Moose In NH? Glad I Wasn't Driving This Car.

Some day people will pay for a ride like that.

A second career for Palin? The Wasilla thrill ride amusement park? Wolves from airplanes, snow machines with Todd, and moose (meese?, mooses?) with a Honda.
FQ13 who is really, really sorry, but just couldn't resist. C'mon, you know its funny.

Actually the meat is probably OK. Most often when Moose get hit it breaks their legs,( they are as tall or taller than a riding horse) and they fall onto the hood. This one probably broke its neck when it hit the seats and stuff. 
She's lucky on 2 counts, The moose died instantly, (would YOU want to share the front sat with 1500lbs of freaked out animal ?  ) and she was alone. If some one had been in the passenger seat they would NOT have had a good day.

Moose on the loose freak me out. With deer, my rule of thumb is to drive right through the damn things . Ignore the breaks and the wheel, just keep driving (my personal score= Quaker 1, bambi zero and a RENTAL Crown Victoria [picture the Quaker doing the snoopy dance] also zero). The damage a 150 pound animal will do is nothing compared to what putting the car into a ditch or around a tree will  do. If you swerve or lock up the brakes, you might just do the latter. A 1500 pound animal though? Thats like hitting a wall. No matter how it goes down it will suck for all involved.
