Default Well, i hit a coyote.

I was driving home late sunday night out in BFE on a highway and i hit a coyote. Two ran in front of me and i slammed the brakes and swerved and took one out. I'll post pics later but it didn't do too much damage. The body shop said $260 to fix.
THIS SUCKS.

If you have to hit something, the smaller the better!

I hit some kind of large cat (bobcat? Kansas State Wildcat?)a couple weeks ago. I tried to miss, but he managed to run under the back tire. No damage to the car as far as I can tell.

Wow.. isn't that the first sign of being a psychopath? Cruelty to animals?

I may not like some animals, but I would never intentionally try to harm them.

It was the mother coyote and you just condemned her cubs to a slow, horrible death.
