At around 11:45pm on Saturday night, one exit from our house, I came car grill to face with a coyote. The animal gingerly walked out onto the highway (the darkest part of the highway btw) and I didn’t see him until it was too late. We were ok but more than a little shaken. I hit a bunny in my truck once but this coyote was big. I damaged the whole front of the driver’s side bumper. I called the claims service this morning and they will take care of everything. The bummer is that I could be spending my deductible on adding things to my super-cool, customizable, hip Scion tC. Instead I have to buy a boring old replacement bumper. No LED lights for Micheal.

Check out the damage. (WARNING: the last picture features a not too graphic shot of the coyote. It’s not gross but I’m not going to send it as a Christmas card either. Viewer discretion is advised.)

Check out the coyote hair stuck to the fiberglass:

I drove by yesterday and took a pic of the culprit:
