While traveling down a hwy at 55mph a hound dog darts in front of me. That is a loud thump or two the dog does flips in my rear view mirror get up and runs away, no joke! Ok ac still cold good sign I think. Well when I get home I look at the front of the truck good no damage. I open the hood and A/C Condenser is now bent in and the plastic frame around the bottom is broken off. Looks like the dog hit just under the metal bumper and pushed in the lower plastic part, then it popped back in place. I look more the bottom of the fan shroud is busted got pushed agents the lower pulley. And I also see that the bottom of the radiator is pushed back also, the two studs sticking out of the bottom of the radiator are sheered off. Everything is still working so far but but the Condenser is only hanging by the top two bolts and is about to slip down. This has got to be some kind of joke. So much plastic up front and nothing to back it up. This is supposed to be a truck. The only problem I've ever had with the truck is the rear speed sensor and I just replaced that. But this takes the cake.

If that dog was someones child and that "plastic" up front was all that stood between you being at home with a repair bill and being in jail charged with vehicular homicide.
Do you not have insurance?

This is not Iraq. Generally most people do not get jailed when the are obeying the speed limit and something or someone darts out in front of them in a display of suicide or stupidity.
Read it again.
