OK, I think this is a really innovative and different
topic...here is my "kill list".
Road Gater (truck tire tread) ran over with '89, it almost
wrapped around RR tire, but only took out the RR spat which
is held on with new screw and black sticky windshield goop
the last three years (never got around to fixing it right).
Bird (robin?) with '89 in grill, luckily unlike a couple
others, it wasn't trapped there, never saw it come out, but
car didn't get stinky and no feathers.
ALMOST Buck deer with huge rack crossing road (thanks deer
whistle!) went up on back legs and tried to strike at me
when I did accident avoidance lane change at 60 mph (thanks
SHO Registry convention Skip Barber school!).
While in school in 1969 I got a German Shephard with my 64
F-85, ran out from a ditch, and I had no Skip Barber
training to help me out.
HORSE! about 1973 or '74 with a Chevy van (the one with the
motor between the seats) full grown horse, on rainy night.
All I saw before the hit was a HUGE eyeball in the passenger
side of the windshield! smashed windshield (thanks safety
glass) buckled top RF corner, heater core fell and trapped
wife's leg under dash, but didn't hurt her much. Van got
crossed up and I almost hit two cars head on before taking
it into a ditch to get off the road, managed to keep it
rubber side down. Van wasn't fixable, but drove perfect,
Horse wasn't fixable either, and it didn't ride worth a damn
after! Thanks to archaic Illinois law, I was lucky not to
have to buy the farmer a new horse, let alone get any money
from him for the damage to my family and van.
That's it.
Oh, about a million bugs.
