Default Road kill...

Sad I hit a fox, but even more sad I'm missing a fog light now. No idea HOW that one happened, I was changing CDs and heard a thump, looked back and my fog light was smashing against the ground behind me, I'm thinking how the hell did that fall off? I get home and just think, no way in hell!

he he try that with a fiberglass bar. i hit one going to work one morning when i had my ricer, driving along at 95km/h saw it and said sh!te, then bang.

i thought i hit it with the wheels as it was dark and couldn't see any damage until i came home during the day... the entire left hand side of my bar below the headlight was smashed, bits missing and driving light gone.

bloody foxes. :
good enough excuse to sell the rice and buy another ford :

I hit a fox in my dad's NF Fairlane once... Came over a big rise at fairly high speed, and there's the poor bugger in the headlights, standing with his head up, clearly thinking "crikey, that car sounds close..."

Fortunately he went underneath without damaging anything... Pretty unlucky to have it take out a foglight!
