......poor defenseless little chipmunk.

I was on my way home from getting plastic bowls (honey-do list), and a few bottles at the liquor store(personal-do list heh) when I chipmunk darted in front of my mean machine. My mean machine happens to be a little four-banger civic and I could have sworn the little critter was going to dart back into the grass but instead he hunkered down as I drove over him. I'm not entirely sure whether it is dead, I'm half tempted to check, but when I looked in my rear view the little rodent wasn't moving. Now I think I passed over him with out touching. On the other hand I did hear something so the little cutie pie may have fallen victim to the evil of the Honda corporation.

In light of this most recent tragedy I propose we take a stance against vehicles that commit needless animal slaughter. You must ban the vehicles to protect the chipmunks!

I totalled a car avoiding hitting a cat when I was a teenager, just bad luck I swerved only a bit but there was a telephone phone inches off the curb and it caught the right front of my car at 45 mph. Year or two later I had a rabbitt jump out in front of my car, no swerving that time, sorry Bugs....

Mallard Duck + low front end of nissan pulsar = pretty much decapitated duck.

I felt bad.

Adam, the turbulence or whatever under the car might have sucked him up into hitting your undercarriage, if that's what you think you heard. He might have survived. But he'll have one helluva headache tomorrow.

OOh there was no swerving for me. I don't brake or swerve for animals unless they're big. If they're in the rodent category they're roadkill. Once we start approaching deer and other things with antlers/horns I might think twice in a little car like a civic. When I get a real truck back again I'll upgrade my animal fears to things like moose, elk, and large black bears.

ROFL you should get one of those thing on your truck like on a train... what is it called? like a cattle catch or something. Then you will only have to worry abou elephants

About 10 years ago I had a 1987 Toyota 4 runner with a slight lift and big ass mudders.....I hit a deer that was laying in the road and it brought the entire front end about 2 ft off the ground! That was scarry as hell!

What is the matter with you guys. Sounds like lunch to me.
Aren't there a few states where it's legal to take home and eat anything you kill with your car?
