I was on my way to work this morning and I was having a lil fun, downshifting, apexing turns and what not. Anyways, I came around the final turn before work and I was in second as I came out I noticed a whole flock of birds eating some crap on the ground. I grew up at a beach and since I can remember I have thrown rocks at seagulls, they always get out of the way, NEVER have I hit one, even from behind. I was in second and was at like 3000 rpm so when I hit the gas to scare them I ****ing flew, one could not get out of the way fast enough and I hit it. I felt so horrible, luckily it got up and flew away so I knew it was alright. Holy crap, my Max actually out accelerated the bird and I hit it, altho I'm not proud of it, I am proud of the car for doing the impossible.

I knocked the stuffing out of a raccoon once, and sent a ground hog cart-wheeling into the ditch another time. Oh, wrong "roadkill" for this forum. Sorry... :-)

You just reminded me of an old roadkill: I was driving on a quiet city street, minding my own business, when suddenly, a German Shepherd ran up beside my car and barked at me! I could tell the dog was an experienced runner, so I didn't take any chances. I floored it, and with an intimidating growl, my Max pulled on him at once. Despite the mutt's dogged determination, I left the hapless hound standing in the road sniffing woop-a$$. Chalk another one up for the Mighty Maxima!

Whoops!

One night in the fall of '97 on a drive in rural TX, I took out an armadillo with my '97 Altima. At least I think I did. I didn't hear anything.

I almost crashed hitting a good sized gator on i-27 here in florida. I actually ran over his face at about 65. I skidded and stopped and the girl with me didn't want me get out of the car to check on it cause she said " it will be pissed and come after you" AHAHAHAH His face is a pancake, he's not doing anything. But i got out and went looking for him and he was gone. I felt bad. Seriously i felt worse hitting that alligator than any cat or bird ive smacked on the road.

When my mom owned my car she was driving on a backroad where there is typically a lot of animals. Well, I guess a California Condor had just picked up a rabbit and killed it and had it in its talons and was trying to take off. . . Well, since it and the rabbit were so heavy it needed a lot of room to take off and as my mom was about to hit it it dropped the dead rabbit on the hood of the car and it rolled hit and rolled off. . . She didn't hurt the bird and it continued to circle to pick up its food, but it scared my mom pretty bad.
