Lost his ride, and doesn't even get to stock the freezer. Bummer, man.

 

i'd be curious to see other similar vehicles in the same type of accident.
again the patriot proves a safe vehicle.

 

Ya, if you click through to the newspaper article there are a couple more pictures.
The passenger cabin appears fully intact in all of them.

Biggest thing I have ever hit was a porcupine (and that was large enough) but I just missed a black bear a couple of years ago. That could have been interesting but the Pat stopped in time.

 

The only cars I know to be "moose Tested" were Saabs.

 

Is what happens when you head on a 1800lb wall of meat!

 

Wow....and I live in daily fear of a deer strike....but a moose? That would SUCK!

 

It's a daily occurrence here...one of the perils of living this close to heaven...LOL:smiley_thumbs_up:

 

Happens here all the time too, but not anywhere near heaven for me AKANGELBEAR!
In my 09 Patriot I almost hit 5 different moose over the course of my time with it. All driving north for some flyfishing early morning. Missed them all due to the fact the thing would stop on a dime, braking was unreal on that thing. Unfortunately I don't have the same confidence in this 2012 patriot with cvt, much harder to brake and seems to keep pushing when you do. Gonna have to be a lot more careful this spring

 

It's Jeep's darn ABS programming. With ABS disabled the breaks on the Patriot will stand you on your nose.

Ignatz- Maine created that slogan to fool you and suck you in so they can take all ur money then eff with you. These days days it should definitely say "maine- the way you don't want life to be, but we're gonna make it that"

A lot of states wont let you keep road kill for various reasons, one being some ah... less educated people buying beaters for a couple hundred bucks and clipping deer purposely. vehicular poaching at its best

 

The press clip stated that the local road maintenance crew made off with the moose corpus. Even if allowed by law to keep it, Pat owner was out of luck there.
