this is just my luck ...
Today, I ran over a squirrel. I saw it twitching so I backed over it to end its suffering. It wasn't a squirrel it was a kitten. The children it belonged to watched as I ran over their kitten. TWICE.

Sucks to be that guy.
When my dad was in high school, lunch time he's driving past the school, kids out in the playground and everything, he hits a dog. None other than his teachers dog. Right in front of a bunch of kids.
He gets out of the car and in frustration kicks the dog, thinking it's dead. The sumbitch yipped and took off running :icon_rofl:

Seemed for about six months everywhere I went animals wanted to die. I hit 2 deer, 2cats,1 dog, 2 possum, and one skunk. I had three people in the car when I hit the one cat and they got pissed and didnt talk to my for like a month because they couldnt understand why I backed over it to put it out of its suffering after I checked and relized that it wouldnt servive. The two girls that were with me I understood kind of, but my buddy took it to a new level when he freaked on me and told me to burn in hell and then left.

Ive done that to a bird before with my B2. He bounced off my grill and i saw him twitching so i slowly backed up and lined him up in my side mirror. I think it is very humane.....lol

my stepdad was racing a buddy back in the early 80's topped a hill and took out a dog that was attached to a leash that was being walked ..
I feel for ya...... I hate running over kittens (or any other small animal)....... I have no problem with running over cats ..... those things are quick ...... sometime I need 4wd and to go into the ditch to get them.

I try to avoid running over anything in the road. Animal bones become spikes at speed, and I don't know what is in that sack/box. Plus, bad kharma for purposely killing animals for fun.
I was driving down the road yesterday, and a Pontiac was coming at me driving slowly with a buzzard stuck in the grille. Further down the road, there were several of them devouring a racoon carcass, so I guess the driver (a woman) didn't see them:icon_twisted: or was gabbing on her phone.:icon_twisted::icon_twisted:shady

Yum...grilled buzzard....lol
I've hit a few animals that I couldn't avoid...one of the first was a big dog...didn't kill it, but it broke my headlight...and that was enough to teach respect for animals and the damage they can do to a vehicle...

Sorry but that made me laugh.
I ran over an Irish Setter once in my old 72 Torino. I hated that damn dog and one day he was just right there in the road and would not move. So I didn't swerve. I felt the car jump as it went over him at about 20 mph. And this car was fairly low to the ground. Next day I was back by there and he was laying on the porch like nothing happened. Satanic bastard.
I also got hit by a Rottweiler once. Yes, the dog hit MY car. I was backroading and having a dozen or so beers with a buddy and we rounded a curve and this dog came tearing out of the woods and slammed into my right fender. I stopped and got out. There was a dent in my fender the size and shape of his head, but that dog just kept on going.

That is damn funny. I would much rather run over one of these Lance Armstrong wannabes than a animal. Those idiots dont realize my 4k vehicle will win every time. It particularly pisses me off when there is a BIKE PATH within sight, but they are in the road anyway....

Yeah, for sure. I catch myself heading right at them..but I always (reluctantly) pull away. I just try to get close enough to scare the hell out of em. If they're going to ride on the roads, they should have all of the requirements that a motorcycle has...license plate, tabs, headlight, etc.

If something wants to intrude on my allotted 10'x20' hunk of pavement, it better learn to dodge tires because I am not ditching my truck over anything smaller than a cow... and even then it depends on the ditch.
I have already bagged a deer, a badger and a possom. I didn't enjoy either one but I didn't have a choice, they did.
It is kind of funny once in awhile I have read in the paper that somebody ditched their car and rolled it 2 times to avoid hitting a deer. Just let it take out the headlight/grille/fender, unless it jumps at the last minute it and comes thru a truck windshield it won't hurt you. They usually slide right over the top of a car.

We full well realize it. I am disappointed that you feel that way about bicyclists, but not all of us are "Lance Armstrong wannabes" and enjoy to ride/exercise on bicycles. I can understand your aggrevation about them not using the bike path provide, but still disappointed.

It doesn't bother me how close you get. The way I see it, you hit me and I live your f$#@ed; I die, you do jail time, hopefully for the rest of your natural life.
If you want to start tagging and charging cyclists for road use, then we need to charge everyone else as well. People that walk on the shoulder/sidewalk, skateboaders, wheelchairs, tractors, etc. But that fact that these have almost no affect on the road makes it pointless.

Would it be wrong to mount to flimsey curb feeler to the side of my box so It whips there ass on the way buy. not enough to hurt them just to get the attention. you could even put a counter thing on it like you use to count pitches see how many you can get on your way to work. make it a game with other coworkers

No. Bicyclists do not belong anywhere that cars regularly travel, just like most of the other people you mentioned do not belong there either. You are a danger to yourselves and everyone else. You people make me choose between hitting you or swerving into a car full of kids to miss your bike. I don't like it.

Every vehicle produced is equipped with brakes; why swerve and endanger others when you can just slow down.

I have had people try to run me off the road on my dad's tractor, in particular one red Mustang convertable (with the top down) drivin by a lady on a cell about bought my left rear 13.6-38 tire right down the middle one day... because she couldn't let me lumber at 18mph (in a 25) by so she could go around a parked Suburban in her lane. It was a fully restored Massey Harris 44, bright red with yellow wheels... I would think rather hard to miss. I dunno how long it would have stayed upright but it wouldn't have blinked at crushing that car, and flopping upside down once it climbed it high enough wouldn't have do me much good.
Luckily I saw her dart around and locked up the tires to give her enough room to squeeze thru.
Some people are just stupid and there is nothing we can do about it but try not to let them kill us. :dunno:

I have saved so many peoples lives on two laned highways like that. Most people do it cause they got Stangs or Vettes and try to be bad. They're just lucky I have a heart for any automobile even when its driven by a total douche.

Today, I was having a horrible day. I was laying on the couch, crying, when my dog came up on the couch to console me. I was thinking about how great it was to have a dog, because they're there for you when no one else is. As I was sobbing, I heard something. My dog farted into my mouth. Twice. FML

bicycles have EVERY right to be on the road, thats why there are LAWS regulating their use. yeah, there are some spandex douchebags that hug the center line and/or weave in the lane, but most of us are just out trying to save some money and get some good exercise in the process. bike lanes? HA! i'm lucky if there is a shoulder more than 4" wide. if there were bike lanes around here, you better believe i'd be using them.

Dang dogs...it's not like you can sob...the SOB has to add to your misery...:icon_rofl:
But I'm kinda curious as to why you had your mouth so close to the mutts butt...my dog used to lick my face when I was sad...sounds like your dog tried to poop on your droop...
