well i almost died in the 240 on my home from pa

[sil80forme]

i almost died and i fucked up the car at the same time, well its only a scratch and the pass. side turn signal doesn't work now. sooo, i was doin bout 85 down I-40 which the speed limit is 70. and out of nowhere theres this big ass tire, well the outer shell of a big rigs tire in the middle of the road. by the time i saw it, it was too late, i swerved but still hit it and i swear the pass. side of my car got air and i came down at an angle. and tires screeched. let me tell u it was not fun at all. swerving all over trying to correct at 80mph is not easy, but i did and i am OK. and more importantly the car is OK as well.

[csdcowboy]

Glad you're okay...could've been a lot worse too!

[Andrew Bohan]

good job

i swerved that fast before. fun times, fun times

[aznpoopy]

ryousuke takahashi style crash avoidance

nice work ;)

[caall99]

more importantly YOU are ok! a car can be fixed, but depending on the situation you can't. when i got into my accident, it was 2 days after i finished my sr swap. i didn't have collision insurance. it was wet out, and i went into an over steer in a right hand turn. my drivers front fender took out a full size streetlight. i then went into a spin and continued to take out a mailbox, fence and ended up in a fire hydrant. the mailbox could have come through my window and taken my head off. also when i hit the street light it exploded my drivers side view mirror in my face. luckily, i was wearing my glasses. eitherway, the car is fixed and straightened and it runs beautifully. i walked away with some blood coming out of my ear and a piece of glass in my arm. i am glad your ok, it could have been a bad accident.

[crioten]

best bet is to sometimes just plow through whatever is in your way... and brace yourself to hit it

sometimes the damage is less from hitting it than say, doing a 360 into a light pole...

its funny how people will dodge a squirel and hit a parked car... do you really need to save the squirles life or your wallets thickness?

[Jcb890]

i try and drive into the squirrels.

[i8yourfwd]

my car loves the taste of squirrels and rabbits just as much as it loves to eat cones

[ALTRNTV]

i try and drive into the squirrels.

hahahaha :rawk:

[ThatGuy]

Most Law Enforcement Agencies will tell you to hit whatever is in the road (deer, tire, etc., etc.) rather then swerve. Swerving tends to lead to larger accidents. However, your reaction was normal, and I'm glad to hear you are ok.

[SRkouki]

i hit a deer once. i was in this small touge nearby my house and a fucking deer comes out of nowhere. i was going about 30-40mph when it happened. i thought my front end was going to be done for but luckily the deer tried to jump out of the way!!! to bad its dumbass jumped straight up instead of to the side because its hoove landed on my hood as i drove under it. it eneded up cracking my hood and some blood on my bumper but when i went back to kill the deer it was gone. i hope it died

[kandyflip445]

I've hit one of those shed tire carcass things before on I-40 just outside of Asheville. I just plowed right through it then I did a steering check by switching lanes and everything was fine. It seems to happen more around there then it does here with the trucks that transport cattle. Kansas doesn't have as bad elevation changes though. Not even close.

[neilsan]

Ive seen those things fly off. Its really fucking scary.

Retreadded tires should be ILLEGAL.

[TheSnail]

Is it just me or does any one else make a sport out of running over pinecones that are in the street? Preferably the ones that are not already crushed.

[ThatGuy]

Hahahaha, I do that too snail! Then you have to check the rearview for the "carnage".

[ranisron]

what if the animal/object is a skunk?? I barely missed one in my altima, and my dr. side fender smelled like shit for weeks.... THAT was ugly and nasty and not good... my dr. side tire stinked, too... :(

[caall99]

who ever is into killing wild life should be shot, not once, but twice in the head. this goes for Jcb890, i8yourfwd and especially SRkouki. "i hope it died"??!! are u fucking retarded? i for one care about animals, no matter what size or domestic value, it is a living creature after all. i am not trying to be the pussy gay guy, i am just trying to make u aware of the fact that a life is a life, and all should be treated equally.

I go after plastic bottles and stuff. Fun stuff.

