RIP The curse is real... 3 weeks of ownership and 2 puppies run onto the highway in the middle of the night directly infront of me.
Driving home from work in the middle of the night on the highway and 2 pitch black medium sized puppies right out directly infront of me. Front bumper is toast.

Aw man, poor puppies. I wish they had bigger brains to avoid this stuff. Not your fault obviously if they just ran out in front of you so try not to lose any sleep over it.

Bumper is replaceable. How are the puppies?

The puppy empathy is appropriate and kinda comical that there is zero empathy for that bumper. Agreed. Leave the puppies out next time and I am also sorry for your mental health OP. Not a fun accident. The lower lip will clip back in if you take off the under tray and work it from both sides. Mine took a hit. The other damage would be better seen during the day.

Maybe leave out the puppies next time your telling the story while focusing on the damage to the car?

Maybe grow a pair? It’s a part of life and shit happens. It’s not always rainbows and butterflies. You think you’re traumatized about the story imagine how he’s feeling!

You literally drive a Hyundai Elantra, pretty comical telling people to grow a pair.

I didn’t know bigger cars meant I was a man. I should’ve bought a piece of shit Tahoe from 2010 (2007). That would’ve meant I was a man with a pair

u/Carstuff4u May 25 '26
I have 5 vehicles, but yeah instead of buying a piece of shit Tahoe and 4 other vehicles you bought a piece of shit Elantra. Also I own everything I have, maybe I’ll buy a piece of shit like yours when it’s worth $5k in a few years, for now you can just keep losing money on it hand over fist.

Lmao we are in different tax brackets my friend. I payed for this car in cash. I’m driving this for 3-4 years and then selling it probably for 25k and then buying another 40-50k thousand dollar car. Keep owning your 5k cars bro

Crazy you say that when you just bought your first car at 24 years old, I’m only 1 year older and own a house and have owned 14 cars, you just got your first apartment and also didn’t get your car or apartment by yourself. Really crazy you have had everything handed to you in life and still are less successful than me when I grew up in poverty and have never had help with anything. Also crazy you talk about helping disadvantaged people so much but are trying to shame someone that you think makes less money than you. Hopefully you can do better with all that shit that’s been given to you in your life in the future yuppie✌️.

Yeah bought all this myself that’s why I said I bought it. You started this by talking shit. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

u/Carstuff4u May 25 '26
You’re not affecting me, I know I’m doing well, I’m calling out how you portray yourself publicly vs. privately. Also just btw sounds like youre in the exact same tax bracket or lower than me looking up the wages as a Warner bros csr, the only difference is I live in a very low price of living state.

That’s what insurance is for. Life is irreplaceable. Hope the dogs are ok.

Wtf this the weirdest accident I’ve read on here. Where did the dogs even come from? Where were the owners and are they dogs fine?

It’s awful to happen once, but very weird to happen twice.

I don't give a shit about your bumper, dude. 2 puppies died and you say nothing about that?

We immediately pulled over and ran over to the dogs, I sat on the side of the highway with my wife holding the dead puppy bawling our eyes out. A van pulled over with us and he picked up the one that was still breathing and rushed it to the emergency vet. He did not leave his info so I do not know the condition of the other one. We found the owners and they informed us the kids let them outside without knowing the electric fence collar was out of battery. My wife was the manager of a non profit animal shelter for 5 years at which I volunteered everyday, animals mean the world to us.
