Sport brakes help.... I've hit cardboard boxes and Styrofoam because high winds and too much traffic for evasive maneuvers :(

A dang Great Dane ran out in front of me in my 1975 280zt. Then a deer hit the exact same spot. That is why I have a brand new Nissan hood in a box in my garage. Cats were notorious for running out in front of me and taking out all the plastic undertray's in my 300zxtt. The last one that did it I turned around and put 2 tires over him for good measure.

I hit a duck in front of my apartment when it was dark and raining. I also hit a deer when I was 16 with my v6 Mustang.

Have you ever hit an animal with your sports car?
 
A bridge barricade showed up infront of me when I had a Infiniti coupe

Hit a deer in my brand new RX-8. 600 miles on it and had to get the front bumper replaced.

Hit a large armadillo going 60 and caused a deep dent on front bumper. Made a pit stop to walmart and bought the cheapest hair dryer, warmed up the dent and it pushed out back to perfect again

Same thing happened to me with a dog in the neighborhood. I obviously wasn't going 60, more like 20mph. Turned the corner and dog ran across the street. Used the hairdryer trick to pop the bumper back out.

Dog was perfectly ok.

Funny you mentioned that. Same thing happened to me. I hit a 120lb. Rottweiler going about 25mph. Dog went flying through the air, got up and walked back across the street. Dog is fine but my car has $2900 in damage. Going in for repair this week.

I hit a dog on the highway going 70mph... Pretty sure it was a pitbul.. supposedly $10k in damage because "nismo parts are expensive"

that is not too bad....

I only have a sport model and the deer I hit on Jan30th is going to end up costing over 14k....
I still dont have my Z back yet.... but should have it back by this weekend though.

I hit a jack rabbit on the highway at 75mph. It took out my front bumper and carbon fiber front splitter!

I hit potholes in toronto because narrow roads and not much wiggle room.

I've definitely scraped cause of it. Ugh
