Anyone else have this problem?
It seems that ever since i got my CL-S, i'm a magnet for rodents! I've never run over a rodent before but with this car, i already ran over 3. And everytime i run over one, i get out of the car and check for blood and guts. When i ran over one today, i think i heard some bones hitting the underside of my car.

Ummm....I've not run over any rodents that I'm aware of. Is this specific to your locale? Where are these rodents (and I'm assuming you're not referring to the ex-boyfriends) coming from?

I had to swerve to miss an Opossum last night. I really have to watch for Deer in this car; they are always trotting down the road where I live. Maybe it is the colour of the lights that throws them off. Maybe they cannot see that spectrum as well; maybe they are not associating that colour with a "bad thing".

Funny, I always have cats running over me. I get paw prints every once in a while cause cats decide to walk all over my car. I live in a heavily infested cat area. I swear there was one time where a cat walk from the hood all the way to the trunk. It looked like racing stipes

Coming to a city near you
I ran over some deer remains that was hit by a semi. Now that was nasty!!! That poor deer exploded over the road. I first came up to the entrails and thought wow that looked bad, and then I rounded a slight bend and see the rest of it. I didn't have time to swerve so i had to drive over it and listen to it clunking under the car. Some other guy at work tried driving around it but didn't make it in time and crunched right over it with his tires. And when he got to work he had a flat tire, so he thinks that a bone might of poped it.

At least it's just a rodent magnet, when I first got my car I thought the rear bumper cover was hiding a huge magnet because I got rear-ended twice with the first 2 months I had my car.

Ran over a skunk in my brand new 91 Integra GS. I initially thought it was a cat, but my god the smell. My girlfriend and I were going to a club. When I pulled up to the valet, he was like, yo man your car stinks. Um...yeah...

Hey Honey, are you sure the rodents didn't slkip off the squirrel cage under the hood and escape through the holes in the grill? I hate it when that happens!

Whenever my roomate would drive when we would go downtown in his old cavalier he would practice what he would call the "Kiss Kiss" method of parallel parking, which was basicly, back up until you hit the front bumper of the car behind you, then pull foward until you hit the rear bumper of the car infront of you. I always told him not to do it... but it didn't seem to help. I think lots of people in DC seem to do use this method for parking.</font>

I'm in Denver right now, but on the way up here I hit the biggest Rabbit I have ever seen. I mean this thing was a big as a border collie it seemed, I nailed it with my front passenger side tire and heard it make it's way to the back of the car. The guy riding with me said he felt it hit the floor board right under his feet--we both tried to hold back our gag reflex for the next 50 miles....Nasty stuff...
