So last night, around 7pmish, I was driving west on Paper Mill Road, when the large SUV in front of me made a rather sudden and sharp turn onto a hidden driveway.
Confronting me on the road, previously blocked by the bulk of the SUV, was a deer.
I'm sure you can see where this was going.
Fortunatly for me, the deer was already dead (or I'd have one squashed Celica and a pancaked me inside). However, it was stretching across my lane, so, thankful for no oncoming traffic, I swerved into the other lane to avoid the bulk of the dead deer.
I am pretty sure I ran over the deer's head, though.
No word on whether or not it did a Phil Reatardo. Going over it felt like any other pot hole.

I would have guessed that it would have been more speed bump like.
So, a quarter point for it already being dead.

I used to have that poster.
Also, once I ran over a possum with the left front *and* rear tire - two distinct thuds - and when I looked in my rearview mirror the thing was *getting back up and walking away.* Heard similar stories from people around town before...those things are tough.

I saw a bus run over a pigeon once, it wasn't so much crunchy, more like it went pop like bursting a baloon! I pitied the people who were standing closer and got covered in pigeon blood.

A friend of mine put a huge engine (something like a 3000cc Ford Granada auto) into his BL Mini. The radiator got so hot, he once hit a crow, and he soon after smelled something burning. When he stopped to get out and have a look, he found a roast crow, ready to go.

Lol, I find dead rats, birds, moles, gophers, you name it behind the front bumpers of cars at work. I sometimes put them in the back of my bosses car.
I also had an experience like GBs friend. Ran over a pigeon and it got caught up near the exhaust manifold. They smell remarkably like chicken after a couple hours.
Snay, I'm glad you didn't fuck up your car, those deer do a lot more damage than I thought possible before I started working at the BS. Just be glad you weren't on a bike, that gives me nightmares.

That reminds me, when I was in middle school one of our teachers hit a rabbit at highway speed... it punched in his grill, shattered a headlight, and cracked a windshield. His wife thought he really hit a deer and he was pulling her chain about the rabbit, at first. Such a tiny thing...

My uncle destrpyed his daughter's cat one chilly morning when he started up his car: the cat was (some-fucking-how) up inside the engne for warmth (it gets cold in gainsville where they live). Turns out there is a local service that deals with roadkills and offers pressure-cleaning of cars and such. He said the cat was torn to shreds (by the belts I suppose).

Jason, between the belt and fan blades they make a mess alright, although not a lot of cat noise....
