So I was coming home last night at around midnight, goin down SR54 doin about 60, and I see a big ass armadillo right in the center of my lane just sittin there.

Now, my car sits about 5" off the ground and this bastard was about a foot tall. I let off the gas but didn't brake because I knew I could only get to about 55 before I woulda hit it and I didn't want my front end to dip lower and leave any more damage.

Also, I didn't wanna be that jackass that totals his car in a ditch so a small creature can live a little longer, so I just went straight and hoped for the best. Not so...

BTW my paint is less a month old, Titanium Silver Metallic (BMW 3-series color)

Not as much blood as I excpected but the fiberglass holding the lip on is EFFED! And my intercooler is kinda dented you can see in the pics:

You could have hit an armadillo that was working out by
lifting a concrete block with each arm.

Under the circumstances, you came out pretty good.-Bob
