GE8 + Coyote in front grill - Pics

One of my buddies linked me to this article. Found it pretty interesting.

Wile E. Coyote Has Been Found! - PBH3

One of my first observations is that the driver hits more then just coyotes with his front bumper. There is a lot of dings on that thing.

How do you stop at 2 gas stations and have no one realize (other station patrons) that you have a bulge of fur sticking out of the front of your car?

I saw that headline yesterday but didn't click it. Had no idea it was a Fit! Amazing story. Glad the Coyote is okay.

I was thinking the same thing. If I hit something Generally at the gas station I would get out and inspect the damage. I guess he does not care about damage. Otherwise he would have seen an animal in his grill sooner

Actually, you didn't read a similar story a while back... you read this EXACT story. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gene...vs-coyote.html and https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gene...stuck-fit.html among a few others.

For whatever reason, someone re-posted an old story. It looks like the whole article was an image capture. It happened in October of '09.

Those critters kept me awake for years, there must have been thousands of them all howling at the same time from every direction..... For some reason there has been a migration of Californians buying up acreage and building fences and buying horses and the coyotes no longer raise hell like they did..... They did a good job of keeping the wild hog population in check.

No, actually there was a very similar story recently. I'm guessing this is what you (esamson7) are referring to:
