Anyone here hit one before ?
I had my first experience with one last night on the freeway of all places !!!
Someone else had all of the bad luck infront of me and knocked skippy over, but I couldn't avoid hitting the carcass as I was changing lanes at the time I saw it and any swerving to avoid it would have sent me off the verge of the road... all I could do was hang on and hit it. Man did it thump when I hit it... I thought there goes my front end, bumper and sill panel.
Doing 110 on 2 wheels with the passenger side airborne wasn't much fun... but it was better than swerving and lossing it sideways on the median strip and rolling it. :ranting:
Luckily I escaped unscathed with no damage thanks to the good ol 4wd Calais suspension ! ... But poor skippy!!!! he would have been a mess after I jumped over him... I saw the bloke that hit him parked further down the road as I was doing my Dukes of Hazzard 2 wheel airborne impersonation manuveour passed him. I think he was walking back to check it out...
