Hitting a kangaroo is not something you want to do. They weigh about the same as a cow, but they can jump along at quite high speed and appear out of the bush quite suddenly. If you do hit a full-grown roo at high speed, it'll be the car that gets wrecked and the roo that gets away. When I hit this one, I was already hard on the brakes, so it was okay and was able to keep hopping.

I live near some areas with deer in them. I work somewhere where you can see them out the window. Very nice.Originally posted by Darkshadow
Why Ricky? Live somewhere where there's a bunch of deer roaming around - it's about the same thing. They'll jump out in the road with no warning, and totally mess your car up if you hit one.
I wouldn't mind Alaska, I guess. For a while anyway. I've heard there's some spectacular scenery up there.Originally posted by Ugg
You should live in Alaska for awhile. Moose make a big mess if they connect with autos. Unfortunately, the cars always lose.

I lived in Alaska for three years, and Ugg is absolutely right!!! There was a video floating around while I was there of a college student getting stomped to death by a moose. You don't mess with those mammas!
I believe you. ::alien:: Unfortunately, big cities are not my bag.Originally posted by hazmat
Try NYC. Here we have sewer rats. Probably about as big as kangaroos!

I'm sure it would be great. I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to get out of the ordinary for a while.Originally posted by hazmat
Do it, Ricky. ASAFP. It's an amazing experience and will change you view of the world forever. In the best way possible.
Wow, sounds like it would mess with your internal clock pretty badly.Originally posted by ebolag4
Alaska was absolutely beautiful. The summers are perfect: 80 degrees is a heat wave, low humidity, 21 hours of sunlight, mosquitoes the size of carrier pigeons. Winters, however, if you're not into cold, snow measured in feet, not inches, and 21 hours of darkness, don't bother.

ASAFP.
Oh, man, Ricky, it's wonderful! You get to experience new sites and new cities, new ways of life, without actually having to live there for more than a couple weeks. Plus, I find it mildly thrilling just to be going somewhere; I actually like flying and taking the train.Originally posted by Ricky
