Very strange problem...
Very strange problem...
I was driving home from work the other day, same way as I always go. All of a sudden a llama barrels out from behind a wall, right in front of my car. At this point I am doing approximately 45 MPH. I tried to swerve out of the way, but it was unaviodable. I was going too fast and the llama was too close. On impact, it flew up onto my hood, and through my windshield. Miracously I escaped with only minor scratches and bruises, but my Civic coupe did not. The llama had severe head injuries and was euthanized. Both front airbags deployed, I need a new windshied, hood, bumper, radiator, and I am not even sure about any mechanical damage. I was able to drive home, but it is leaking antifreeze.
I was just wondering if this has happened to anybody else before?
Thanks

Happens to me all the time. j/k. But seriously, couldnt you take legal action against the Zoo. I dont know if a lawyer would wanna take that case, but I think there is some libility on behalf of the zoo. WTF is a llama doing running wild in the streets of Detriot.

[hr]Are you being sarcastic? Of course it wasn't a wild llama, it was an escapee from the Detroit Zoo.[hr]

Why is this classified as a "strange problem"? You make it sound like it was a manufacturing defect or something
