So... This was pretty much my day/evening yesterday. Unlike Whatserface, I walked away without so much as a bruise. I owe a lot to my car, seeing as I could barely drive it off the highway. Possums are the devil. True dat!

car, adventure

Oh no! I've seen possums move really fast, but not this time, apparently. How's the car? We had a close one with a raccoon family stretched across the road. They left two spaces for the tires, and BD negotiated the gaps successfully.

The damage is enough that I'm not sure if it's totaled or not. It's banged up on at least 3 corners, the grill is pushed in about 6 inches from where it should be... I'm very very glad I was completely unharmed.

In this case, the possum was on a collision course with the passenger tire, and the 2 feet I swerved was enough to spin the whole car out of control. Next time, I will have no mercy for the small animal!

Wow - that's really scary - I'm glad you were unharmed, too. It takes a while for the adrenalin effects to wear off.

I was shaking for a good hour afterwards. Thank goodness there was cellular signal out where I was!
