I thought that was it, but I felt my car start shaking.”The cow had flipped over the roof of the car, gone through the back window and landed in the back seat.“I didn’t really want to see what was there, but I saw a black cow head in my back window.

My daughter turned this way and said ‘Mom there’s a cow in the back seat!’ And we just took off,” Coccia said.The car's hood and roof were crushed and the windshield was smashed.Coccia said she realized there were bound be jokes.

The cow in the back seat was not seriously injured, but the second cow did not survive.“It could have just as easily gone through the windshield and we’d be talking about very serious injuries or possibly death,” said Rehoboth police Sgt. Richard Shailor.

The cow was frightened and agitated. Firefighters and police had to tie it down so it wouldn't move inside the car. They towed the car to the farm and let it out.Both Coccia and her daughter Haley, 14, suffered minor injuries. Her car was a total loss.

Living in farm country, that isn't the most bizarre cow story I've ever read.

Keep your sexcapades to yourself, Dude. We don't want to hear them.

I had a squirrel encounter last week. Seemed he was determined to sprint across the road and position itself under my tires. He succeeded. I almost slammed on my brakes but thought I could swerve around him better. I couldn't tell if I'd missed him or not initially as I didn't hear anything, so i turned around, made a u-turn, and sure as heck there he was, face up, legs pointing toward the sky. Most disturbingly there was second squirrel who was already on the other side of the road and it was standing on its hind legs curbside looking nervously at his dead friend.

I felt horrible.

Now had it been a cat...

I hit a deer coming back from the Giants/Cowboys playoff game (at least it was a playoff game to the giants).


Was right outside of San Marcos. 3 southbound lanes, I was in the middle. And there's a barrier separating the northbound/southbound traffic.


The Deer was by the barrier, don't know if he had just hopped over coming toward me, or if he was just hanging out and decided to run back right when I got there. If I'd swerved left, I would have hit the barrier. Swerving right would have been useless cuz the deer was running that way, would have hit him anyway.

Only choice I had was to hit him head on.

Felt like crap after.

Somehow I hit a bird. Not sure how. Just know that there was a dead bird in the front end of my car (Edit for clarification).

Had a brief girly moment, then put on some work gloves and pulled it out (noted it was headless and had another brief girly moment) and dumped it in the trash...

:laugh2:

A few years ago a friend was telling a story about a road trip he had taken where a black cat had run into the road in the path of his car and stopped dead in it's tracks. He told me he had no opportunity to swerve to miss the cat. He said he looked the side to see if the cat had made it safely to the other side... no cat. He slowed, looked in the rear view...no cat.

He shugged and continued on 15-20 minutes down the road and stopped for gas. As he passed in front of the car to go pay for his gas he discovered the fate of the black cat.

There, stuck in his grill was the cat with this frightened expression still pasted on it's face.

He confided that he too had a girly moment when removing the cat from the broken grill.

We had a dear run across the top of the car roof one time. It was bounding across a 6 lane road and it's hoofs scraped the top of the car. How it did not get hit who knows but it made it to the other side and into the woods

Now visualize yourself being the driver of a car traveling in the opposite direction and seeing this.

You'd be thinkin' that's one hell of a realistic Halloween grill wreath.

Maybe the cow just confused the lady's car for a mooving van?
