Two donuts when you only hit a racoon? Racoon's not worth taking your life you know. Hit it and cry for it later if you want but don't swerve on a gravel road when you're already speeding.

And being on the topic of the scariest thing in life for the record I've been in similar vehicle situations and this three word sentence is much more nerve racking: "Honey, I'm late."

It's amazing the damage racoons can do, My wife and I before getting married where racing a buddy in his Stealth going about 180/ then you just WAM!! so we stop and ripped the entire air damn setup from underneath the car to pieces... to replace that piece 300$ soo said screw it but yeah it wasn't a huge coon at all, unless it lost some meat in the impact...?

For some people its a reaction to swerve no matter what the animal is especially if you don't see it till you've either already hit or or are 2 seconds to hitting it.

That sux Zach shouldn't drive over the speed limit let alone on a dirt road [img]tongue.gif[/img] Glad ur ok tho eh? [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] lol

I once caught a cat with my front tire while turning slightly to avoid it, even though i was on pavement i almost lost control cause it made my front tire lose traction. Damn cat cost me a fog light too....
