Bloody crime scene. By the time I unlocked my project and walked back to the scene someone had drug him out of the road. My truck is fucked. Won’t even go in reverse. I got a lot of meat in the smashed front end. Hit him doing about 45 on a curve at 2:45am this morning. Gotta call a tow truck, insurance and the wife. Supposed to leave for River Thursday. Moreno Valley hills are full of them. Had 12 come down into the school yesterday on Pigeon Pass Road.

Donnkey…. shriek is gonna kick ur ass!

man that sucks. As mentioned though, metal, plastic, and chrome can be replaced. You can NOT be. Sucks Donkey, but could have been Way worse.

PERFECT excuse to go buy a new F250😜

Yep. Friend recently hit 1 in his Duramax at 50. Not much damage. He duct taped the bumper and drove it home.

Their are people actively and successfully opposing Burro birth control and herd thinning and this is what you get.

Consider a burro slammer. Weld hooks on the top bar to catch & help prevent it coming through the windshield.

That’s a bummer but the repairs don’t look too bad.

Need to bring that thing to Vegas, since no one knows how to properly use a crosswalk I can bet that would get some attention!

Effective but even uglier than Pelosi.....which is a difficult thing to claim.😁
If you were up to your neck in a pool full of shit and someone threw Pelosi at you,,, would you duck?

The cow catchers are ugly as hell but sometimes the burro / deer / mustang comes through the windshield.

My dad totaled a dodge van on rice road back in the early 2000's hitting a medium size burro. The damage was pretty crazy.

Should have bought a Chevy.... power wash that fucker, and take your wife to dinner after burro collision..
You guys are not picking up, what I am putting down. ;)

Saab tested their cars heavily for large animal cab intrusion being they have plenty of moose in Sweden.

with minimal damage that won’t even go in reverse?

if I had to guess it’s either broke or pinched a transmission cooling line and it’s a fluid issue hopefully it wasn’t ran for very long like that

That sucks. Good that there wasn’t mare damage than you had. I was wondering how much carnage there would be if you hit one while in Oatman last week. Thanks for clearing it up for me. 👍

i think a 2wd lower anything isn't a good mixture when it comes to animal strikes...lol

I'm a chevy guy but when you scoop them up into the windshield and a pillar things go pretty bad :D

Honestly, that Chevy held up alot better than I thought it would have... Hell any truck to hold up that well after a Burro Attack... lol...

BTW, my 2002 GMC 2500 4x4, was hit at least 6 times by cars, never scratched the paint, never dented a fender or bumper... Your not going to believe this one.. But it got hit by a the same Camry twice in 20 minutes... No shit. My son drove it every day to college... This stupid college kid, was stoned off his ass, backed into our truck, destroyed the entire passenger side ass end of his camry... got out, exchanged information with my son, then did it again... No shit... Stoned dumbed ass...

Nope, kinda weird
Its all based on an accelerometer. They will only deploy at a certain threshold and when the G forces are in particular directions. No need to pop the front air bags for a side impact right? I'm pretty sure that ass didn't stop you in your tracks right? lol!
