NASCAR driver Brad Coleman hit a Coyote **GRAPHIC**
Thread copied over word for word from fullthrottlev6.com
*WARNING the pictures are pretty graphic/gory*
Not sure of any details as I got this in an email and haven't heard about it anywhere else yet....
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brad Coleman was testing a Gibbs NASCAR Sprint Cup Series car at Toyota Arizona Proving Grounds earlier this week and came onto the radio and told his crew something rather unusual.
"Guys, I hit a coyote," Coleman said.
Coleman was running close to 200 mph around the 10-mile test track when he saw the animal wander under the outside guardrail.
"I'm in the middle of the corner, and I'm doing like 190," Coleman said Friday at Nashville Superspeedway before practicing his Nationwide Series car. "I'm just cruising. You run the high line there, because that's where the most banking is. It's the high-speed lane. There's just a guardrail there like on the freeway.
"I see this thing, it must've been 100 feet in front of me, just jump out. Right when I saw it come out from under the guardrail, I was like, 'That's a coyote.'"
"It just started smoking like crazy," Coleman said. "And it smelled terrible. I didn't see anything in the mirror, so I was like, 'I wonder where it went?' I said, 'Guys, I hit a coyote. I'm going to come in because I think it screwed up the radiator. I think it clogged up the grille a little bit.'"

Pretty sure it was a small deer. Way more google results for those pics searching BMW hits deer than there are searching BMW hits fox

I've hit 2 birds and a cat in my day. Well, I still contend the cat committed suicide, or I guess put itself to sleep. It came right at me. I also hit a racoon, now that I think about it. ****, PETA is gonna come after me.
Now anyone in the car repair business long enough has seen the remnants of something sleeping under the hood. I've seen a cat torn up pretty good.
Then there was the mouse in a HVAC fan (a cage fan) - a civic, brought in for fan noise. I still laugh thinking the mouse kept running on that wheel until he could not run no more.
And a jeep cheokee the owner brought in and said "I hit a deer can you check underneath" - and a lot of the deer was still there. That stunk up my 10-bay shop. We could not get it out fast enough and the guy could not understand why we would not clean it for him.

Ive had living things under my hood stuck in ****. Also my grandpa had an entire cat in his fan belts one time too. Pretty nasty and smelled bad. Like the entire cat got fed into the belt like a dam wood chipper
