Have you ever hit an animal with your car? How much damage did it do?

My son hit a racoon coming off the freeway because a Semi was riding his ass and he was afraid if he stopped the semi would hit him. I am glad he didn't get in an accident with a semi but my front bumper is wrecked and I can't afford to fix it so I guess my car just has character now. Feel bad for the racoon he said he was going about 50 when he hit it.

I was 16 with my brand-new driver’s license. I was driving my family to a church event when a beagle dog darted in front of my car.

The dog was dead and I was devastated. My Dad went with me to knock on the door of the nearest house. I couldn’t even talk, sobbing hysterically.

The man who opened the door was fairly baffled by an hysterical teenager and her Dad.

As it developed, this man bred beagles and had about two dozen in kennels.

He was tall and bent over to me and said, “Honey, it’s okay.”

It wasn’t okay to me. But there was no damage to the car. Just to the beagle and me.
