The article claims the car had $5,400 in body damage. See, even in metric dollars, my Car #2 was worth less than a thousand at the time. I wouldn’t have washed it, either - I might have even resorted to kicking the dent deeper to give the car show customers their money’s worth.

When my wife and I visited Yellowstone, they were selling this book in the visitor centers. It includes the story of a photographer who was gored by a bison.
(Yellowstone’s an absolutely stunning park. I hope we can visit it again.)

Oh yes! Some are nice but most will step on you, squish you to the wall, wander up and bite you. Sometimes cars would stop and people would wander into our cow pasture like it was a petting zoo. Twice I got there just in time to see them running from 15 mobbing Angus. Heart warming site. Most novices think that cows are “utterly” docile and suddenly there’s several hundred pounds of running/leaping/kicking coming straight at them. Sharks kill on average one person a year (USA) Cows kill 22.
I always love these national park bison tales. Most people are so disconnected from actual animals these days. All they ever see are house pets.

Ralphie is a Bison but she’s female and they’re smaller than the males. She also isn’t made to run if she doesn’t want to.

My sister’s Austin convertible ( think it was an A-40… ) got hit by a deer attempting to cross a road in B.C.
It was going full tilt ( the deer, not the Austin. That was probably doing about 40 mph). Put quite a dimple in the door. Got up, shook it off, continued on it’s way.

This reminds me of the thing recently about the black bears and Subarus, and how people think bears are cute to get close to.

(I was shocked to find that we were 47 comments in to this thread, and no one had mentioned M Bison)
@tjedison It is true, “You don’t have to run faster than the wolves. You just have to run faster than the slowest member of your party.”

Unfortunately, the people doing this think that they deserve to go wherever the mood strikes them, and mess with whatever they find there. If there are negative consequences, they always blame someone/something else.

I like how “oh my god” “jesus” and “what the fuck” appear to be universal now.
That was truly scary.
When my husband was little, he was at Yellowstone, and a group of people were taking pictures of a moose. A big Mr. Moose.
A man decided to get close, and started feeding Mr. Moose those awful circus peanuts. He continued to feed him until he ran out of them. And of course, instead of putting the last few on the ground and walking away, he hand fed him the very last one.
When Mr. Moose figured out that there were no more circus peanuts, he headbutted the man straight in his face, and then sauntered away.
So, this idiot, with his nose clearly broken, and bleeding from a cut, stood there hopeful, as a park ranger had arrived.
And instead of receiving aid like he expected, he was then loudly and roundly chastised by the ranger for being stupid.
And then, the ranger got back in her vehicle and left. Leaving the man standing there as the crowd roared in laughter for the second time.
