I hit a deer once but the only road kill was my XJ the deer got up and ran off. 5K in damage. I was shocked when insurance repaired it rather than total it out.

I havent ever ran anything over in my XJ, but one late night i was coming home in my Malibu and ran over a possum.. The car sits so low it felt it bounced all underneath it when i went over it. The next morning, i looked under the car and found all kinds of white hair stuck to the mufflers.. Living in a mountain area, ive ran over coons, foxes, possums, squirrels and hit a few deer... inwhich the deer i always brought home..

I would never run over anyones animal on purpose. Someone would carry an *** whoopin' if they purposily ran over one of mine. I understand not risking your own life to miss an animal, but when you deliberately do it, you dont deserve to even breathe in my book.

Almost forgot, damn near hit a couple cows at about 65mph in the middle of the highway at night. Didnt have high beams on cause they weren't workin and the cows were black and they were just over a hill. Mashed the breaks and did a little swerving (sittin on 6.5in lift), whipped the jeep around and started flashing lights at the car not to far behind me. They woulda been gonners.

Oh ok, if u put it that way...nope, it is still pretty mean.

I haven't killed anything yet, but I know I've wanted to run over some people who talk s#*t about my XJ.

Agree with ya on that, I have seen animals run into vehicles though and that is just hilarious.

Speaking of which, lol, was driving down another country road at dusk. Spotted a deer standing on the side of the road (opposite side I was traveling). So I slowed down, waiting for it to run, in either direction. So now I'm doing about 15mph, as I go to pass by the deer, I see it turn and run at me, haha. I scooted over as far as possible (LH tires almost off the shoulder of the road), but of course the deer head butted my rear door . No damage to jeep or deer, lol.

My old BMW got ran into by a deer. Driving along down the highway, hear my mom scream and the deer drills my driver door flipping over my trunk and ran off. Thankfully just bent up my antenna and put a small hole in my taillight.

So is stealing, but then again, they are squirrels, its ok cuz the are "cute" right?

Sorry, fair is fair. Its really not mean at all.

Mean is sitting in a tree with a high powered rifle waiting for an unarmed amimal to come within range so you can blast it.

And in that respect, yup, your damn right I'm mean!

Yes it is, i used to have a Austrilian Blue Heeler that was retard'o, it would run down my drive way at every car, 90% of the time would hit the car but never got ran over. Needless to say i put him in a dog pin before it ended up costing me any repairs on someones vehicle lol.

My wife hit 3 deer all in the same year with my XJ. One on the passenger side just glanced off of door. No dents and deer still alive. The second deer went down the drivers side of the xj. His a$$ hit the drivers window without breaking and slid down the side pushing the door handles in a little bit. Not really any damage done. Handles still work. The last deer was climbing up a hill toward her drivers side then seen the xj and panicked. The deer tried to turn but ran out of ground and slid on the road on his side and wife ran over the deer, killing it. Farmer seen it happen and took it for the meat. Still no damage was done. It's a Jeep thing, they wouldn't understand!
