So, picture this: you're cruising down the Australian outback in your classic Ford Mustang, wind in your hair, enjoying the open road. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a kangaroo decides to join the party. Not on the passenger seat, mind you, but right in front of your car. What do you do?
Well, if you're Christopher Mies, a German racing driver, you hold on tight and hope for the best. Because, let's face it, when a kangaroo and a Mustang tango, it's not the kangaroo that's gonna come out on top.
When Roo Meets 'Stang
Now, you might be wondering, how fast was this kangaroo? Fast enough to not see the shiny, red '65 Mustang barreling down the road. Boom! Contact made. The 'Stang, it seems, didn't appreciate the surprise visitor and decided to take a little detour into a nearby field.
Must Read
Imagine it like this: it's like you're walking down the street, minding your own business, and suddenly a giant, furry pogo stick jumps out in front of you. You'd trip, right? Well, that's basically what happened to poor Chris' Mustang.
Kangaroo Jacket Not Included
Now, you'd think that after a run-in like that, the kangaroo would've been roadkill. But no, this marsupial was more resilient than your grandma's favorite tea cup. It hopped away, none the worse for wear. Talk about a lucky escape!
Christopher Mies reacts to 250km/h kangaroo crash:…
As for Chris, he was left with a banged-up Mustang and a story that's gonna be the envy of every car enthusiast he knows. I mean, how many people can say they've been in a car that's been in a kangaroo fight?
Lessons Learned
So, what's the moral of the story? Well, if you're driving in Australia, keep an eye out for roos. They might not be as slow as they look. And if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, just remember, it's not every day you get to say you've been in a 'Stang vs. Roo showdown.
Oh, and maybe invest in a kangaroo-proof bumper. Just a thought.
