at least that one had a funny ending....
eight years ago, 1 week after buying a van (large family), we were driving to the north side, and some old alky tried to cross the street in front of us. i locked 'em up, he stopped on the centerline, then ran right into my hood. thankfully he wasn't hurt, even refused medical attention (he bounced and flew about fifteen feet, landed just off the curb next to a tree), but my hood never opened the same again. it's amazing how resilient the body is when relaxed.
sometimes when i think about that, i still feel the impact....
