I was driving home late last night out in the country and I ran over 1 and nearly missed killing another. The first one ran out onto the road all the way to my right wheel, realized I was coming, and barely escaped back the way he came. The second dumbass sat there in the middle of the road, eyes glued to mine while I pummled over him, sounding like I hit a boulder. Like a wuss, I closed my eyes awaiting impact. Ok you see a huge loud thing coming towards you with lights and you just sit there? Never mind the fact that I saw a deer completely split in two, possums, skunks, rabbits, and every other imaginable road kill out last night.... Im going to check my car for damages......
You will change the way we all speak. I can hear it now: "He looked like a racoon in the head lights."
I was in the car with my mom the other night, driving along and a racoon started to cross the road. The thing was, it got up to the edge of the road, looked up, saw the huge truck barrelling its way towards it, and THEN decided to run across the road. Had we not breaked hard, it probably would be in some hillbilly's stew right now.
Coons might not get out of the way of cars, but other than that they are actually really smart. Ever been camping? They can open and get into just about anything that you don't cover with something to heavy for them to move. Ice chests, buckets, just about anything.
FU*K!!! My whole front end has a crack in it from that idiotic rodent that decided to just sit on the freaking road while death was looming... b*stard......
i ran over a raccoon in bear creek park in my old car a few years ago. scared the hell out of me. i'm glad it was a red car, if ya catch my drift.
You shouldn't let that little b*stard get away with messing up your car like that. You need to put him in his place.
If you think coons are stupid when it comes to sitting around in the roadways, try possums. I would have cleared one one time, but the brave little guy decided to stand up on its hind legs and take it like a man!
Hey, if nature didn't give him the sense to move out of the way of a one-ton metal giant with headlights moving at 70 miles an hour, he deserved to lose his life. Right? The li'l guy lost his life, what more do you want out of him, Drewdog? I felt terrible when I killed an Elk, and she almost killed me. But she saw the lights and knew no better.
LMAO, I am sorry but that has to be the funniest thing I have read today. I can just see a possum, pulling a happy Gillmore. Thats too funny, but its not if the little guy is dead okay its still funny
By the way, sorry about your car Drewdog. What type of car was it? I used to have an '88 Taurus with old brittle plastic bumpers, they'd break with just about any type of impact. I had a friend roll into me going two miles an hour, shattered the entire thing. I ended up wrapping that car around a tree about a half mile up the road from where I hit that possum though.
