And I use the term correctly, as George Carlin pointed out. If the collision is avoided it's a "near hit". If you "nearly missed" something, that means you hit it!
Wife parked the truck in the driveway in front of the empty stall (2 car garage) which tells me she has intentions of driving the Solstice on Sunday. Weather held out so we took it into town. (She still giggles out loud driving it.)
On our way home she takes the twisty route. We come over a rise in the road and at the bottom of the gulley is a bird on some road kill. She makes the assumption that the diner will leave the dinee in time. Turns out to be a red tail hawk and he's hungry enough he's going to try to take dinner with him but it's a tad heavier than he thought. He can't get enough altitude and the wife doesn't slow down. Thunk off the front of the car! (The hawk peels away over my head.)
Wife says nothing. I say nothing. About 2 minutes later I turn the stereo down and say "Everything is fine, honey."
"Oh, you SAY that, but I know how you THINK!" (Like I'm a big prick or something?) lol!
"I'm probably just going to be picking some dead meat our of the grill."
Nothing. Not a scratch. Since last fall I've nearly tagged 2 deer, a turkey, and now we finally hit something! I was really kind of hoping to get the front end repainted! :lol:
