Car vs. Fire Hydrant...
 

Hydrant wins...




My roommate was using my car and thought it would be a better idea to swerve to miss a dog and hit a fire hydrant.

How fast was he going?

You gotta take em head on at a high speed. Your reward is a free car wash.

On the plus side, the rental car I got is sweet! 2009 Nissan Altima.

Not sure, it happened just a few blocks away. 25 or less.

Should have taken out the dog. Blood is easier to clean than paint.

considering the dog was probably crossing the road to take a piss on said fire hydrant, i'd say your buddy would have been better off to just leave it up to him.
sec

we have hit a hydrant back in the day, they are ****ing solid, SOLID. not like in the movies at all

hit the dog bill the owner

Car is fixed. I had them use the same hood to save me the $500 deductable.

so you had it fixed, just not FIXED

Have you fixed the roommate, yet?

damn i would think something could be done to make the hood look better.

I'm OK with it for now. My roommate will pay eventually.

i would say that if you got under the hood you could straighten in some yourself, next time PM me and i MAY be able to hook you up. (heres hoping there isnt a next time though:p)

Always run the dogs ass over. Most of the time there will be some sort of leash law and you can bring the dead dogs carcass to the homeowner and their homeowners liability insurance will cover your damages.

Yep. I've never tried to avoid hitting an animal.

Carbon Fiber. IT MAKES YOUR CAR FASTER

What an idiot! A perfectly good chance to waste someones pet and he does this.I've been known to go around the block 4 or 5 times just for an opportunity. i keep a pack of hotdogs to throw in the road for bait also.

:LOL:

Exactly, I used to run a delivery route at night and would aim at the barking bastages:evil:

What was really run is cruising down a gravel road at 40+mph and watching the dog/cat on the lawn, trowing the paper an watching it skip across the dew covered lawn......

BLAM!!!!! if it didn't knock them silly, it would at least take their legs out ROFL. Never had to worry about them chasing me again. :thumb:

Your room mate did the right thing, dogs are better than most people.

Good point.

Fixed!

Yep

I'd imagine you'd feel differently had someone borrowed your Challenger and hit something...:D

You can pick up a new dog at the pound . A new car costs a sack full of cash.

Looks like a jap car to me, **** it.


You can not replace a dog, they are all different and a gift to us. They are nothing like pigs, that are just meat.

Well, to start with, nobody is going to borrow my Challenger, they would get the Mrs. Nitro if I felt like helping them.

But the car can be fixed, dogs are special. I wouldn't want someone to make me pick between my dog, and half the people I know, let alone a car.

All Jap cars should be run off in the river.

That would be poluting, how about just compacting them for recycling and make something useful, like trash cans with lids? Or dog dishes?

Jap car? LMAO Actually, its a Grand Prix. My rental was a Nissan. I'd MUCH rather have the Nissan. If an animal is in the street, I will ALWAYS hit the animal versus destroying my property.

Nissan. Toyota. Honda. Some of the best cars in the world. Thats a fact.

This is a ridiculous statement considering most of the components on American made cars are made in Mexico or China.
