cblt12 vs. dog
well i was cruising down the freeway last night at about 9:30 in the number 2 lane when a big ass german shepard jumped out infront of me from the fast lane! i did not want to swerve and hit another car, and it happened so fast that i coundnt do anything. i felt horrible for the dog, but what can you do. i heard pieces hanging off the cars, but i didnt want to stop on the freeway, because its just not safe. so i put my hazards on and made it off the freeway... well in my head i was picturing a smashed bumper around the fog light area and maybe a smashed headlight. well i got out of the car to see this...



i cracked both radiators, the ac condensor, the maf sensor snaped off the intake, and you can see the body damage... i am glad that i was not hurt, because it could have been much worse, but it sucks that this happend.

i have no idea what happened to the dog, i wasnt able to get off the freeway for about a mile but i am sure he is done.
thats my biggest worry is that its never going to look right again, but its not that bad so hopefully it will not be too noticable.... im just pissed that i will have to be w/o a car for a few weeks!

i actually still have the headlight but i took it off because it was just hanging there by the wires and just the housing to the headlight broke. so i will be able to take apart the headlight, take out the shroud and reflector, and put it in a new housing so i am very happy about that
well there is only very lil on the bumper that i didnt even notice until today... but if you look in the intake pic, i believe that is dog ****.

weve tried calling animal control, cal-trans, and anyone we can think of to see if we can find out whos dog it was, but no luck yet. i mean it sucks for the dog but somebody should be responsible for this.
Sorry man I'm an animal lover too and I'd HATE to hit a dog like that. I seriously would be a wreck myself. I don't care what anyone says I'd be crying like a baby while running back to the dog in the road.
i hate not having a ******* car!!!!
