Wabbit twouble...
Working the antique venue in my area, so I have to drive some country roads early in the morning to get there. Monday morning a massive sized rabbit ran out in front of me, and I hit it at about 50-60 mph. Made my CD skip and gave the car quite a thump. Broke my fascia, fog light, and grille, so I now I gotta use some of my show money to fix that. It popped the corner marker out also, but I was able to pop that back in.
Just sharing my story. You can see the hair to the left of the foglight. Big bunny+littlle car=

Re: Wabbit twouble...
Reading the thread title I was sure this was gonna be about an encounter with a VW R32 or tuned GTI... Sorry to hear about the monstrous rodent. I almost got t-boned the other day by a 2004 model 10 point whitetail deer. The SRT has good brakes...

Re: Wabbit twouble...
Ah, this brings back memories!
When in high school, a very long time ago, I had a date with a very hot summer girl. I borrowed by dad's Buick and off we went to a movie theater some 15 miles away while I had teenage visions of the night ahead. Enroute I was surprised by a suicidal bunny that jumped out in front of me. After a loud bang, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw no bunny. Reassuring my near hysterical date I convinced her the bunny had probably made it to the bushes and would be shaken but OK. She settled down to my relief.
When we got to the theater, I first looked at the front of my dad's car to check for damage. To my chagrin, the bunny had taken a nose drive through the grill of my dad's car!. His head was on one side and his body on the other and was kicking like hell. My date became hysterical and screamed that I couldn't leave him like that and he was pain. I gently try to work him through the grill but he justed kicked harder and the girl screamed more. Finally, after trying every option and in panic, I pulled out my handy Boy Scout pen knife and cut his head off. There, he no longer was in pain and I had him out of the grill. But I forgot about the girl! She screamed ran into a nearby store, called her dad and never talked to me again!

Re: Wabbit twouble...
That is a hilarious story, crossbow. i'm sure she was afraid of what was in her future after the bunny had to give head to get out of the situation it was in. LOL!!!!!
A number of years ago in very rural WI, I was out for the evening with my ex-wife's cousin, and we were bar hopping. Now of course being rural it was several miles between stops, and being generally deserted we tore down the roads as fast as we dared.
Sure enough, at about 80 mph in my Olds Firenza a skunk waddling across the road gets whacked and I hear it thumping on the floorpan as I go over it.
About 6 more miles down the road I'm still smelling that skunk, and when we get to the next watering hole it's pretty much overwhelming the two of us. My passenger looks under the car, gets up, looks over the hood, and says, "your car". I know what I'm going to find when I look under there. That thing was hung up on on about 6 different pieces of the car, and I had all I could do to take it out of there, one piece at a time!
That was the end of our travels that night because I couldn't go anywhere without the entire bar emptying out.
