 once hit one at 50mph in an '81 4000 and it got up and ran off into the 
 desert while I had to stop and pull out the front fender and airdam enough 
so 
 they wouldn't rub on the tire.  I ended up getting charged by the apparently 
 injury-free Javelina but that's another story...
 
 Paula also hit one in an Acura Vigor and ended up doing $5k worth of damage 
 to her car whereas the Javelina ran into the desert uninjured.  Fortunately, 
 it didn't charge her but she did say she could see it walking around in the 
 brush as she waited for the tow truck to arrive ... like I said, nasty 
 critters.

Those little buggars are in Texas to. A real problem is that when hit they 
can get under you car and end up rolling it, or causing the vehicle to loose 
control. They do however make good Barbecue...
