Have you ever hit an animal with your sports car?

You forgot Bullwinkle and Bambi

Well if he hit either one of them there wouldn't be enough left of his Z to hit the other one.

True enough. Does running over a turtle, but not actually hitting it count?

Lemers · 11-08-2011, 07:25 PM

How about when I had a CRX I had a couple kittens (looked like they were playing tag) run out infront of me. All I could do is strattle it as the other jumped out of the way. I didn't hit it directly but heard the kitten get hit several times by the underside of the car. I looked in the rear view mirror to see the thing run off. I must have used 8 or it's 9 lives.

My '97 Civic wasn't a sports car, but I did hit a dog about a week after installing a brand new Backyard Special carbon Kevlar lip. Destroyed the lip... And the dog ran off to God knows where, so idk what ever happened to it. For those of you that aren't into Hondas... A brand new BYS lip is over $900. I got a "hookup" on mine at $700.

Hit a huge red tail hawk with my Pontiac G6 back in the Spring. It few in front of me and hit the windshield at about the rear view mirror area. Sounded like a bowling ball hitting the car. Windshield survived, hawk didn't. Bothered me too. It was a beautiful animal.

Hit a deer when my new RX-8 had 900 miles on it.

Just hit a skunk last night on my z with 232 miles on it. The car stinks so bad I had to park it about 500 feet from my house.

There's some concoction a few pages back in this thread that is supposed to clear the smell up.

I ran over a squirrel with my Z. It was trying to cross the street but sadly ended up getting squashed under my tires. Poor thing was still on the street next few days.

Try the peroxide and baking soda combo kenchan posted. I soaked the entire underside of my car with that yesterday and it seems to have helped a lot. Hit a skunk last weekend. The smell faded a bit over the week but now seems to be completely gone after cleaning it.

I ran over some type of Groundhog in my Mom's 2010 Maxima. I felt horrible after hitting it, but what are u gonna do ?

kenoverbey · 11-14-2011, 12:55 PM

I've slayed about a dozen squirrels in the last few months! They obviously mis-judged my speed, LOL! Those 295's are unforgiving!!
