Is that for real?!

actually yes....His name was Roger and he was rescued after his mum was killed on a highway and it was raised in a sanctuary in Alice Springs. He weighed 91 kgs and was 201cm tall died at 12 years of age.
Here's what he did to a metal bucket.

Hi Andy,

Hitting a live Kangaroo makes a mess of one's car. I had a $12,000 repair to a BMW under insurance many years ago.
This young bloke must have had a bull bar fitted.
There were heaps of dead roos by the road on my recent travels.
Don't know what the fuss is about. ( I'm not a tree hugger )

I find it surprising that a suspension ball joint was damaged to the extent of mandatory replacement. Just shows how badly engineered the Maserati are.

I think this is a bit of a stretch. This is probably akin to hitting a curb at speed, in a low slung sports car. Something has to give to prevent bigger damage further back.
