Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

So yeah, I was driving back to campus last night,when I saw something in the middle of the road. I slammed on my brakes, and there was racoon...starting at me (well staring at my headlights really).

Damn racoons...hmmm, speaking of racoons, whatever happened to Vin?

oh well, but yeah, have you, or have you been in the car, when anyone has created ROADKILL?

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I don't think we have racoons here in Aus.

If I saw one, I'd probably just look at it and wonder why it's here in Aus

:unsure:

damn racoons...

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Vin, I remember that guy.

The racoons didn't like him at all.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

* sees racoons eating a dead body stares in awe* Well thats something you don't see everyday *Cough and points then looks around and walks away*

Where I live racoons are as common as umm... Trees ? who know. But they keep going through my garbage so I'm gonna load my 22 and wait :P * cackles wi th insane glee*

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

My dog Connor killed a 20 pound raccoon a couple months ago in my back yard. He came out with one good gash and a few various scratches. He was hurting but victorious.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Vin is still here under the alias DamnRacoons.

My mom hit a deer accidently one night when we were driving home. It was dark and rainy.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

oh, i haven't heard that name for soo long. heheh.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

My dad once hit this REALLY large bird...could have been a turkey vulture or something, it came out of a ditch to our right and right off of the corner of our windshield. *THUMP*. Left some nasty blood/tissue on our van, too.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

That happened to me once. I was riding with my mom and dad in a jeep cherokee, and my dad was driving. All of a sudden this turkery flies out of nowwhere from the right side of the road. It managed to get almost all the way across the Jeep, but then it got nailed by the top left corner of the windshield. I looked back and saw it flopping in the road... :distress:

Poor thing.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

yeah...sounds almost exactly like my situation. only this thing was bigger than a turkey...I mentioned 'turkey vulture' cause I think those are bigger than turkeys...it was like a large pelican almost. I dunno...the thing was huge, though...and it fell HARD.

I feel bad when I see animals on the ground twitching around...cause like, they're just gonna suffer and probaby get run over again. I wish they just had died, for their own good...

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

~VIN~ left in order to keep his post count at exactly 5,000, and just to get away and stuff.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I've almost hit a couple squirrels, and deer have run in front of my car countless times, but I've still yet to hit any animals.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I've never hit anything or even come close. But I did shoot a dear that got hit. I felt bad so I pulled over durning a move and shot it. It died briefly after that :)

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I ran over a 5 year old.

That's horrible! Is your car alright?!

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

oh man...i shoulda been there!

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Lol, reminds me of the time I ran over a cat. We were driving in this small neighbourhood, and this cat dashes out of nowhere in front of us. We ran right over him with our tire. We immediatly pulled to the side of the road. When we looked back, it got up and shook, and walked away like it was nothing.

Nine lives.. I swear.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Pff I don't understand people like that. :rolleyes:

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

never ran anything over....but when i get my own car, i'll be sure to run my sister over...

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I ran over a fuzzy bunnie thats about it

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

After running him over 5 times, his arm got jammed in my muffler, had to get a new one.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

i hate raccoons but last week i had the chance to actually make one road kill but i decided not to.... for it was big and fat and probably would've dented something, now if i had my parents grand vitara suzuki, i would've four wheeled its ass to HELL!!! hehehe...and then the week before las i had an excellent chance to gain 7 turkeys for thanksgiving dinner. but i decided not to hit all these damn birds because they were big and fat :( and there were cars behind me, and i couldnt have gone back yo get the bodies to eat em

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

all you need to get free turkey around here is go up by al with a loaf of bread and a baseball bat

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

What a tragedy....kids these days... :distress:

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

You talking about the muffler or the 5 year old? :p

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

... Germinator already made that joke...
:rolleyes: :p
I once rode over our cat with my bike... stupid beast, it really JUMPED in front of me. But it was ok. :p

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

CAts are invincible, I swear.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Well ~VIN~ did not leave just to keep post count at 5000. I know as a fact that he has gone down to shake off a racoon that has been keeping his trails for years. ~VIN~ now tries to find a "way" racoons can't get in..... :rolleyes: or so I think.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

Oh god, I ran over a raccoon once, it was a big mother. It actually got jammed in my tire well, and I dragged it along for about 20 feet before it finally dislodged. That was quite disturbing.

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I remember our car running over a squirrel once. I was 6 or 7 at the time. It was sad...

And a few weeks ago, I saw a dead cat. It's head was missing, it's guts were all over the road, and it's ribs were whole. Disgusting...

Re: Damn Racoons, always getting in my way
 

I ran over a skunk once, it was great.
