I one time ran over a dead boar. It was dark and about 5:30 in the morning on a Sunday. I was heading out for a run and was passing what appeared to be a drunk driver. I gun it get in front of him and I guess he didn't like it so he starts tailing me. I gun it to get a way when i notice a huge pile of something in the road. One lane either way and oncoming traffic...If i hit the brakes i risk the drunk fool slamming into me, if i swerve i might hit the car coming head on. One thing to do over the pile of what looked like horse hockey. Well it gave me a little lift when i went over and i heard a couple of pings underneath. I get to my location and when i get out it smells of manure. Well when i drove back after my run I see an area about 20 to 30 ft. long covering the entire lane with blood and boar guts everywhere. It was a small one judging by the skull. Probably about 200 lbs or so. Quite a unique experience cramming a 200lb boar under a Z. Lucky for me there was no damage done and a good pressure washing to the under carriage was all it needed.

I just hit a dog (looked to be a black lab) on the freeway doing 80 on Saturday. Thankfully I had just looked over to see if there was anyone next to me in the HOV lane and there wasn't, so I swerved, but still hit it with what looks to be the outside of my tires... huge thud.

Car in front of me hit it and threw it into the air. I thought it was a tire tread at first with how it flailed about.

Aww man that sucks. Makes me mad when people can't control their animals or don't take care of them.

Couple seconds later, I hear like some clicking sounds coming from the rear of the car. I was like..**** oh great. I was right next to the parking lot at school, so I just carried on slowly and parked.

When class was over, I decided I was going to take the Z to the nearest dealership..which was about 12 miles away. However, the clicking noise continued as I began to drive. It was like a repeating clunk/click noise coming from the rear. At this point, I had already taken a quick look and verified that something was indeed stuck behind my Z. ( I didn't know what it was stuck to, I lack basic knowledge of car parts LOL).

The noise continued as I was exiting the school parking lot. I was moving at around 20 MPH tops, as the noise would get louder if I tried to go any faster. I drove about half a mile..probably less where I pulled over to the side of the street because I was scared that I would damage the car or something due to the noise it was producing. Lucky for me..there was a shop right next to the street which I had pulled over. I decided **** it, I will just stop here and see if they can help me out.

I pull in with the rear still producing noise, and I park. I talked the guy real quick, told him I had something stuck in the rear. He told me to pull my car up and that they were going to lift it and check it out real quick. When they lift my car, there was like this rope thing stuck on what he told me was the driving shaft...IT was a lot of rope ( Look at pic for reference) I was like O.o wtf!!!!!

The two mechanics started to cut it off slowly for about 5 minutes before they took all of it out. I guess it was wrapped around that, + the rear diff? that's what he said..
He also said if I kept driving a bit more, I would have been screwed.
I drove away, and everything seems fine now..
Today was a really bad morning


Anyone else experience something similar?
Is that a stock exhaust I see?

I was forced to run over a dead animal (coyote i believe) my car is lowered, it didn't go well. got him wedge up in between a cross member and the exhaust, it cooked half of him, the other half was raw. could not get him out with a pressure washer, actually had to get a metal rake and pull his bones from the cross member. grosses thing Ive ever dealt with.

And EWWWWWWW...

On my drive TO Texass, in the Lexus, I ran over a dead deer and it went right in the middle of the car. It was right after a crest so I had no time to react. Heard it scrape the whole car. And no damage at all, lol. Toyotas, they fix themselves

Yeah, no. I would take it somewhere and have someone else deal with that.

No thanks.

Lol, yes..stock exhaust.
Andrew, I almost wanted to call you because I thought the Z was going to brake Lol. I figured you would know what it was stuck on.
I don't think there was any long term damage. Anyone know if it can happen? Car seems fine idk ..

I was third in a group of cars on I-10 coming back from Nismo Fiesta in San Antonio this past April when a wild boar ran out onto the road. Car #1, a Mustang, hit it dead center in the grille, through it up in the air where it was hit by car #2, an F150. Major damage to the Mustang.

After the F150 was done with it, what was left flew out from under the truck and I had nowhere to go but right over the carcass. I could hear the individual pieces bouncing off the under carriage.

When I got home, there was a fully cooked pork dinner under the car! YICK! It took about an hour of hosing at a local car wash and pulling out entrails to get that mess cleaned up.
