Who in Austin Hit a Cow?

A drug rep who knows about my Lotus fetish told me he saw a bright green Lotus that hit a cow somewhere around Austin. I was shocked as I hadn't seen anything about this. anyone know anything? I'm just curious as to what a Cow would do to a Lotus. hope everything is repairable. he said it didn't look too bad, something like a truck hit it first, and the Lotus didn't look like it took the "grunt of the impact"....

Would that qualify as "bump steer?"

Re: The question... "Who in Austin "Hit" a cow"...

come on now... as much as they drink... the real question should be "Who in Austin HASN'T HIT a cow"... LOL...

Actually, I've heard some of the chicks in Austin are quite attractive...

...my SO's mother barely clipped a deer last year in her C6 corvette, causing about $2500 in damage - i can't imagine how thoroughly a cow would devastate something as fragile as a lotus...


...just for reference, at highway speeds a moose can easily take out a full-sized SUV; i had no idea they could run that fast... (rimshot!)

Yeah I was like "NO ****?" he swore. he kept saying "I don't know anything about those cars, but it looked just like yours, only a different color. so it may have been an Exige, ....he said bright green, so I assume KG....rare color from my experience(remember I live in Hell, Lotus' are extremely rare here in general.) I just knew it'd be on here....guess not.

Slibo, if you're drunk it doesn't count.
