The weirdest thing you've ever run over?

I think the title says it all...animal, inanimate object, whatever. What's the downright weirdest thing you've ever run over?\

Mine's gotta be a frog. Don't ask me how I managed to run over a frog, but I did it somehow.

LOL, this is a funny post. When I first moved away to college I was driving down a side road for the first time at night(very dark) and I hit a raccoon. It thumped my front and rear wheel wells. My friend and I were laughing so hard.

squirrel?

Since we're going for humor, I was driving with my mom in the passenger's seat, and we saw what appeared to be a dead squirrel in the road. We were in traffic, so I hit it as well, and my mom let out a "awwwwwwh", to which I responded "poor brush"

It was a grey nylon brush with a short red handle.

BTW, there are a lot of frogs around here, I ran over one in our driveway a couple of weeks ago. One of my favorite ways to keep myself entertained while driving is the frog slalom.

I haven't run anything weird over, but like 6 of 7 years ago when I was in Georgia I was riding with my mom. It was during the middle of the day and we were on a small highway. Next thing you know we were in a big swarm of what appeared to be fireflies (small and black; don't know really). This happened for about a half mile. When we got to our destination, the front of the car was full of dead bugs (windshield didn't look good either).

my teacher told me this one. he lives out by an intersection out in the country and only about a half-dozen cars at most go by on that road a week. one day he was out walking by the road and found a dead raccoon. what are the odds that a car would be driving by right when the raccoon was crossing the road. oh and that teacher also hit a cow once.

Luckily I've never hit anything too damaging, I think my only roadkill is a lizard out in arizona.
I've been riding with my dad though, he's had worse luck; broke a friend's skateboard in his '65 mustang (pissed him off, but didn't damage car). Another time late at night we came upon a cat sitting in the middle of the road staring at something, the cat ran off, but the possum it was staring at didn't. Seemed like we were gonna wreck our Civic because it was so low, lol. Luckily there are plenty of possums around, so 1 won't do too much harm to the car or enviornment

One of the funniest things thats ever happened to me while driving. I was with a friend and I was passing by a road that was closed off because of minor construction so there wasnt any orange barrels or anything but they had cones and a road closed sign. I wasnt paying attention to where I was in relation to it and my cell phone dropped and i reached down to get it from the passenger seat floor and i slightly veered to the side. Not enough to like take out a sign or the curb or something but just enough to run over a cone. The cone got knocked around backward and made this grinding/thumping sound as it went under my car (not a pleasant sound might I add) and I immedietly looked into my rearview to see where it had come out... but it wasnt there. It was then I realized i was dragging it and it had gotten caught on the lip of my rear bumper.

About a mile later it finally decided to detatch itself from my bumper on a turn.... in the middle of an intersection... so as i drove off I heard people honking and i could see in my rearview people driving around a cone in the middle of the lane in the i-sect. Funny to me... probably not to the people I dropped it off in front of though

I was riding with my friend at about 3 in the morning....real curvy twisty road with trees on both sides. We go over a little hill and see 2 massive racoons fighting over some road kill lying in the road. Well....one racoon got away....the other was probably on the side of the road laughing at the other one saying "HA....now I get to eat your ass too."
