in Stowe Vt, on Rt 100, just north of downtown. Seriously, 40 MPH zone. Heavy traffic, suburban house density. It jumped out of the ONE patch of woods and sprinted right out in front of me. By the time we made contact I was only going about 15-20, but it cracked my bumper skin and broke the driver’s side headlight mounts. :P

I’m pretty sure that’s a dog, bro.

Is that a Boston Terrier, by any chance?

Oh man that’s awful. If I hit a bear in my mini it would crumple completely even if it was at like 10 mph

Could of been worse.

My Brother hit a young bear late at night on road trip while in the middle of nowhere Ontario, Canada. Luckily he was able to make it home.

Said the bear took a pretty good tumble, shook it off and just walked away. I’m sure it was pretty injured though. Their first response is to get away from people.

Yes, friend’s dog, his name is Max. Checking out the bear fur stuck in the bumper.

Bears are worse then moose to hit. Moose go over, but bears roll under causing the car that hit it to flip.

I got a set and they are fantastic. Unfortunately my friend gave me a pair of Mustang HID (bi-xenon whatever) projectors with ballasts and now I’m in over my head.

Couldn’t get traction though. Partly me, partly economy.

son of a b... I hit a doe with my old nissan pickup - crossed out from behind oncoming traffic. 50 mph zone, I got slowed down to about 20 - knocked the deer down, it got back up, jumped the ditch and ran off, I got a $2700 repair bill.
