Hit a coyote last night!

Foreman05 · 09-14-2012, 12:37 AM

Well on my way home from okc last night I hit a coyote right in the center of my lower grill. The plastic grill came off and hit my radiator. The radiator has two large gashes now. When I stopped the car on the shoulder a large cloud of steam/smoke came rolling out of the front. When I went to check the damage it stopped smoking. Didn't see any leaks at that point so I did a control check no issues found so I drove home the last 20 minutes. Checked it out today still no leaks and the coolant reservoir is still full. It was only 60 degrees here today so I couldn't really check the a/c. car seems to be normal other than my messed up bumper. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Obviously a troll. If this was true OP would have told us what happens to the Coyote.

Turb0Surge · 09-14-2012, 09:29 AM

i want to see pix of said coyote/ car.

Doctor///M · 09-14-2012, 09:35 AM

BBQ coyote.

Mwishlist · 09-14-2012, 09:43 AM

Did he look like this right before you hit him?

Seriously though, that does suck.

Road Runner would be glad to know that Wiley is dead.

Foreman05 · 09-14-2012, 06:07 PM

Thanks for all the comments... Here are the best pics i could get. Looks like the piece of plastic slid right between the horizontal water lines which would explain why there are no coolant leaks. Im still a little puzzled about the cloud of smoke. Going to auto zone late to have them test my A/C pressure.

be1ieve1111 · 09-14-2012, 06:20 PM

I think you need bigger pics lol.

My335iTT · 09-14-2012, 06:21 PM

Pics too small, cant get enough detail

Foreman05 · 09-14-2012, 08:18 PM

wow i'm glad that most of you have nothing better to do than make dumbass comments. On a side note i started my car tonight and oil sprayed everywhere i will try to find the leak as soon as the insurance adjuster comes out. For those of you that read posts on here for information i will post the issues once i figure it out.

ndog14 · 09-14-2012, 08:34 PM

Still, no updates on the Coyote. Still calling troll on this dude

Foreman05 · 09-26-2012, 01:31 PM

Insurance adjuster just left, she estimated $2500 in repairs due to a cracked bracket on my drivers headlight housing and a free tow to the BMW dealer 90 miles away. Hope it all goes smooth.
