You don't want to run into a kangaroo if you're going anywhere from 80+kmh...it can do major damage to your car and to you. In the Northern Territory there are no speed limits so if you decide to take your car out and push it to 200+kmh you better hope that you don't run into a roo as neither of you will be walking away.

Quick way to take out all the windows in your vehicle... hit an adult deer riding along the expressway. The force of impact is... amazing.
BTW, it doesn't do much for the deer, either [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ever hit a moose? They're like deer, in the fact that they don't move out of the way, no matter what you do...except they weigh as muc has cows! We hit one coming home from Dartmoth college in New Hampshire and the collision knocked out half of our windshield...my mom was pretty freaked out too

Many years ago now, back when my dad was in the brittish army, he was stationed in malasya.
Anyway as they were moving their trucks from base to base, if they ever came across a boa constrictor lying on the road they were not allowed to run over it, they had to wait for it to cross and if it didn't they waited longer. Because many vehichles had run over them in the past, and it seems the snake curl up and squeezes the vehichle, which actually bent the chassie. Can you imagine a huge snake lying across the road, and if you run it over it squeeses your truck? kinda scary if you ask me, especially if you don't see it lying there. |

Having seen real wild reticulated pythons in the jungle, I assure you, they cannot squeeze a truck, unless it was a very, very small truck.

Well, you said the Chassis, not the Wheel Axle or such. No biggie though.

A deer hit us once...yup, I meant that ...it ran right into the side of our car as we were slowly inching forward through traffic after a play, late one night. Took out the drivers side mirror and the winshield while denting up the side and hood of the car pretty badly.

Heh...I see so many roadkills everyday...I mostly see dears and elks. Some times a cat or dog. The most nastiest one I have ever seen was a dog with all his guts all over the highway.
