Running over coyotes, eh? El Hitman's disappearance from the BBS is making much more sense now...... I'm sure he will have a sweet story for us soon enough
b.s. These kids placed the coyote in their car after they already arrived at their residence and then took pictures of it. The kid in the picture looks like a trouble maker who would do these sort of things.
ToyCen there is a simple explanation. Ready? OKAY! They hit the coyote but they were going at 88 MPH at 1.21 Gigawatts and the coyote MELTED into the car due to a transverse fluctuation of the space-time continuum. Essentially the time travelers entered back into our time right on TOP of the coyote so it got stuck inside the car since it returned to earth at that exact spot.
What probably happened is, the coyote crawled up in there while the vehicle was parked. I have seen probably 300-400 animal hits in my career. I have seen cars hit raccoons/possums, which are much smaller, going far less than 75 MPH, and I can tell you, the amount of damage they do just at 30-40 MPH is amazing. Simple physics tell you a 2.5 ton vehicle ramming into a 30-40 pound animal at 75 MPH will leave much more damage to both the vehicle and the animal than what we see here in the photos. Look at the a/c condenser (which is aluminum). It is not damaged. If that coyote came through the lower bumper cover at 75 MPH, that condenser would have been absolutely destroyed, along with probably the radiator.
There is no conceivable way that this could have happened without any visible damage to the Coyote or the car?
Seems weird that the kids would lie about hitting it though. Why make up the whole story? There is no way they thought they'd get famous by lying and saying they hit the darn thing. Very peculiar.
This. The coyote would have been pulverized at 75 mph. Probably crawled in there at night to stay warm or something after the car was turned off.
