Just a stupid question, Anybody know where i can get some confirmed kill stickers of various animals, I got 1 more racoon this weekend which puts me at 5 confirmed racoons kills with my alero death machine ( i am finally an ace driver), you used to be able to find them pretty easily but ehh, not to sound nasty, but is traction control exposed to turn on after you hit an animal, or.....

Normal people as a rule of thumb try not to hit wild animal that are crossing the road, and the fact that you want little stickers to put on your car to show the fact that you enjoy doing it sickens me.

^come up here and ride with someone who owns a pickup. You hit lots of animals. Rabbits while on snowmobiles are especially fun.
As for the sticker, try ebay. I've seen them around so i'm sure you can still get them. All you really need is to find a picture of one on the internet and bring it to a local decal shop.

hahaha I laughed so hard when I read that... Alero Death Machine!
When I first got my car I hit a cat straight on that decided to jump into the front end of my car. It hit the car, rolled over the hood, roof and off the trunk. I had a stream of cat guts from front to back on my car. Despite my cleaning efforts, my animal-lover girlfriend pointed out the next day that I had cat fur stuck under the windsheild wiper.
I'm so glad my sunroof was closed. The cat fur remained on my wipers until I got new wipers, that was my confirmed kill sticker.

I think I hit a skunk one time... The whole drivers side of the car smelt like it and so did both wheels.... Let me tell you, nothing like the smell of HOT skunked up brakes.... I got sick one night coming home from work... I just couldn't stand the smell...

Wow... even living kind of in the middle of nowhere and driving home from work at midnight for two years... and living in the UP of MI for 3 years with the car... I have yet to hit anything. You people need to pay better attention.

Sometimes it's impossible to NOT hit them.... I've almost wrecked my car trying to miss a possum. So if they run in front of my car, I'm most likely going to hit them... I still hit my brakes and everything, I just won't swerve as much as I use to. lol The skunk, I didn't even see... I didn't even know I hit it until that hot brake/skunk smell came into the car and made me sick.

In my opinion, animals should pay better attention. I don't understand the people that risk crashing nice vehicles to spare the lives of an animal. I would never make any major evasive manoeuvres to avoid hitting something aside from slowing down and letting it run. This excludes animals large enough to mess up the car or kill me (moose).

I always seem to see them with plenty of time to stop safely or find room to manuever. That said, I'll probably nail a deer on my way home today, I saw 4 of them on Friday.

Well it was my first time, I love my car and don't want animal guts all over it..... I didn't swerve THAT much but when getting myself back on the road all the way, my car started to fish tail a couple times before finally getting back under control.

I've had a couple deer run out in front of my car, but they were always far enough to give me time to slow down and miss them. There's a family of deer that live next to the road I take to go to and from work. They are ALWAYS there at night. They don't fear cars....

I don't intentially hit animals, but when I do it's unavoidable.
So far I've only hit a big porcupine. bend my mesh grill, and I had to pick about 30 quills out of my radiator.

Yeah... in my 7 years of driving I have yet to hit an animal bigger than a gopher. Even in the middle of winter driving through Alberta going 120km/hr on snow and having deer cross the road I still had enough time to slow down and drive around them. If you've hit that many animals clearly you don't know how to drive your car.

I hit a bear going 140 in my Escort... it lived - or at least lived shortly before going to die somewhere.
Only had a small dent in the fender.

lol, took out a deer in my dad's astro van going 60 mph. it wasn't pretty. van died and deer lost its head.
also took out a raccoon with the corvette. it got stuck in the wheelwell.
michigan is a dangerous place for animals.

in concern to hitting skunks, i think that was the second unconfirmed kill i had, i heard it hit, and smelt it and so i sprayed the underbody for 45 minutes to try and get the skunk out, but anyway, i took her into wal mart the next day get the oil changed, the manager said he would put his new guy on the job for changing the oil.......kinda hoped they would find the tail sheared off or something
In concern to marking road kill.... I do not go out looking for things to kill, it is just nature, this time of year, rather 3 weeks ago and the month prior were a prime breeding time for skunks and also when Raccoon bring out their litters from hiding, I apologize for my cander, but i dont know how many times i have had to grab the wheel from somebody who thinks that swirving and losing control of a car is better than hitting an animal. besides there is a noted over population of raccoons in my area, and always will be. anywho

Sorry man. You just set me off...
Humans impose on animals with roads, Vehicles, pollution, everything else. If we stick a 8 lane blacktop in the middle of their habitat, what the hell is a rabbit supposed to do? I think the way you went about that was horrible and selfish. How would you like to be on the road and get leveled by a car. How about just your lower half? the car can just ride on and leave you with crushed organs, bones, and everything. Just leaving you there and letting you die on the road in the middle of nowhere.
It would look good on you going by the way you're talking.
Some people do go to a dangerous extent to avoid an animal, However, An animal is still a life. It doesn't matter if you're driving a Lexus, Porsche, or a damn Oldsmobile, If you can avoid hitting an animal safely, do so. Don't be a fucking dick.

i have had my fair share of animal/car collisions in the 12 years ive driven... i have hit anything from a bird, that made no attempt to move, i drove over it, it rolled about 15 times, then flew away in a staggaring direction... ive hit 3 skunks, lucky enough to not get sprayed!!! i have also hit a rabbit... when there is 30 of the lil guys bouncing down the middle of the road, and you drive slowly past them, and all of a sudden one thinks its a better idea to turn left, rather than follow the rest of the pack by going right, its hard to miss... i have also had a flock of birds do the same thing... and i will also admit, i have almost wrecked my car trying to avoid some raccoons, late at night driving home, very tired, and all of a sudden, on one shoulder i see one set of eyes, then on the opposite shoulder i see another set of eyes, i figure i was safe to go through, then all of a sudden i see 4 more sets of eyes on the road... it was a family, mother leading, kids, then father following... i hit the brakes, slid to a stop besides them, and the father raccoon kinda gave me a nod of appreciation for making the effort to spare his children and not being careless and driving right on through... sometimes its inevitable to avoid them, other times you can do everything to spare a life... i guess some people just dont appreciate the wild life enough anymore... its all going too subburban now, and its pathetic...
but thats just my 2 cents worth...:dry:

I'm not being a dick, I don't like harming animals. But I'm not going swerve a 3000lb peice of metal at 100km to avoid a rabbit. I was joking about animals being more cautious, they were obviously here first. A life is a life but I think I can make a bigger impact in the world than a rodent - I'll choose my life over Alvin and his chipmunk buddies.

In PA, hitting an animal like a deer (damage to car) it's comsidered a "comp" claim, not a collision, but swerve to miss it and hit something else, it's a collision

Yeah my cousin ended up in someone elses garage because she swirved to miss a friggin squirrel.
All I hit was a squirrel on it's tail. I saw the thing flying in the air in my rear view mirror, and running to the side of the road. Hopefully the fella is doing OK. :(

Same here.
In the transport if I swerve to miss a animal and ditch the truck. they are going to say i fell asleep while driving. Sorry fuzzy little animal 120,000 lbs doesn't go any further than the shoulder, if that far. I will not do a large swerve either or stand on the brakes . I dont want to but...
Don't blow the horn either. They think a it's a mating call or something.
