confirmed kill stickers
Just a stupid question, Anybody know where i can get some confirmed kill stickers of various animals, I got 1 more racoon this weekend which puts me at 5 confirmed racoons kills with my alero death machine ( i am finally an ace driver), you used to be able to find them pretty easily but ehh, not to sound nasty, but is traction control exposed to turn on after you hit an animal, or.....

Normal people as a rule of thumb try not to hit wild animal that are crossing the road, and the fact that you want little stickers to put on your car to show the fact that you enjoy doing it sickens me.

^come up here and ride with someone who owns a pickup. You hit lots of animals. Rabbits while on snowmobiles are especially fun.
As for the sticker, try ebay. I've seen them around so i'm sure you can still get them. All you really need is to find a picture of one on the internet and bring it to a local decal shop.

hahaha I laughed so hard when I read that... Alero Death Machine!
When I first got my car I hit a cat straight on that decided to jump into the front end of my car. It hit the car, rolled over the hood, roof and off the trunk. I had a stream of cat guts from front to back on my car. Despite my cleaning efforts, my animal-lover girlfriend pointed out the next day that I had cat fur stuck under the windsheild wiper.
I'm so glad my sunroof was closed. The cat fur remained on my wipers until I got new wipers, that was my confirmed kill sticker.

I think I hit a skunk one time... The whole drivers side of the car smelt like it and so did both wheels.... Let me tell you, nothing like the smell of HOT skunked up brakes.... I got sick one night coming home from work... I just couldn't stand the smell...

Wow... even living kind of in the middle of nowhere and driving home from work at midnight for two years... and living in the UP of MI for 3 years with the car... I have yet to hit anything. You people need to pay better attention.

Sometimes it's impossible to NOT hit them.... I've almost wrecked my car trying to miss a possum. So if they run in front of my car, I'm most likely going to hit them... I still hit my brakes and everything, I just won't swerve as much as I use to. lol The skunk, I didn't even see... I didn't even know I hit it until that hot brake/skunk smell came into the car and made me sick.

In my opinion, animals should pay better attention. I don't understand the people that risk crashing nice vehicles to spare the lives of an animal. I would never make any major evasive manoeuvres to avoid hitting something aside from slowing down and letting it run. This excludes animals large enough to mess up the car or kill me (moose).

I always seem to see them with plenty of time to stop safely or find room to manuever. That said, I'll probably nail a deer on my way home today, I saw 4 of them on Friday.

Well it was my first time, I love my car and don't want animal guts all over it..... I didn't swerve THAT much but when getting myself back on the road all the way, my car started to fish tail a couple times before finally getting back under control.

I've had a couple deer run out in front of my car, but they were always far enough to give me time to slow down and miss them. There's a family of deer that live next to the road I take to go to and from work. They are ALWAYS there at night. They don't fear cars....

I don't intentially hit animals, but when I do it's unavoidable.
So far I've only hit a big porcupine. bend my mesh grill, and I had to pick about 30 quills out of my radiator.

Yeah... in my 7 years of driving I have yet to hit an animal bigger than a gopher. Even in the middle of winter driving through Alberta going 120km/hr on snow and having deer cross the road I still had enough time to slow down and drive around them. If you've hit that many animals clearly you don't know how to drive your car.

I hit a bear going 140 in my Escort... it lived - or at least lived shortly before going to die somewhere.
Only had a small dent in the fender.
