Look What Ran Into Me, Or What I Ran Into

Maybe we can start a thread about this. Sometimes it can't be avoided or helped. Sometimes it happens due to no fault of our own, but it does happen. Coming back from Cape May, traveling on the parkway at night , I saw something fly in front of the truck. Found out the next day what it was, A bat! Poor little guy. Anyone else ? Doesn't have to be an animal, maybe a fence, hydrant, anything. Not trying to be gory or gross, just curious for entertainment's sake.

Growing up out in the country, I've hit a bunch of different things. Have hit bats, birds, chickens, wild turkeys, a cat, two dogs, 4 or 5 skunks, deer (4 occasions, hit two in one incident), a fox, and what seems like dozens of chipmunks and squirrels.

I've heard of people in my area hitting cows, coyotes, moose and even bears.

I can imagine. Car must've gotten destroyed hitting a cow! Once a baby fox ran under my car as I was driving, I think I just winged him tho.

Once in high school auto shop a teacher had a skeletal bird stuck in his grill. It was there for awhile! I was like wtf! Doesn't this guy ever look? Lol

I know a girl that had a classic 68 Camaro convertible, show quality. She clipped a deer at about 3 o'clock in the morning heading home after working in a bar all night. The deer flipped over the hood, crashed through the windshield and wound up in her backseat. She was able to slam to a halt, by which time the deer started tearing everything up trying to get out. I think she said it was like an eight or ten pointer, the antlers shredded every bit of the interior, as it was kicking it dented all the doors from the inside, completely destroyed the car.

Wow, what a shame about the car. Hopefully she was OK.
