Things you've hit while cruising.

  Top of Page

during one of my frequent visits to the national park there near bundeena
i hit a fricken deer!  ****ed my bumper nicely (which was resprayed like 2 months ago. im pretty sure the bastard lived to see another day coz there was no evidence of carnage on the way back.

but the moral of the story is if u see a deer slow the **** down coz those things just run, dummy, strate for ur car.

anyone else with similar stories, ide like to hear em

Firstly, spell the damn words out.
"Things you've hit while cruising." Not that abortion you have.

Now, what have i hit?
Wombats
Turtles
Skippie's
pot holes
Caine toads <---- Don't run them down...

and oh yes..... a big f*ck of red gum or six.

You didn't stipulate it had to be in the Liberty.

The car i hit it in barely even noticed the impact. Steel bumpers FTMFW.

I hit a kid on a pushbike once........

He dented and scratched my bonnet. He was in the 100&#37; wrong, little ****er. He only bruised his ego.

Other than that made a nice mess of a cat once.

In my old car, I another car reversed into me in a carpark. Not very unusual, I know..

But it was the thing inside the car that was scary. It was some sort of transgender shemale thing.

Honestly couldn't tell whether it started as a boy or a girl. It was some weird hybrid Z gene human.

I hit a bump in the road on a NSW highway in a car with coilovers and got solid air... all 4 wheels off the ground. Gave me a fair fcking fright at the time cos I was in serious cruise mode.

Other than that I've hit a keep left sign island which luckily had no keep left sign on it (someone had under-estimated the corner like me).

I also killed a possum on the way up to a lookout, may as well have turned around and gone back down then cos the girl happened to be a real nature lover lol

Ok, so this isn't something that i have it but instead just a response to dance_hard's post.

My dad hit a wombat in his commodore and the car was a write off. Stupid thing got dragged under the car and ripped it to pieces. Funny thing was the wombat managed to stumble back off into the bush while we tried to push a car with 2 flat tires onto the side of the road.

stupid thing.. wouldv't loved to have run up and kicked it before it escaped, but would've probably just hurt my foot!

Hi,

Car on the freeway in a 9 car pile up.

But, most incidents happen out here in the country. Plenty to hit out here.

Four separate kangaroo's, and we have big Kangaroo's out here, not those little buggers you see up north. Easy 7'.

I hit a tree doing about a buck fourty going into the corner, so impact speed must've been about a buck twenty. Car written off.

Plenty of birds, one that took out a headlight and grille, and another that took out a front bar.

You probably already know I hit an Emu a couple of weeks back, car still isn't home.

Oh, and of course, a few hotties in the back of the throat. :suicide:

Cheers,
Nik

I hit a pig whilst driving to Kalgoorlie once, did a lot of damage to the truck & the hardest part was getting his motorcycle out from under the roo bar.........but on a more serious note I've probably hit about 20 roo's over time but only 2 of them did a lot of damage, back in the mid 70's I hit one at about 2am doing roughly 140kph whilst filling a gas cigarette lighter in my mates 3 week old Cortina (he was asleep in the back seat & girl we were giving a lift to couldn't do it) totally destroying the front of the car resulting in a 250k tow by a drunken truck driver on a 2" chain...........Not fun I can assure you, another time I had one that I'd slowed down to chase jump over my newly painted bonnet (just repaired from hitting another roo lol) leaving some nice scratches & another time I thought I'd give a flock of sheep that were crossing the road at about 3am a bit of a nudge (stupid 18yo) problem was I'd been sitting on about 150 - 160kph for ages & what I thought was about 5kph was more like 30kph, old V8 Fairmont flew up in the air stalling and & sheep went everywhere rolling down the road like skittles. Heaps more but not worth mentioning.

Yeah that put my commodore up on two wheels.
Bent a strut and farked the little splitter under the bumper.

Other than that it was fine.
It would have written the Liberty off how ever.

Had a weird week once, hit a dog in my mums mazda 3, completely desroyed the front bar, stupid fker, just threw itself in front of me at the end of a street in beecroft.
That same week, i was putting "SOLD" on a real estate sign @ work, my can was parked against the curb, heard this "THOM!!" thought nothing of it, just a car driving by, 20 seconds later, i turn around, a dead kitty had expired underneath my van, the car that drove by had clocked the bugger over the head something fierce. So i went over to the neighbours house and got a towel, and tagged and bagged him.
