..."who has a crashed-crunched-animal killing 2012?"

My 2012 has a raccoon magnet and a cracked chin spoiler...mild compared to your Z issues?!

I smoked a bunny (by accident) TWO DAYS after buying the car. Have you ever tried to replace a single rivet on a Nismo? Pain. In. The. ***. Maybe it's because Canada doesn't have a hell of a lot of them? Who knows. I had to have the whole front end replaced later anyways because I grinded a cement wall while parking the thing. Now I'm in the process of getting a dent fixed on the rear bumper from backing into a parked truck! I haven't even had the car for a full year yet!!! I know what you're all thinking, but I swear I'm a careful driver. My girlfriend thinks I'm cursed lol.

at least it wasn't a skunk.

The only thing I've killed with my 2012 so far is about a million mosquitoes.

I did almost run over a dead armadillo near my house one night. His motionless carcass was no match for my driving skills though.

I don't know-that is a lot of "bumps" if you're really

a good driver! LOL!

something something deer something brown Cube

kenchan · 07-18-2012, 01:39 PM

really getting tired of pink cube.

kenchan · 07-18-2012, 01:40 PM

i squashed a RC-mouse early on. i dont know the name of the mouse/squirrel but its tail points up so it looks like a RC car.

it felt like i drove over pebbles.

dmhenderson · 07-18-2012, 01:40 PM

I head to the beach on Fri and I'm going to drop it off before I leave because if my Z is done before I get back, I would actually have to end up SPENDING MONEY to keep the Cube and I refuse to sink a single dime into that thing that isn't absolutely necessary.

That would be a chipmunk? I remember your post about this and my wife and I started to call them RC mice

BTW - there is a non-2012-animal crunching thread also: Have you ever hit an animal with your sports car?

the tail looks like that, but i dont remember seeing the brown/white trademark stripes like that on their backs. they're very quick so maybe im not seeing it quite clear.

Do potholes count? There's so many in the wilds of LA, when I'm drivin- "CRIKEY THERES A POT HOLE" *swerve*.

It must be the 2012's oil cooler that attracts animals.
