Etdlahq Memorial Bar - your shelter from forum crashes

My lady and her mom managed to hit a bear at just under 60 (I belive that's what she said). The bear was standing on one side of the road, yet her mom still managed to clip it... left a very sizeable dent in the care.

Edit - I also had a deer leap over the left front portion of my car's hood when I was going close around 40. It was dark and came out of nowhere. I slammed the breaks and it jumped. I probably would have clobbered it if it hadn't jumped like it did.
 
I think my dad managed to hit a deer at about 30 and completely wrote of his car, so at 70....Phew - wouldnt want to be in that!

holy. was it a big bear?

I've hit a roo before going 80. "didnt even bend a fender" as Kup says in transformers movie. heh. Had to finish off the roo with the 'roo club' which is really just an iron bar that you use for leverage when changing tyres.

A friend of mine also hit a roo but this one ripped the front left panel off of his car and literally shattered his radiator.

A fun game on a roadtrip is to try and identify the various roadkill. heh.



you all drive so slow.....hah... GG km over miles you n00bs
 
Kangaroos are tough ones - it just depends how you hit them. If you don't get it quite right, they can screw up your engine (such as breaking the radiator). They're also fun, as they are completely unpredictable. They like staring at headlights, and they may or may not suddenly jump in a random direction when you get close. So tough to avoid. As long as they don't fly up into your windscreen, you should be OK.

Nice to see that the US has an equivalent to the kangaroo. I'd bet that there isn't anywhere as much roadkill in the US as you get here in Australia. The 'roos seem to like coming onto the road near sunset - it's almost like an initiation ritual.
 
We also have fun moose up in the Northeast. An exceedingly heavy animal with all its weight in one huge area, with thin little legs. When you hit a moose the several hundred kilogram torso crushes most cars and people. Moose accidents are almost always fatal.

I didn't know you were an aussie Mage. where do you live?
Me i'm near Newcastle, NSW at the moment but i'll be moving to Townsville middle of the year.
 
I would like to buy everyone a goodbye round. It was fun while it lasted eh? If any of you are interested in keeping in touch with me check up on my deviantART because it will have pictures and it also has a thing that people can post on if they want to. It is all up to you.

Have a great life.

- Sincerely Samantha
 
*drinks a beer from bunny, despite it being illegal for her to buy it.*
And abaout the speeding thing. in england, our speed limit on motorways is 70 in the UK. i know its lower in the US, but here unless a car chase goes above 100mph, its not even internet newsworthy. I belive the fastest chase here in the uk was over 160mph average, where the cops (in their fords) were chasing a lotus. Now that is what i call a chase, we dont even have 6 lanes with no cars on here. car chase on the M25, now that'll keep you on your toes.. :lol:
 
Thanks for the drink, Bunny. I'll have a root beer in your honour. Sorry to see you go, I guess things can get like that sometimes. I hope you can manage to drop by at the EMB sometime.

Corax, I forget that we don't have locations here any more. I'm from Perth, Western Australia. Not too many from my side of the continent, and even fewer are left here.
 
Asmodeous is from over your way IIRC.

*has teh drink* we really need to hire a resident alcoholic
*starts looking through mail order drunks catalogue*

Ummm... how do you know how many mph a car is going, don't you use the metric system or sumthing.

BTW, this is my first visit to the EMB, so I'll have aaaaa....

Orange Juice... On the Rocks.

GAY
 
i think english use Mph. if not its not to hard to convert. you could probably type in a search engine and come up with one to convert for you.
if not then
1 Mile = 1.6 kms roughly
1 Nautical Mile = 1.852 Kms alot less roughly.


that reminds me. at Karate we have a move called 'shag on a rock' hilarious move, really painful dual wristlock sort of thing. But fortunately its refering to the bird called a shag and not...well you know
