When myself and the other unit arrived, He had 1 tire changed already and the two of his other tires were completely flat. He hit a porcupine and the entire road was littered in porcupine quills! These things were extremely sharp and very hard(like bone). A few of the quills actually punctured the front bumper and remained stuck. I removed them with my multitool. I found the porcupine about 50 feet away in a ditch. It was about the size of a medium sized dog and all of it's quills were gone. Probably the strangest thing I've ever seen someone run over, though it didn't happen to me personally. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 12-15-2007, 10:37 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 | thats just wack loll __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last A friend is someone who is willing to step into a flame to save you........aka a 318ti | | | 12-15-2007, 10:42 PM | #8 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Dog and with my ti 2 weeks after I bought it brand new from the dealer in '98.

It took out my corner light. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 12-16-2007, 04:24 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | 1.
