for us to out it out of it's missery!

    Did you happen to buy a few tens of litres of hydrochloric acid with it? And maybe a shovel?

    Exactly, I cant stand people who cant understand they are a pest. Whats the diffence in running one over, and shooting one? Im all for killing rabbits, aslong as there not left to suffer, if that means backing up to finish it off or putting abit more lead in it, then so be it, they are a pest and destroy the land. Also they taste nice

    Damn you a seriously unlucky (to OP). I hit 2 birds in the last year (both just flew into me) and both times I got seriously pissed off. Not at the birds or anything I just feel terrible killing anything.

    Also years ago my father manages to hit our garbage bin twice in two days, in the same part of the rear bumper.

    When I worked at a car wash we had a guy come in with an Indian Myna lodged in his front grill (and I mean really stuck in there!) and said "you clean cars right? can you get this off?"

    I said "Erm.. I'm not sure we clean that kind of bird stain?... let me check with the boss"

    Boss came out, look while then grabbed hold of the bird and pulled real hard, after a few tries there was a painful sounding "crack" and the sucker came out.

    The owner was happy
