I'm an idiot...

[garretts77]

Yeah so I did the fog light mod... I followed the instructions that are posted here in the How-To and was pleased with the results. I took the car out for a drive in the mountains today and when I got back, the fogs weren't on anymore. Just the running lights. I messed around with everything for like an hour. I checked all of the fuses, re-soldiered the wires, wiggled random s*** around, and nothing... Just as I was about to give up frustrated and accept that my fogs don't work anymore, I noticed the blue "high beam" indicator in the dash... doh! I must have hit the switch forward on some turn during the day, but as soon as the switch was let back into low, fogs are on...

But on the plus side, look what I cought in my grill at about 100 mph...

poor bird. You didn't even notice you hit the bird, or did you?? Oh well.

 

[pluto316]

OWNED.

 

[garretts77]

I saw it, but I was going a lot faster than it was... I definately wasn't about to swerve for a bird.

 

[dominoy2k1]

thats almost as bad as me trying to remove the wheels without removing the lug nuts.....wait um n/m. yeah that sucks

 

[garretts77]

Just a puff of feathers in the rearview let me know that it didn't get away...

haha, anyone see that video clip of an IMSA car down the back straight hitting a jackrabbit witht he front left headlight? lol the thing vaporized, literally.

problem with anything bigger than that bird in your pic is the amount of damage it causes, because of where the track is in the desert for jags test facility here they hit rabbit and crap all the time really damaging the car.

 

[Togan]

relax its not ur fault s*** happens

 

[vodapas77]

Yeah, I hate to say but at those speeds it would come down to seriously risking your life for the birds. I'd say you made the right choice. Just think that that bird once s*** on your car. That'll make ya feel better. lol.

poor bird.... yet again, poor car

 

[SoniCraze]

i have no freakin clue man, but it got stuck behind it, maybe i was driving fast enough so when he tried to jump away, he didnt succeed...i was going to name him but i thought that was a bit much..

 

[Gbourdon]

My friend Taylor hit a cat in his corolla when he was with my buddy steve in high school. It got stuck up in the front wheelwell between the wheel and springs. He pulled all the fur and skin off its tail trying to get it out and eventually just pushed it out with his foot. Freaking gross.

i hit a cat one time with my previous car.. it ran out in front of me.. a black cat too, but it didn't make it all the way across, so it really didn't "cross my path" if you think about it.. it almost did

sorry to all you cat lovers
