you hit dead moose road kill on the highway! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0979.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0979.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0967.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0967.jpg) ripped those centre section supports (not rad support) off at the weld ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0969.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0969.jpg) you can’t see it well from the pictures, but the fender was pushed from the inside and is now toast ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0970.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0970.jpg) dented up the stock sidemount intercooler…this i dont’ really care about ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0972.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0972.jpg) mmmm moose blood on the windsheild somehow ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0974.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0974.jpg) **WARNING** - next picture is a little gross, moose guts on the undercarriage at least there was no frame damage ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0976.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/shifted/IMG_0976.jpg) for hitting a dead moose that was almost the damn size of my car the damages are actually quite minimal…needs new front bumper and passenger fender and those bumper center support things and its good to go…just kind of sad that this was the last 10 minutes that i drove my car this year ---
