Stupid Armadillo

obviously if it was that dark and you had no time to react, you were going too fast for the conditions, even if under the speed limit. it's your fault, not the armadillo. as for the tray, you can order it from the dealer. they probably won't have any in stock so will have to get one from nissan. may take several days to get. in the meantime you can just remove it. it isn't that important for the car.

Sorry OP. Regardless of who's fault it was, blaming the armadillo will not help. The driver, not the dealer, is on the hook for the repair which must get done.

Deer are the trouble around here.

I totally agree, Don't blame the armadillo. I scan the ground for hundreds of feet ahead by the second because the country and southern roads are always filled with debrid and Gators. (TD slang for exploded tires). I've veered particles and animals at 100mph let alone 65mph. Sh1t happens, you had an accident. But dude you killed an animal you will not eat. Have a little bit of a heart. Your car can be fixed. That armadillos done for without being on someones table. Hopefully a vulture will come along and eat em' if not? You wasted the life of an animal for no reason.

Yeah at least make a helmet since you killed em... lol

Well props to you for being to alert, you certainly wont be hitting any armadillos.

I have to admit though that making a helmet was definitely not the first thing on my mind. But now I know
