What's the Worst Thing You've Ever Hit?

[Jihforce]

I'd have to say a deer. :(

[Nanotech9]

nothing - but i did have a drunk girl with no Ins. hit ME and total my motorcycle... :(

2 years later and the court is STILL trying to make her pay up.

[eSDee]

I hit a kid once :sad: He ran out into the street in front of my car, but I managed to swerve in time not to hit him head on. He glanced off my car and ended up with a broken leg :sad:




Made the front page of the paper though! :)

my old aerostar scraped up against a fence at the entrance of the parking lot at my high school. my sis, who was in the passanger seat, told me i had plenty of space. i tap the gas, it lurches forward and *screeeech* heheh. piece o crap car anyhow.

[Ladogaboy]

I've never personally hit anything. Potholes are a way of life where I live, so I don't really count those. Any animal smaller than a deer or dog isn't worth noting.

The only thing I've hit is the corner of our garage (barely nicking the mirror on my truck). I figure the mirror (which is on a swivel) would just rotate around--I'm able to do that by hand, but for some reason, instead of rotating, the mirror flexed and broke. :(

Other than that, my truck has been hit twice by other people (I was only in it one of those times). Anyway, nothing really happened other than they ended up leaving paint on my bumper and fender. :D

Hahaha, yup! :heh:

Some of the roads around here haven't been repaved since the 1950's! :2far:

[theHNIC]

I almost hit a cow that was laying in the middle of the road, but I saw it in the nick of time and managed to go around it. That would have really messed up my car.

[styleee]

well, the worst thing that ever hit me was a man flying through the air at about 115 mph and then landing on my roof, then his motorcycle hit the side of my car, then a police car scraped the side a little more. oh, and then i hit a tree. so i guess the worse thing i ever hit was a tree.

[Memo]

I'd have to say hitting a Neon at about 50-60 MPH is the worst I've ever done. Just gotten off work, was heading over to a party, a friend pulled up next to me and wanted to "race." So, I floored it thinking there weren't many people on the streets past midnight in my hometown. However, it was raining cat's and dogs. Anyways, going down a long stretch of road and about half a mile in front of me there is a Dodge Neon at the stop sign. I figure...well by the time I get there, he's going to have turned (he had a turn signal on) and I'll just run it. Well by the time I got there he HADN'T moved and I HADN'T stopped. Ya, sent that little car flying down the street. Fearing I had killed the driver, I ran to the car in the rain. Girl and a guy get out, about my age. We inspect his car, obviously f'd to hell. He says.."it's cool man." They seemed to be completely out of it. I don't know if they were in shock or if they were drunk/high. I asked if he was SURE he didn't want my insurance. He said no. Not being a dumbass, I hopped in my truck and left before he changed his mind. Got to the party which was about 2 blocks away expecting for my truck to be completely f'd up as well (in my hurry I didn't even check it out at the site of the accident). To my surprise, when I got out to check it. The only thinkg wrong was my custom license plate was bent :(. I unscrewed it, bent it back, and put it on again. Built FORD Tough.

Hmmm:

Possum - I swerved to miss it, it went through my front two tires without injury, but the damn animal kept running and got hit by the back two.

Deer - I was coming to a stop and it decided it wanted to visit with me, dented in the front of my car.

Guardrail - Total wreck of a damn volvo 240 dl at 25 mph! That car hated me. I was very lucky, I must have hit some black ice, skidded into incoming traffic, countered to miss a head on collision, skidded back into oncoming traffic, countered to miss another head on, spun 1080 into the guardrail. I hit every corner on that guard rail and totally destroyed the car. Another bit of luck, the other car was a Suburau GL-10, one of the wedge designs, and the front end would have gone under the rail and flipped over the enbankment. Thus, by a tempt of fate in my choice of car to drive that day, I saved my life.

[Cantacuzene]

[whitak24]

well, let's see:

there was a pontiac sunfire. (see story here) (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36764) basically, didn't hurt the sunfire, totaled my car.

then there was a deer...just a little spike buck, who basically ran into the side of my car, taking out the passenger side mirror and denting the door.

then there was a time when i ran over a dead deer that was in the road (i didn't see it in time to swerve.....that rocked my car, but fortunately didn't damage anything.

[Pinkgirl36]

I hit a HUGE parking coloumn in my old office building, I thought I had cleared it, but it turns out I didn't, and it hurt my car.

And I was backing up in to my best friends driveway and I couldn't see outta my back window and ran over her mail box....ooops.....

[raimin]

I hit a seagull...
prob not worst thing i ever hit, but i think it was very unique.

i was driving through the park, when a pack of seagulls on the side of the road was fighting for some food that people dropped. The closest one to the road, flew back, right as i was passing them, and got dragged under my 240sx.

p.s. thats what they get for $hitting on my car :rolleyes: :nono:

[Jihforce]

I've also hit a bird too...I was driving on the freeway and saw this bird...I kept looking at it and I was like "this bird is flying kind of low...wait...why is it diving towards me?" PLOP! Bounced off my windshield.
The deer was worst...its was 2 young bucks...one got past me and the other would have except when he saw me, he freaked out, slipped, and went down on its knees. Next thing you know, it went flying over my car. Busted my front left headlight, hood, and dented my trunk after landing. $1700 worth of damages.

