Critters

A dumb groundhog decided to bolt from the high grass at the side of a back road on my way home from work on Wednesday night. He didn't make it.

Little bugger did quite a big of damage to the Mini, especially since it's lowered. I don't think I'd have even felt a thump in the truck.

The lower flat-black molding is cracked up, the chicken wire grill is busted, the radiator is friggin' bent. I think I scooped him up like a plow. He didn't come out from under the car for a good 50 feet after I hit him.

I guess I had a better day than he did at least. Too many of these things around. I've already dispatched four coons in the back yard this year.

I'll post pics in a bit.
