Re: R.I.P.
I'm really glad you're ok. Trees are tough!
This is the third story that I know of people totalling vehicles to dodge animals. I just run them over. Countless squirrells, a big big bobcat or small mountain lion, a few cats, an owl, dozens of birds. I had a lady dodging a cat once almost head on me. I saw the cat before she did and predicted her move. Why she'd ever in the world think that cat was worth both our lives I'll never know.
I dodge and brake for large deer, moose, cows, horses, and really big pigs because the physics rule and even then, the animals better to hit than a tree, or an oncoming car because in THOSE instances physics rule. I got rid of the Mini Cooper because I almost ate a cow, completely uncooked one night.
