Animal Magentism and the W124
4th animal hit at night
First was a possum that got "clothes-lined" by external temp sensor wire that had sagged down from bumper in my 300TE... repaired wire.
Then I hit a hog and took out bumper, headlight assembly, and grille in my 300 Cabrio.
Tonight I hit a coyote at 12:30 AM, took out head light assembly (the gimbal inside always breaks); and about five minutes later managed to strike an armadillo (armored possum); who knows what I'll find on the underside. At least fuel pumps are still working.
I drive 58 miles one way to work, back roads thru the woods; 5-10 mph below limit, fogs and brights on. Work second shift. Guess I'll have to find a way with lots of 4 lane roads and stay in the left lane..... headlights are not as easy to find at boneyard as they once were.
Liability only insurance, after all it is a $500 Cabrio.
