lol

"thankfully the squirrel did not die"...as if we need more squirrels. Not that I wish them harm, I am just saying it struck me as funny. Mention the squirrel, but not the driver.

At least it didn't end like the geico commercial

A couple weeks ago I had a chipmunk run out in front of me. looked in the mirror to see that it had dodged not only my car but the one behind me as well. talk about lucky!!

I actually met one of the Geico squirrels--I think. I was on a deserted Texas 2-lane, and noticed some road kill square in the middle of my lane, way down the road. No big deal...until it stood up. I had to go from 60 to a dead stop before the fool squirrel scampered off, no doubt to bump fists with another one in the bushes.

Probably should have left (automotive) nature take its course.

Knocked the little bugger's tail off though. Notice the 'RC' look before and the 'Manx' look after. Not only are this Lamborghini fast, they are low.

Motor On!

reminds me of the old joke for which the punchline is "never lose your head over a piece of tail"...

Road kill musings. Do you know why the chicken/squirrel crossed the road? To prove to the opossum and raccoon that it really could be done!
