Vehicle vs. Cow.



I have some more pictures somewhere of a Ford Ranger vs. a cow that I know are legit because I took them but I can't find them right now. The Ranger looked much like this vehicle pictured here.

Thats what the womans van looked like but most of the damage was done to the passenger compartment. the low front end clipped the cow at the legs/belly and he slid right up the hood into the windshield. I wish I had pics.

Most cow vs vehicles end in death and the cow ain't the one!

Found em:

This was a smaller cow at about 40mph, iirc. (The cow is just taking a nap.)

Notice the wrinkled and misaligned bed/cab. That goes to show how hard of hit that was.











MmmKay. Back on topic.

I didn't do anything to my Jeep today. Not yet, anyway.

cut off the front valence plastic thing under the stock front bumper. Cleaned up motor compartment some. Tightened things up, almost at the first 5,000 mi. With the lift. Last but not least stared down my rusty *** body, I really am thinking about scrapping it and buying a new (to me) xj with no rust. I have an 89 with absolutly no rust that I'm thinking of cutting up and using as well. Pain in my **** honestly.

I was wondering if anyone would say anything. Aaron would never mistakenly leave the road, so the tree clearly hit him.

I pretty much drenched the receiver in spray paint. Lazy as hell, but I'm not really worried about runs on it. Sprayed the wires too because I don't know.

Replaced my valve cover gasket. Drained the 3 quarts of oil it still had out of it and added fresh 6 quarts and a STP oil filter, washed the k&n air cleaner, and treated her to a wash.
