Suicidal Coyote

[Capri306]

Damn, I feel your pain, bro. I only WISH I'd ever hit something that small so I guess you could say you were lucky in that respect...?

I think I have y'all beat. I've smoked 3 deer and a goat. Worst one was a deer with me going 60 in a 1980 Chrysler Newport (yes, it's an f-ing BOAT). Hit the right side of the front end, sucker went airborne and like *hovered* over the hood of my car as the brakes were locked...like was said above, as if single movie frames. I left skidmarks for about 80 feet, maybe more. Dang cop took like an hour to get there, but that deer was DOA anyhoo. I just thank gOD I wasn't in the Mustang then, I would've cried.

My new GT had less than 700 miles when two turkeys just missed getting hit by the truck next to me. I managed to only hit one. They were big suckers. I saw it go flying over the breakdown lane and into the ditch. It broke my headlight bracket and cracked my bumper. Since then I have not had good luck with animals. Or I should say animals have not had good luck with my cars. I was on the Mass Pike a few months later with cars on each side and behind me and ran over a family of ducks trying to get across. A pheasant hit the windshield on a back road (it lived), and a bunch of chipmunks met their end. Friends found a gave me a bumper sticker that says something along the lines of: Squirrils natures speed bumps. The one bit of good luck for me was going to work early one morning, I was stopped at a traffic light. It turned green but I knew the van coming from the right was going to run his light so I waited. Sure enough he ran it and turned in front of me. Just down the road a bit a deer came running across the road and the van hit it. If the van had not been coming it would probably have been me.
