While driving across the Rez to Flagstaff today I ran across a pack of dogs...literally. They came running full speed across the highway from my left. I clipped the first, creamed the second and the rest ran behind the car. I had just come thru a speed zone and was only going about 60. Noplace for me to go with all those moving targets. Wound up with a bent up fender and busted front cover. I had to get out and pull the fender off the wheel to drive it home. Dam rez dogs..

 

Kev, Glad your OK. Car can easily be fixed. T

 

Sorry....I can't handle any bends, tears or twists to my girls; I pray for my crazy drives to be unscathed; except I don't understand why the H/Way cops love me: banghead:...I am curious what are "rez dogs"...I have a heavy foot son in Az and never heard him mention these creatures...rez dogs = wild dogs = coyotes ????? please excuse my ignorance.

 

rez = reservation, right?

 

Sorry to hear about the damage - but it is much more important that you got out of this unharmed.

 

I did about the same thing a year ago with a snow bank. Front bumper cover, front fender repair. Cost about 2K. Looks fine. I still feel like an idiot, but will be more careful
Good luck,
Dave

 

Sucks Kevin, but glad you're "OK"

 

Dogs are at least smaller and lighter than deer...

 

I once hit a loose cow at 35. Luckily, it was in an old Pontiac. Less damage than I would've guessed.

Glad you didn't swerve and made it out okay.

 

^^^^ Good advice. Never swerve. Hit em or keep going cause they'll be gone when you get to where they were. Swerve and you'll crash or hit them for sure.

 

Dang Kevin, glad to hear it is only the car damaged.

 

Sorry to hear! People down here are having trouble with feral hogs on the new Texas 130 highway ... they roam at night in packs and didn't get the word there's a new 80-mph highway out there ...

 

For those who havn`t heard the local AZ. verbage. I live on one side of the Navajo reservation and the rest of the world lives on the other. To get get to the real world, I have to travel 130 miles across the reservation. Its a whole other world. Rez dogs are like feral dogs. they roam in packs around the rez. You also get sheep , cattle, and horses out there also. Sometimes drunks in pickups, sometimes drunks without pickups. Sometimes drunks who had pickups...but dont know where they left them...There is not much more out there.

 

How's the front fog light lenses?

 

lol not a scratch !! glad I don`t need to find someone who has some.
Carry On....lol
