On the way home tonight, country road, cruising at about 50 or 55 MPH and this wolf or something runs right across my path from the ditch. Wham!
Now the left front of my car is trashed. The nose cap is torn up, the left foglight is gone, the inner panels are dragging on the ground and on the tire. The oil cooler has been dislodged but appears to be okay. Lots of little bits and pieces broken.


I will try to post pics tomorrow. Any thoughts?

Edit: Added pictures

 

damn that sucks, glad to hear you're Ok though. You're car doesn't happen to be Silver is it?

 

move to the city

 

Thanks, guys.
HolyCross05, Yeah, it's silver. Crap I hate to be a statistic.
Captain Mercury, I live in one city but work in another. Traffic tied up the highway so I took my alternate route.

 

^^ I don't believe in curses but good lord another silver in an accident...

 

Glad you're ok, but I hope you stopped to check for the tags on the "wolf" you hit.

And then called the owners to let them know their dog is dead.

 

^ that's horrible, but strangely funny

 

Poor animal

 

what country road were you on?


MrJynx

 

it was probably a coyote

 

maybe it was a moo-cow or a pheasant?

 

Yes, that's it! You know how easy it is to mistake a moo-cow or pheasant for a wolf!

Britannia west of Hwy 25

 

Call you car inc. co. they should cover it. Right? If not get the MS kit . Good thing you where only going 50-55mph an not 70... Did it look like a Werewolf!!! OK no more JK's gland your OK feel ya on the 8.

 

That sucks DarkBrew.

Hey, good excuse for that accessory package...you know, to replace the one that was riped off your car.

Atleast your ok and didn't swerve to avoid it, into a tree or something.

 

Added pictures to the first post

 

sorry to hear about that -- i had the same experience with a raccoon... i was doing 65 at night on a dark road the bugger runs out in front of me, i swerve (could have missed him) but he turned back around and into my path (again).

Cracked the bumper (not nearly as bad as yours), broke all the underside rock guards and messed up my A/C condenser unit. All in all $2000 to fix, but only had to pay 500 b/c of insurance.

 

I hope that animal suffered horribly before dying!!!!!

 

That's a great shortcut road you took Dark Brew but my guess is the warm January we had up here kept the critters awake and the current cold weather has them out foraging. Don't they know about Price Cutters??? Do you claim this through collision coverage? Mine is $1,000...keeps the premium costs down.

BTW, how long have you been getting away with the clear corners in Ontario?
Stealth bulbs, etc.?

 

it was probly a bunny too, big *** bunny. also, why doesnt the US models have the light washer thing on the front bumper??

 

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Some Aussae has the same thing but in Winning Blue

 

ouch, that sucks. sorry dude.

 

Sorry to hear/see dude.

P.S. Don't you guys find it funny that one of the first questions when something bad happens on this forum is "It's not silver is it?" After 2 years of being on this forum it's kinda funny, well just because my 8 isn't silver I guess.

 

You never heard of the "Silver Curse" have you sunny?

 

It's a legal requirement in some countries (including Australia), that cars fitted with Xenon headlights have washers fitted as standard. Dirty lenses on Xenon headlights scatter the focused light and dazzle oncoming drivers.

Obviously you Americans drive around at night with your eyes closed.......
