re: Largest living creature you ever hit with your vehicle

Hit a buzzard one afternoon, centered at top of my front glass. I think he hit the chrome strip, rolled and kept flying. Last I saw of him, he was gaining altitude and likely thinking, "Man that was close, I wonder when I can get back to that tasty road kill?"

We were driving from Cleveland, MS to Jackson late one night and came upon a car that had hit a mule, just south of Indianola, Mississippi. The smoke was still coming off the car when we pulled up. From the damage, I think the car was going pretty fast when they hit him. His legs were long enough for him to flip across the hood and through the front windshield. It killed all three of the people in the car. Really bloody mess. The mule didn't make it either. He was in the highway, suffering pretty badly and a redneck good old boy who stopped right after we did, asked me what I thought he should do, then at my suggestion he shot him through the head with a deer rifle. I think killing the mule bothered him more than the three bloody dead folks in the car.

Had a good friend who hit a camel in the desert in Iraq driving a tank retriever. He was running flat out, and the camel also came through the windshield. Messed my friend up pretty bad. Bush #1 War.

Hit two deer on two separate occasions, but hit the second one before I could even put the car in the shop for the first collision. Insurance guy was like wtf dude? The best/worst was in high school when I hit a Great Dane being walked on a leash. It was raining and nighttime and a teammate and I were driving home after a football game. The dog just lunged out off the sidewalk full greyhound stretch in front of the car with leash attached with a lady hanging on and the right headlight/bumper nailed it and spun it off back to the sidewalk. My buddy was chewing Red Man and spitting in a half-full McDonalds cup and the impact splashed that shite all over the headliner of the car. We skidded to a stop about a block down and turned around to help the lady walking the dog, but no one was there. We drove around the block but she and the dog just disappeared. Only damage was a dented corner of the hood and a busted light.

Never hit an animal in a vehicle.

I did punch a horse in his mouth once because I was drunk. Right after, the rider punched me twice- once in the face and once in the back of the head when I tried to leave. I was carried out via canoe back to the vehicle I rode in on. That’s the short version.

Not me but a friend of mine hit three deer crossing the road. The first went on his windshield, the second smashed his driver side window and the third hit the rear driver side window.

He was on his way to pick up his now wife’s engagement ring. She was grilling him on what he was doing so far from home when he hit the deer. She thought he was screwing around on him.

and how much damage did it cause?

Nothing - he was probably a little stunned for a minute though

Wife (no pics) rolled a blind man over the hood while he was crossing the road. Had to settle that one outside of court.

Women drivers.

I ran over a decent sized gator but didn't take damage. Maybe 5 foot.
