Re: Those of you...
so who won? The ox or your car? are you alright?
I have seen a full size F150 that hit a full size buck and it lost pretty bad. I couldn't imagine what an ox would doAccidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned. -
Re: Those of you...
I got lucky, I didn't catch it straight on. Although I didn't see it until the impact (low light, no public lighting and sadly road regulations still doesn't mention anything about making cattle wear reflective clothing) I believe I only caught it sideways and only by the head/neck with the right side of my vehicle.

Of course I know I got lucky - Had I caught it straight on and head first, it would most probably fall on top of the car and head-on onto the windshield.
Anyway it scared the shit out of me when I heard a bang, the windshield cracked and I hadn't the faintest idea of what I'd hit.
EDIT: Oh, and that was yesterday - Today, when returning home on the highway, saw a convertible crashed onto the rails and the body of the driver impaled on the steel - sent shivers down my spine. Who knows if I'm not next...' "But the salesman said . . ." The salesman's an asshole!'

Re: Those of you...
No bull, you plowed it.
Good to see no serious injuries though, aside from the poor ox I would have to imagine...Last edited by Akitu; 10-20-2011, 09:58 PM.Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?Comment

Re: Those of you...
One very short, very bad pun. Oxen are bulls, hence the "no bull", and were often used to til farmer's fields back in the day by pulling the plow, or plough, however someone would like to spell it. So I've heard anyways...
To plow something is a slang term to hit said object.

Re: Those of you...
Thanks for the explanation. I'm usually the guy who has to explain other non-english speakers the jokes that are lost in translation, but that one eluded me completely.
I should also mention that, although I'm not quite sure about this, but I get the impression that the oxen around these parts are not as big as the ones on the US - at least, not the ones I usually see on TV.
Somewhat like the cars.

Re: Those of you...
Deer seem to like my Scion. Three deer in three years. Then I bought a set of those whistles ... they seem to work. I don't know if they work on oxen.
I'm glad that you're alright. The oxen probably out-weighted the car and you together. but I know that horrible feeling when you see them coming, and time slows down. You know there's not a damn thing you can do ... then WHAM! =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Those of you...
I've seen some little cars smash into some big cattle when I lived over in the Texas Panhandle....they can jack them up pretty bad....tho the craziest thing I've seen and it still awes me to this day are the tarantula crossings in that part of the country. Having to stop to watch thousands of big hairy spiders cross the highway....Thanks for the explanation.
