My car hit a hockey stick.

Correction: A hockey stick hit my hood and fenders, three times. How did that happen? My now ex-wife went into a rage and decided to take it out on the car. Couple of minor scrapes....thankfully it wasn't a "steel" car. Claimed I loved the car more than her. (true). Any wonder she is now an "ex"?

To explain the washing machine, as someone posted earlier, you just can't tell how long that front end is. So there's a washing machine sitting in my garage, and I'm trying to pull all the way in to allow the door to close, not much room for error as the washing machine happens to be right in the middle where the farthest pointing part of the nose is. It scraped some paint off, but its all good b/c the car needs a paint job anyway!

Oh, and Cali, since you asked, I just wanna say that that rabbit with pancake on its head is just plain hilarious!!!

When my dad owned it, he hit a deer on the right side and shattered the front fender. The next day grandma was backing outa the garage and scraped the left fender (that scrape is still visible, bubba repair)

I have hit a couple of birds, one a pheasant. Hit so hard it knocked a headlight out and feathers EVERYWHERE!

This was a very funny thread.

Bumped into the lawnmower pulling into the garage. One time i punched it while it was raining next thing you know I was turned sideways doing 70mph and took out about 5 construction cones! I was 17, give me a break!

I came very close to running over a cat on my lunch break, I guess I can say that my four wheel disc brakes are in tip top shape

I picked up my brand new 1976 Vette at the dealer and proceeded to a local hockey game. I parked way in the back in a multilevel parking ramp. Since this was my first Corvette, I misjudged just how long the front end stuck out. I nosed it into a concrete pillar in the ramp. It left a very small vertical scuff mark in the rubber bumper. The car must have had 3 miles on it!!! I left the scuff mark as a memento to my stupidity.

A no u-turn sign in the median jumped out in front of me once. Totaled my car, but I put it back together.

Bought my vette from my Uncle in Idaho. Drove it by myself all the way home to Texas. Fun drive but scarry. Was running the home stretch on a dark night and a third lane opened up on the left. Well I wouldn't be driving a vette if I didn't take the fast lane so I changed over. Turns out it wasn't a lane but the beginning of a U-turn lane that I couldn't see the end of because they didn't have any reflectors anywhere. Ran right off the road at about 60mph onto the grassy median. Pulled back on the road and over to the right shoulder. Had a fight with myself.

Second thing I hit was about a million bugs on the aformentioned trip.

Third thing (worst) was the back of an SUV with a tow hitch. Road was oily after a short rain following a long drought and I couldn't stop. Hit it at about 10-15mph. I got my front-end rebuilt and a new black paint job. (Old one was brown)

Since then I've learned a lot and have hit it with nothing but wrenches, time and money while removing the transmission and engine myself to make room to get my passenger-side a-arm bracket replaced (and future engine rebuild and th350 to 2004R switchover) as it was removing itself from the x-member and causing the car to steer funny. I'll be checking the dimensions of the frame too while I have it there. Wish me luck, i'll be taking it to the frame shop within the next few weeks.

Love bugs! I hate those little basta**s.

Didn't hit, but close enough....
My frined is in from out of town and wanted to take a ride in the car. I live in an area that is encrouching quite a bit into nature and there are quite a few deer.
I don't often open the car up (I baby my old girl) but decided to play and was up to about 75mph when less than a 1/4 mile ahead a big deer bounded across the road. Brake.... downshift... drive car home like a nice boy. A few seconds later and my friend and I would be collecting the pieces of my car off the road.

Twin_Turbo

a very steep speed bump, ripped off the front spoiler, mangled the frame extension and cracked all the bonding adhesive on the front.

I hit a full and upright sitting large truck tire tread. I was in the center lane on the freeway, and the SUV in front of me passed over it, not problem. When it appeared there was not enough time to process what I was seeing, look over my shoulder to see if the left lane was clear and move, so I had to hit it. I tried to hit it dead on, but it was taller than my bumper and boy was it loud as it made its way under my lowered Vette. Strangely, I was on my way to my mechanic's shop, so I got it on a lift and thankfully, no damage beyond the rubber marks on the bottom of the bumper.

79 vette

130 Mph :d

Over 140 -- I say over because that is as far as the speedo went, and the C5's I was chasing kept going.

Ahhhh, mid project, the 73' rolled from the top of my VERY STEEP driveway, with no ebrake on, not in gear, over my right hand, over 3 wheel chocks, and into the wall of my garage, destroying a 4 foot wide portion of my house, and a 2000 dollar garage door. Compared to the house the vette's damage was quite comical. I had to repaint the front bumper and about 8 inches worth of the driver's fender. Gotta love that urethane front end.

It wasn't in the Vette but I hit a wheel which had come off an axle of a tandem trailer. It was late at night on a freeway and the wheel was still rolling down the road. Saw it, thought what's that? recognised it, slammed on the brakes and hit on the left front of my 68 bonnie. the Bonnie rode up over it and jumped a few feet in the air while destroying several things underneath. The front left hubcap came off, launched into the air, and landed on the rear window scratching the glass as well. Flexed the whole car causing little dents where you wouldn't expect them
Luckily the owner of the wheel had stopped and I got his details to pass on to my insurance.

And none of that was in the Vette.
