About 10 years ago, my neighbor came home with a new Chevy Lumina van he had just bought and wanted me to test drive it.

I did, and dropped a cigarette and burned a hole through the drivers seat.

Odometer: 16 miles. He was a happy camper..................

Is that a Volvo you were driving. They are made to crumple on impact as not to hurt the animal.

Idaho is where my wife got to see her very first bear in the wild. A mother and two cubs. Wait till I tell her you hit one of the cubs.......

Might as well hit a brick wall as hit either a bear or a hog (pig). Get as much damage as if you hit a BUFFALO.
