Was driving today and hit a pair of antelope on the highway. Cars lookin like its gonna be a total loss, damage is over $11,000 so far. Oh Well time for an S4.

Nothing insane. Cruise Control on at 110ish with no braking what so ever.

Speeds always a 'factor'

hahaha yes I know... it was in jest. My next question was actually going to be 'did you even get to touch the brakes?'

you really fucked up that one little nagger there, looks like he's 20 feet from point of impact!

Crazy man. That one pic is nuts - red streaking all over the road. Glad you're ok; if one of those decided to flip into your windshield, that would not be pleasant.

(Rather... that would be even more UNpleasant...)

ewwww you knocked the crap outta them..... well the one on the hood for sure!
Lucky neither one came through the windshield at you. Pyrrhic victory for the Audi.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I think if you hit the brakes, your front end would of dipped down and had more chance of flipping into your windshield, so glad they didnt

Renee, how much to get that cleaned up? I'm thinking it might take a full four stage polish to buff that out.
Probably better steam the engine too, it might be somewhat shitty . . . .

Sucks about your car, OP.

haha there are no real antelopes in north america, its a 'pronghorn', but they might as well be cause they're fast as hell!

looks like you hit both when they were exactly the width of the car OP, err impeccable timing?

I have never hit anything, but i was referring to the fact that i see Antelope pretty much every time i have ever driven to Saskatchewan.

Nope, need to do that drive. I'm always going West, so I see lots of deer, elk, sheep, goats, etc, but never an antelope. I lead a sheltered existence.

Ah, that would explain it. I regularly see large herds of antelope with anywhere from 20-30 antelope grazing. The closer you get, the more there seem to be, then once your inside Saskatchewan they can be spotted almost as frequently as horses lol.

That's crazy that you hit not one, but two Antelope, at the same time.

How so? I've seen deer hits on people that were doing the speed limit that look MUCH worse than the OP's car.

Ha definitely. As a matter of fact I had the computer out and was writing the estimate while I waited for the tow truck. Damage is over 12k. Pretty much the end of that car.

lol Audis fucking rock.

My friend's dad killed a fucking moose with his S4 in Banff a couple years ago, got it repaired and is still driving it to this day.

Wonder if a RS4 would take out a bear or a buffalo.

Yeah... right. A moose would crush the shit out of that car (and driver)... hell, it would crush the shit out of an F350 super duty. I would love to see some proof tha a normal size sedan hit a 1000lb animal and just... "got repaired".

Back on track though, thats badass you got two at once!!
