    Ok guys and gals. It's been 3 years. I think I'm ready to talk about this.

    I hit a full grown pregnant cow at 70 mph with my 2005 4 door sr5 tundra. There was 9 of them crossing the highway. Couldn't get it shut down in time, should've been paying a little better attention. Truck had just turned over 200k. The only picture I have left is the destruction. Totalled I got 10k from insurance. Talk about holding value.

    I stepped right out, no problem. The cow died. Obviously the truck was totalled. 20161023_061859.jpg

    Good you made it out unscathed. Now the real problem is what Tundra are you gonna get, and what color. Don't let them tell ya white is the fastest, that's just a myth :devil:

    What really could've horned me is if it was posted open range. I would have been responsible for the cow too.

    Surely I’m not the only one that thinks it looks like Mater after that.

    Walking away from a wrecked Toyota truck is something we have in common. I t-boned a Hyundai a couple years ago and my Tacoma became a Tundra.

    And that was the smoothest reference to beef that this thread is gonna get.
