Ok so this morning at like 4:40 Mark L (pontiacMark), Brad P (pontiacbrad), and myself were out in brads Granprix. Mark was driving, Brad was was reading his tourque numbers with the new plug and play and i was in the back. We made one very sucessful pull and got some pretty surprising results, then we went for one more so Mark guns it and right as the the rev limiter was getting a beating we all saw this like 10 week old kitten running in front of the car and Mark suddenly hit the brakes and then THUD. We turned around and drove back and we couldn't find anything, there was no sign of a cat anywhere. So we pulled into Brads drive way and we checked under the front of his car and all we could see is a spot that had been brushed clean of dirt and it was obvious that ths is where the lil guy hit but still no sign. We went a second time to where we thought we hit it and nothing so we have no idea where it went. This is truely a sad Caturday to remember. BTW you could see where he hit the cat on the TRQ readout
Brad and Mark feel free to add to the story.

I hate hitting animals with my car.
Where i live there are thousands and thousands of pecan trees,so there are thousands of squirrels.
It's inevitable that you will hit one now and then and i hate it.

I hit a raccoon with rocket not to long ago and it smashed in my rad, broke the black plastic piece that runs across the bottom of the bumper and my bumper is slightly deformed now.

i only hit birds... i hit 3 with my caddillac in the same hour.
about a month ago i was driving my GF's Rav 4 and a bird was siting in the middle of the road. i saw it but forgot the brakes. it jumped up to fly away and found the front bumper.
i felt the thud in the gas pedel. when i looked back there was nothing but a wisp of feathers in the air. i drove back to where i had hit the poor fella and it was nowhere to be found.
FIN,

my last kill was a bird, I was on the back roads of Middletown and a bunch of birds flew up from the side of the road from the grass and i heard a plunk but I wasn't sure where it hit.
Needless to say, when I got back to the shop, I look at my delivery sign and see a blood spot with feathers......

It does feel awful to hit an animal... especially a domestic animal.
I hit a cat in my Mustang; I was going under the speed limit, and it ran out at the last second. I would have had to drive into a tree to avoid it. The owners of the car saw the whole thing go down, too. I rushed to its attention, but unfortunately the cat had passed minutes later. The owners appreciated me stopping to care for it during its last minutes... they sincerely knew there was nothing I could have done.

That happened to me with my Cutlass a few years ago! Small dent, scared the hell out of me...
Maybe it was the same deer, lol.