That's the routine :). Everything gets quiet 3sec before running it over, just so you can hear the crunch an feel the bump. Followed by looking in the rear view with satisfaction. Though there's nothing worse then anticipating the crunch and missing the bastard. But I get about 90% of them. :)

Wow. Calm dowm you PETA fanatic. :fawk:

[Ian]

once i drifted into a bird...it was kinda sad...i had to wash the blood off my 1/4 panel

[OdessaS13]

yeah skunks are the worst, i smashed a skunk with my maxima before, it went between my front to tires ( i really did not want to hit that shit but i couldnt sverve becuse it was sort of an offramp at 1am) so it went between my two front tires and got ran over by my rear driver side tire. That was the worst smelling 2-3 months of my life :barf: . i finally went under the car with bleach and a steel wire brush for 2 hours, it surta helped.

and how the hell do you drift into a bird lol

[theicecreamdan]

my sister nailed a tire in her Altima,,, nasty dent in the bumper

[Gnnr]

Yeah guys, save the squirrles and the bunnies mmmmkaaay! :ghey: :fruit:

I'm surprised some animals are smart enough to walk, far as well running across the street. Take this pic for example. How retarded can that animal be to get run over by a street line maker that travels at 1/2 of a mile per hour. Thats just like that bit from AustinPowers http://www.bikersrights.com/general/images/roadkill.jpg

[kandyflip445]

Man...I got stuck behind one of those line painters today on the highway. It took forever before we got to a passing zone.

so... you want a deer that probably had its legs and hips shattered from running into a car to drag itself around for days and days while it slowly starves to death instead of die immediately from the crash without suffering?

[caall99]

allright, i give up, i guess everybody is a redneck, and likes to kill animals for sport. i got nothing...

sorry man but i aint gona swerve for the poor deer so i can fly off a cliff and die. human life > animal life....

[caall99]

i realize that, but i still have a feeling that some people on here find running over animals entertaining

[SochBAT]

This has become a "i swerved enough to save myself" to a "i like running over wildlife" thread. And im loving it. I crush whatever is in the streets, cans, boxes, children. The awesome CRUNCH is truely worthwhile. Especially if it also moans, "owww, MOMMY!!" Its like a donkeypunch.

Last time, i dodged a drunk person dancing on the streets. I didn't hear the crunch, just a "YOU SPILLED MY BEAR!" yes, he said bear.

[kandyflip445]

Damn you Michael Jackson. :rofl:

[kuruptR]

I must have a near death experience once a week. weird.

[ranisron]

if you were able to swerve out of the way of a skunk and crashed:
you 0, skunk +1
if you ran over a skunk between tires:
you 0, skunk +1

kills the skunks!

skunk always wins :D

most deff off topic, but heres what i used to do. i worked at an airport, and i used to get bored waiting for planes to arrive. i used to try and run over every pine cone on the ramp/taxi way with the 12,000lb tug. for some reason, i too get satisfaction from smashing pine cones. weird.

this is a tug:

http://images.airliners.net/middle/0/3/7/894730.jpg

the little tractor thing is called a tug. the ones we had, we sat facing the airplane and youstear much like a zero turn lawnmower. weighed 12,000 lbs. yes 12,000 lbs of pine cone crushing force!

[axiomatik]

That thing weighs 12,000 lbs? It's the size of a golf cart, it must be machined out of a solid block of iron.

That reminds me of myself yesterday, riding to my old neighborhood to shoot the shit with some old friends...
Some dude was on a bicycle, approaching an intersection, at about a speed that appeard very likely that I MIGHT hit him if he didn't stop (strike 1)... He had a stop sign to concede to, I had no such sign, this motherfucker likely did not see the sign because he was on the sidewalk (strike 2) and HE didn't have on a helmet (strike 3). Did I hit the brakes? FUCK no, it'd have been purely his fault and I would have placed the fear of GOD in that woman in the car behind me to keep her at the scene as the only witness as I called the cops before even calling for medical help for him.


... unfortunately, I WON this game of chicken, as HE tried like hell to stop, somehow managing to get across the street behind me and in front of the woman behind me.

nah man, i dunno about that particular tug. the 2 we had were much different than that. i just posted an example of what they are and what they do. we had a 6k lb tug and the big 12k lb. torqie little bastards. little deisels that we ran on jet A. no turbo though... booo. i have pictures somewhere, but i cant find em.. :bigok:
