What's your "I hit a car with a yak" story?

I did once, and that car was totaled, man. And me and this yak, we just kept on our nomadic ways, didn't look back for a second. That's the only way to travel, if you ask me.

2. I was going to ask
"What's your 'I hit a Yak with a car' story?" But then I realized, I really didn't want to hear such talk! x(

So I made a Yak-Empowering post. I thought you'd appreciate it. :)

3. This is more hit WITH car but
I was driving down a country road at about 5:30 one morning, crested a rise, saw cattle on the road in front of me. I stood on the brakes but was still doing about 60 kph (35 mph) when I hit a steer broadside. There was $9,000 worth of damage to the front of the Dodge Ram 4x4. There was also a streak of vomit down the left side and a streak of cowshit down the right side where the steer's built in airbags had deployed. The steer walked away from this, was sore for a week or so but had no permanent damage.

4. "I swerved to avoid hitting a telephone pole
that was crossing the street!" That's how a guy I met at a party explained why his lower leg was in a cast.

5. Now that's some funny shit.
Reminds me of my dad. When I was young, a friend and I got in a fistfight. We were fighting over something stupid, but I was really mad, and punching him in the head. My dad walks down to the basement and yells to my friend "Jim, stop hitting _____'s fist with your head." We all thought it was pretty funny, and that ended the fight!

6. I actually know a stretch of road where yak/car encounter could happen
if one wasn't paying attention. People who put yaks in a field next to a bend in the highway are just plain ornery.

8. I didn't quite hit a Yak but came close.
He and his gang were on motorcycles at the time and they all came to a sudden stop. I knew I was in trouble 'cause the biggest and hairiest one got off his bike and trotted over to me with his
"Yak Angels" jacket. He ask if I'd ever been to driving school and
I told him to Fuck off....Well, that started a huge fight (of course) and we went at it for about an hour. Strange enough though,
he and his gang saw my actions as a sign of a true Male and invited me to their favorite Tavern. We all got drunk as skunks and the next morning I woke up next to the cutest little girl Yak you've ever seen...A good time was had by all. :)
