I was with someone who hit an electric breaker box. The person in front swerved too suddenly. Took a chunk out of the tire.

Re: The weirdest thing you've ever run over?

I ran over a light bulb the other day. Luckly it didn't damage my tire.

I have seen a seagull get run over though. I was walking down the street, on my way to the donut store and two seagulls were on the road fighting over a scrap of food. Along came a truck and it ran over one of the seagulls, right across its back. I was close enough to see the guts squirt out of its mouth. After that I didn't really feel like donuts...

I found out i had a flat tire, which was ok cuz i was getting new ones nthe next week. so i ask my sister to move her car from the garage, and she did. i pull in the garage and get out and i hear a hissing sound. I immeadatly thought OH SH!T an got to the side the hissing was on only to find that i had just ran over a nail, with my brand new front tire.

i was driving in downtown LA right near the cop shop, with 2 other people in the car at around 2 in the morning, when we saw a something waddling slowly across the street a block ahead and lo and behold...it was a duck.

My friends screamed to floor it, I did and i honked madly to make it go fly away.


the duckie didnt fly away.

i heard a small thud, we looked out the back of the window, and the duck was still there. I drove to the spot a couple minutes later, and the duck was sitting in the road still, with its head hunched between its wings it was moving its head about like it was drunk. holy shit. i thought. i made a duck retarded! my friends told me to put it out of it's misery, but i guess i didnt have the guts to do it. i picked it up and put it on the sidewalk so it wouldnt get hit again.

that kinda ruined the night.

I have hit many snakes. There everywhere here and always sunning on the hot roads. Mind you I dont go after hitting any living thing (other then bugs & snakes) But one time I had a duck fly in front of me. I was going the better side of 70 MPH. It hit the grill \ front bumper. It looked just like some one tossed a down pillow out. Just POOF feathers went flying. I felt bad but was just

My own foot.

If you ever ride one of those lethal Honda 3 wheeler ATCs, never put your foot down.
A buddy of mine managed to run himself over with a Ferguson tractor. He was standing beside it trying to start it by bridging the starter solenoid with a screwdriver, not realising he left it in gear. Well, it started just fine, and went right over him. He had tractor tire rash from head to toe.

My brother ran over a truck transmission with a Subaru. He was driving down the highway behind a loaded tractor trailer when the truck transmission exploded. The gear clusters, input and output shafts and big chunks of housing went all over the road at highway speed Well, those chunks of Eaton Roadranger did about $2000 of damage to the Sube.
