lol no I'm being serious. I was doing about 80 in a 70 zone (the same speed everyone does on that road) about 1 hour ago and i saw it about 4 seconds away then by 2 seconds I realised it wasn't a plastic bag.

The poor little guy was wadling as fast as he could, but I didn't have time to swerve enough. Thud thud

No damage to the Soarer though

Sorry Byron, I didn't mean to offend.
I have had the same thing happen and I know it's not a nice feeling to harm anything.

I been hit twice as a pedestrian (seriously), does that make me a duck, or just someone who should run faster?

Both times I went up and over, NOT Buddum Buddum.

hmm makes me think of an incident the other day. i successfully swerved some 12 packs of toilet paper coming of the back of a truck..was thinking was all ok again as i approached a flock of pigeons. well knowing they would have plenty of time to fly away as i was doing 50 on a local street i was not concerned...that is until they started bouncing off my windscreen! feathers everywhere. i didnt stop to check the body count. am i jinxed?

OK, I work in a pet store, so hearing that you ran over an animal doesn't enthrall me in the least bit. But, being that wild life has less common sense and breeds considerably more so than we do.. seriously, bunnys!!! Its ok, think of it as controlling the population in the worst way I guess.

Katrina you make it sound like I planned it all out!

It was an accident! I feel terrible! But I would have felt 1 000 000 times worse if it was a small child (and i mean damn small) so I thank my lucky stars...

Noo, don't feel terrible, its really not all that bad. Its just an occurence that happened with uncontrollable circumstances :-)

I apologize, I didn't mean to offend you. I know what I meant.. but doesn't always mean I can type it correctly :-(
