I usually hit anything that wont dent my car. I usually wouldnt hit a big dog unless i would end up crashing trying to not hit it.

I hit a cat once while test driving a VW Scirocco. I swear the thing had a death wish. As I came up over a small rise there he was just sitting in the middle of the road facing the opposite way. Just before impact he turned his head and then WHABMP!

For the plastic "thingy" you can try MARINETEX. You get this stuff at boating supply stores. Mix it with the supplied catalyst and it will bond almost ANYTHING (and it is very sandable). I used to use it on Sport bike grommet holes..Notorious for breaking due to vibration. I even used it on a washing machine basin crack the size of texas...still holds to this day.

As for the dog.....

I hit a person once,in my Ranchero, on purpose, then I kicked his ass after I hit him.
It's an interesting feeling to hit something with your car, it's also an interesting experience to watch a person fly over your hood, then the roof and land in your truck bed. It's also fun to drag them out of the back of the truck bed by the ponytail, throw them onto the ground, pickem up by the ponytail again, pull their shirt over their head and do the Bob Probert dance on their face. Life's full of interesting experiences isn't it?

I try to avoid hitting animals because they're too cuddly.

The boating supply store is an awsome resource for anyone renovating anything....an expensive source, but good none the less.

Hey Mideast Mafia,
Jack nicholson isn't exactly my favorite actor in the world. Now Adam Sandler on the other hand, is a genius.... of sorts.......
I get your point but I'm not, as terrifying as I come off to be. Wel, maybe I am, but I'm really a great guy to have as a friend. .

Coupe, I didn't..it was DEAD as hell. Well I tried fixing the fog light holder thing the other day and what do ya know I went to take the other screw out of the fog light that holds it to the car and it broke the screw! So now I get to figure out how to get that broken screw out,there's about less than a 1/4 of an inch still sticking out,I guess I will try vise-grips.
Wish me luck...