[Kebbies]

skunk. i was driving in my neighborhood when it ran in my path. i tried to swerve to the right, but my front right tire caught the skunk under it's rubber. guess my reaction time isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

i love the feel of roadkill - the sound of bone and whatever else flying into your wheelwell, the speedbump feel as your car runs it over.

the smell of skunk lasted for a good 3 weeks. stench was so bad, i could smell it through the floorpan.

[hoey222]

hit a telophone pole when i was 17. wrecked my dads isuzu trooper. the car was like 9 months old. i was tuning the radio - the road turned (no shoulder) and i didn't - crunch.

wasn't speeding or drinkin - just not looking at the road.


that was a rough summer.

1.In my wifes GSR. A person speed by and crossed the line on a 2 lane parkway(each direction) and ran head first into one car, then another, then hit a bus and spun right at us. We came to a complete stop and the cars behind us did as well. The spinning car then smashed into my wifes GSR knocking us into the car behind us and so on and so on... Needless to say my wife got a new GSR and some cash.

2. I was picking up my wife's New GSR (she had my 4 door GSR) from the dealership(no lie) and stopped at a the light in front of the dealership. Some dumb ass b*#$ in a Land Rover (with Brama bars)talking on a cell phone took the corner too sharp and hit the parked GSR setting off the air bags and took off the front bumper and driverside fender. The Acura Dealer I just dealt with, saw the whole thing and came running out with a cell phone in one hand calling the police and a digital camera in the other. Just our luck. Another month in a rental. Upgraded it for a Type S after settlement.

3. Stopped at a light in the TL Type S (not brand new but 4 months old) some dumbass fiddling for some thing on the floor rearends me sending me into the intersection to get hit by a dump truck from the Big Dig. Car is totalled and we are now waiting for delivery on 2 MDXs since we got another little on the way.(If anyone wants to buy a 94 GSR 4door[no accidents:)] with a Comptech stainless exhaust and new Z rated Dunlops let me know before some idiot hits me!) My wife is now on month 2 in her rental while we wait for one of the MDX's to arrive.

Let me say that I have had 3 accidents all a zero miles per hour and have had several trips to the hospital and physical therapists. I have wasted more time dealing with lawyers,insurance companies, arbitrators, doctors, therapists, and return vists to my acura dealer for new vehicles than I have cared to. To say there are idiots on the road and beware...

And worst thing is my insurance now calls me high risk because I attract stupid drivers...

P.S.
Only Animal inicident was a humming bird flew through my car passenger window right out the driver side window as I stopped for a light. Weird, but cool at the same time...

Sounds like upgrade by settlement to me...

[Hoser]

There were three crows in the road eating some road kill. As I got closer the two able to see the car took off. Their friend with his back to me did not. He turned around, but it was too late. He hit the bumper, hood, windshield, top of car, back window, and the back of the car. I suppose his friends came back and ate him.

[MrGreg]

Hoser, that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. The first time I read it, I read not "crows" but "cows".. and I damn near fell out of my chair at work.

[progman]

Ladogaboy, where the hell do you live with these potholes?

Oh, one time i hit the porch with the lawnmower. i was like 10. i took out a chunk of the cement porch and screwed up the lawnmower blade.

I hit 2 things one was a seagul when i was just doing freaky shiznit in a parking lot, i saw a whole flock of them sitting on one side, so i went at them at about 60 mph knowing that they would fly up, and they did however this fat one didn't fly up that fast and he hit my windshied, slid up the windshield and pooped on it.

And the other one was an Undercover Police Car, when i was just learnign how to drive i backed up into it :) It was freaky as hell cause it was a day after the whole amadu diallo thing, and they ran out with guns and what not

[Jenny]

Oh good gosh, this thread made me laugh so hard that my stomach is hurting and I was crying. :heh:

Lessee, I was in high school and hadn't had my license long, I don't think. My parents had a station wagon still. I wanted to practice driving (you know how it is when you are 16...) so I drove it down to our mailbox (we lived about 1/4 mile off the road and the mailbox was by the road). I angled wrong (trying not to hit the mailbox) and got the car stuck in the ditch. :heh: It took a neighbor's tractor to pull the car out.

Then not too long after that (well, not like weeks, but several months), we drove up to Oklahoma City to eat dinner and shop at the mall. My dad drove and pulled up the door of the restaurant and let me get in the driver's seat and park the car by myself. I tried to turn a tight corner and got the passenger side of the station wagon stuck on the back corner bumper of a parked car. lol Took my dad 10 minutes to get it unstuck. No damage at all to either car, thank goodness. I was SOOOO embarassed.

When I was 4 months pregnant with Josh, I was waiting to turn (turning left, across the oncoming traffic). I had my signal on and everything. A truck was speeding up behind me and at the last minute, changed lanes without signaling and a little car behind him didn't see me in time and creamed into the back of my car. Luckily no one was hurt but my car was totaled. :P
