I was traveling from Oakland to Stockton, Ca, going 75mph when I started to mess with my GPS for gas. I looked up and saw a white 4 legged thing that walked like a cat but was as big as a dog about 20 feet from me, "Oh ****"

Yup, I hit it. It sounded like a rock hitting my bumper and my tires rolling over it and I just kept going to the next gas station to find this.



Now I need a newly painted bumper and a lip....hehe.

 

Damn u didn't even get out n check what you hit??

 

What if it was Man Bear Pig?

 

It should pull out if you heat it up. Or

 

Wow!! I wanna see better shots! It could have been the CHUPACABRAS!!!(Goatsucker)

 

Well, if the tires ran over the thing, while stop to get out? It's died on impact and the tires made sure of that. I hope you cleaned up the blood on your car. Hope you get it fixed soon.

 

No blood on my car and I didn't stop because it was dark and I wasn't about to run onto the freeway to look at a dead carcass. I hit that thing HARD. I checked at the nearest gas station though.

 

Damn dude that looks bad. Hope you can get it fixed. I hit a porcupine going about 40 and it cracked my oem lip :'( still got the suckers spikes in my underpanel.

 

New bumper FTW! Are you looking to get oem or aftermarket?

 

Eh, OEM. I do want a new lip to go with it but I'd be spending about a grand for all of that. I might just wait until spring time anyways...i dont know.

 

I can't BELIEVE you didn't stop in the middle of the freeway at night! What's the matter with you?

 

lmao.

 

Well you did the right thing. If you tried to avoid it things could have ended worst. I did the same thing in SD when i was driving (not my car but the military van) and i kept going and killed bugs bunny. He jumped in front of me and i saw him and killed it and woke everyone up in the van. It was a loud bang going 70mph.

 

I had the same issue... going into the body shop tomorrow... they said they can push it out, sand it, and repaint...

 

I saw this article and immediately thought about this thread: Dog struck on I-5 slows traffic
