Have you ever hit an animal with your sports car?
 
My Z tried to hug a little birdie yesterday..... I stopped a half mile down the road to see if there was a bird stuck in my grille. This was the only evidence! 4 or 5 feathers stuck in there... it looked like my Z had eyelashes!

Haha...I actually hit a bird while driving on a parkway in mid flight a few days ago. It just kind of skimmed off the glass and top of the roof. Luckily it on only left a small scuff mark on the roof (came of with some polish).

not in my Z but one of my earlier cars a bird smashed into the side mirror and it was a mess to clean the passenger side window.... ewww... :icon14:

I try very hard to miss animals. I once swerved to avoid a raccoon on a highway off-ramp in a Fiero, then it did a 180 and ran back towards me, and I then had to swerve back to avoid it.

I also once had to stop for a 7-pt buck on a military base in a Miata. He just stood and stared, like "what's that little thing gonna do to me?"

And I once screeched to a halt in front of a flock of birds that were picking at garbage in the road. I crept up, I assumed they'd all flown away, so after a minute I accelerated, and *bump* added feathers to my grill.

Let me see! I've ran over two Squirrels one Jack Rabbit and a Road Runner. Lol

Canyon Carving sometimes involves taking out little critters to stupid to stay off the road.

I hit a coyote with my Audi a few years back. It ran out in front and it's head hit the right headlight. Cracked the headlight, and one of the lower grill pieces popped out. The coyote was also cracked.

Hit a rabbit a few weeks ago with the Z. Poor bastard ran right out in front of me and pegged him pretty good. Left a bunch of fur stuck to the front spoiler.

I don't know whether to take this seriously or not...:confused: considering that it's the Kenchan...I think not.

Hit a large female Rottweiler in my BMW 320i... Unfortunately she had already been struck once and was laying in the road with her back to me.. It was night and i didn't see her until it was too late. :(
