Default Confirmed Kill

No I am not talking about a race.... I hit a big stupid otter on HWY-98 Last night doing about 60 mph. I didn't know what it was at first but it sounded like it totally demolished my suspension. I went back to look and there it was, a big dumb otter, I say it was dumb because who walks out in front of a car that you can hear coming 10 miles away, even if it were blind..... Anyone got a better confirmed kill? Like maybe a gator or an "under bridge troll"?

- decapitated a baby bunny rabbit once back when I had my 3rd gen.

- Back when I was 16 in heavy rain going 60mph downhill in my mom's minivan, I hit what looked like a large racoon and that one sounded like it did a number on the suspension. My dad was with me at the time... It totally scare the bejesus outa me (new driver) but my dad was laughing pretty good saying stuff like "damn! you really nailed that sumbitch!".

- dirving a ford ranger work truck 2 years ago, heading north on 95 just past 210, an enormous bird decided to jump out from the middle and collide with the truck when I was running about 70. broke the headlight and dented the hood. nobody at work would believe me till they looked and saw the bird guts stuck to the hood. pics below....

^^^ those are my only mentionables. have hit small birds a and a squirrel or two in my time. Thankfully nobody's pet has been slain by me, yet. Well, assuming that thing I hit in the rain was a wild animal..

I popped an armadillo. Right under the front wheel, turned around to see how he managed. Completely exploded.

I've managed to hit 3 Armadillo's in FL. Damn those things freak you out, you figure something has got to be damaged under there.

Small world Hyperzone, I work for DRS right now. I got to get rid of my shitty Ranger a few months back and am sporting the huge *** Chevy Express van now. Haven't crushed any animals with my work vehicle yet.

So far nothing with my WS6, but a few years ago I ran over a coon with the minivan. It was night and I didn't see any damage. The next morning it was stinking! The coon (or what was left of it) wrapped around the exhaust and was quite rank. A trip to the car wash had me blasting out chunks of meat until the quarters ran out. Talk about nasty.

Nailed a deer in the G35 sedan about three months ago (thank God I just dropped the SS off earlier that day to get painted). Did a pretty good amount of damage to the front (not totaled). Funny part after the anger was watching the sob do about 4-5 360's before rolling down a cliff (the deer not the car).
