What Large Amounts Of Road Kill You Have.

[Aif]

howdy,

i've notice in the last 2 weeks in canberra that there seems to be an obscene amount of road kill, mainly big F76k off roo's. next week im moving to gordon, and have to drive to fyshwick and back along the manaro hwy around 3pm and 1am ish,

how can i prevent my car getting smashed?

or

how long do u think i've got left to enjoy the shape of my r33?

Aif

just keep your eyes open on the road, and don't speed.

Buy a landcruiser with a f**k off bull bar and speed up and aim, its fun

I drive on a 100km/h back road to work and its full of kangaroos and bunnies, have had a few close calls with kangaroos but havent hit any yet, I've nailed a few bunnies in the skyline though, never fun to clean... Just keep an eye out and if you see a kangaroo near the road start slowing down, can never tell what they are going to do

[skybarge]

get a car trailer and borrow a cheap $500 honda, they work very nicely, managed to kill 13 possums, 2 rabbits and something unknown within 30 minutes of driving on a rural road out here

If you manage to hit a roo though, hit it with the passenger side of the car, because the honda will crumple it'll look cool though and you could brag to all your mates about it

i havent hit anything along there yet, and i've been driving along that rd for years during all hours of the night/day. you do see roo's though, so try not to speed. i did hit a roo once in my 31, but that was along Long Gully rd (very close to monaro hwy). car wasn't too badly damaged, but it did have blood all up the side of it. looked awesome!

My stats:

Got hit 4 times to kangaroos. We've killed 3 roos - One had to be shot down by ranger because it was injured - Joey was taken away by the ranger. Front/quarter panel damages on the Echo, twice.

Another time, a Kangaroo tried to jump over the car, hit from the rear, minor damage to rear plastic wheel guards.

MR2 killed 2 birds and 1 possum.

They just jump out of no where, you can't avoid them. Once you killed 1 or 2, it won't shock you.

I heard that hitting a wombat is pretty bad.

hitting a wombat is awful.... i hit one doing 60kph in my MX-6, which had 18's, 30 profile tyres and rock hard suspension (ouch!). it launched the front of my car about 1m into the air and landed with an almight thump! i thought i drove over a boulder!

wombat has thick skulls, they can kills pig hunting dogs.

and they poop cubes. You know they are dangerous when creatures poop cubes.

I took out a bird while overtaking in my 33 at about 130km once, Flew straight in the path of my car and went SMACK into my windscreen then got tossed backwards over the top of my car...

Damn thing put a small smudge on my windscreen!

I had a mate that hit a HORSE on the way to the snow once. he was going about 80. the car was destroyed. it was an old school mazda 626. the poor horse got up and staggered to the side of the road and died.

haha i hit a bird in my old car (Hyundai Accent), bird managed to get in between rear window and antenna while i was going about 60km. Destroyed the antenna the day before someone was coming to inspect it...

I was driving from Moulamein to Deniliquin one night in the work vehicle - a Landcruiser with a winch and bullbar - and I hit three roo's in a group. Blood and guts everywhere.

The next day we drove into Deni for lunch and when we came out [to get in the vehicle and go back to work] there were two stray dogs licking the bullbar.

Ohh yeah, and the impact bent the bar a bit and tore the front number plate off. Never did find that plate.

My mate was supposed to put down a horse in a paddock. It was apparently the ONLY horse in the paddock.. so he shot it after saying, "What now.. b!tch!?"

The next day we woke up and was questioned by the owner why we didn't put the horse down.

Coincedently, the neighbours were missing a horse.

EDIT: BTW, I haven't hit anything yet *touch wood*
