Pre Halloween I ran over somebody's cat. Last Saturday morning I had a $3k run in with a deer. Today I took out somebody's dog. Anybody have any animals they want to get rid of?

We'll take your truck, it'll probably hold up better than the Camry.

Give me some time to build a big cattle catcher for the front. I'll add pointed spikes so death comes quickly.[1]

The animals were so repulsed by the Camry, they were willing to give their lives, trying to get it off the road. Can't you take hint? Oh, the humanity.....

I'm surprised the cat didn't accomplish that.

Actually Duane conveniently omitted the "rest of the story". An owl was trying to carry away the cat and in his attempt to kill the owl, he ran over the cat instead. He then saw an owl riding around on the antlers of a deer. Swerving towards to deer in order to frighten the owl into taking flight so he could hit it, lost control and took out the deer. Being so "kill the owl" obsessed he then saw a dog in the road but had hallucinations. Thinking the dog was a lone owl ripe for the taking...you guessed it, he hit the dog!

Darned owls!!!!

If you didn't spend so much on owl ammo, you could.

Okay, cue up the Hee Haw music..."Gloom, Despair and agony on me! If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all..." Sounds like your new theme song dude!

Sorry about your luck.

Sounds like the weird day I had when I was about 19-20. First, I had a couple of dogs run the car, had to swerve to avoid them. Then I had to slam on the brakes & swerve to avoid a bunch of rabbits that ran in front of the car & did the zig-zag panic move. Finally, a cat came hurdling out of the ditch & leapt in front of the car, fully stretched out in the air Superman style, and turned his head in what seemed to me slow motion to look right at me before the car took him out. Not a damn thing I could do about that one. All that in the course of one country drive.

Sounds like me last week.
I copped a rock right in my line of sight and put a big bullseye in the windscreen of the Hilux.
As i was heading off to Alpha (1200km's drive to the middle of nowhere) i got a new screen, which coincidentally was the first screen i have done in 32 years of driving.
Insurance covers 1 per year so that was great.
Headed off at 3am and by 6am i had cleaned up 3 brown snakes, 2 rabbits and a fox (In OZ you don't slow down for any of these vermin).
Made it to Alpha that night, got up at 5am and headed out to the mine, 10 minutes later out comes a wallaby (Tiny Kangaroo) from my left and turned across in front of me.
He cleared the bullbar, but went straight into the screen, then ripped the top off my snorkel on his way to heaven.
Back into town, $800 for a new screen, back to the mine to finish the survey and then headed for home.
Next day, 1/2 way home, a road train going the other way threw up a huge rock that went straight through my new windscreen and put a hole the size of your fist in it.
Duct taped it up to get home and bought another screen.
I hope thats it for a while.
Heres a pic of the first encounter with the wallaby
