Behind a Clubman on rural Ohio roads this past Saturday.
Bunny decides to cross the road, it zigs, the Clubby zags, hits bunny with both front and rear tires. Flips bunny in air...I zigged, missed the corpse. Like I really need another smushed critter in my grill. I've had my fair share already.
I hit a cat January 1. It was dark on a 2 lane country road. It was facing the opposite way on the shoulder so no tale-tail glowing eyes. By the time I saw it there was not time to slow down. It then decided it needed to cross the street right now. I heard the thunk and no doubt it was dead. I feel a bit guilty for not stopping but really what was there to do? Anyway I got to my friends house a few minutes later, I get out and notice a large chunk of my front aero kit is missing. Next day I take a closer look my radiator, condenser, core support, radiator fan are all broken/bent(no leaks). Insurance covered it all.
They do say it is better to hit the animal than try and swerve but when you know what kind of damage it could do it's hard to do.
