Nope here in cali all i ever hit is bunnies.
and at the risk of sounding morbid, luckily i have a blood red car B]

either way. I always grew up around them being called gators alligators.
it sucks, but it could have been worse, I actually pulled over yesterday and looked at the hunk of tire (i drive this freeway weekly) and if it had hit my windshield it would have taken my sisters face off.
no pics didn't get out, just pulled over and looked.

I really thought a big toothed animal had jumped in the air and bitten you car as you drove by.

I guess my teacher was wrong....of course that was about 50 years ago, maybe back then nobody knew they were there.

I did not know that's what an alligator was. I was expecting a much more exciting story of a rogue alligator sent out by Mustang owners to chomp Camaros.

I had a girl this weekend ask me to check her tires, she thought one was too low. Luckily, I keep an air compressor and tire guage in my car at all times so I checked them. They were supposed to be at 35 psi. They were:

11.5
14.5
16
17.5

I just gave her a blank look and a nice solid

She's lucky she's cute.
