hey @TheHorta, can you get a better ID on that top row of numbers?
Maybe wipe it off / clean it up some?
I wouldn't do anything to the part. It could be held as evidence if they could find the scumbag. Don't want to make any changes to it.

Already found the part in above posts and the vehicle type it goes toJust the top row number man...
So sorry for your loss. I would have big time trouble restraining myself. In Texas we have fire View attachment 7421148
@TheHorta - I'm very sorry about your dog. There are a LOT of people I would rather see hit and run than a good dog.
I'm sure you are in a murderous mood and I don't blame you. And, we don't know each other at all, so please forgive this unsolicited advise but I'm with some of the others here....turn it over to the police lest you take precipitous action and end up in the cell next to this jamoke. See what I'm saying?
Keep an even strain and here's hoping this motherfucker gets his just rewards.
@TheHortaTake time. Get facts. Square up later.
Revenge is a dish beat served cold.
Im all for settling it Just be smart.
Sneakily go looking around for the jackass with. Missing right wheel well, on a GMC. A 05-09 judging by the calendar.
Didn't stop cause he was Drunk.
That’s about as good of an outcome as one can hope for. Sorry for you loss. I’m dreading the day mine goes. Don’t even want to know what that’s gonna feel likeSo... got a visit this morning from the dude (Mexican) who killed my dog. Swears he didn’t target him, but admitted to driving too fast and not paying attention. He didn’t stop because of my “reputation” in our rural farm country area as being the Chupacabre himself and didn’t want to die. I’m familiar with this reputation and cultivate it somewhat because I cruise the area late at night in full NV kit, sometimes on foot.
He says that’s what helps to keep the “malo” out of their little pueblo. A good unintended consequence, AFAIC.
He was on the verge of tears, very apologetic, said he should have stopped.
I’m friendly with most of the residents in Little Mexico. They’re very quiet, clean, family-oriented, and from what I understand, legal. A couple even fly Trump flags, oddly enough.
So, he’s offered restitution of whatever I want, basically. I’m not one to hold a grudge, so I’ll work it out with him.
He has a white Chevy Avalance, with a damaged right front. You guys were spot-on!
Greatly appreciate the outpouring of support and good ideas. Now I gotta go bury Nipsie. He offered to bury him, but that’s one thing I need to do. Choking up already just thinking about it.
I missed part of the tread where he came forward. It still sucks. Sorry for your loss brother.Damn Horta, sorry about your dog. People like that don’t deserve to breath our air.

There is always that chance, but as evidenced by the massive tortoise that was killed this summer exiting my neighborhood where you could see the tire tracks of the hard turn that went right over the body-line, I have to say that 99% chance the asshole did it on purpose. If not, then since it was in front of The Horta's residence, the correct thing to do is find the owner and apologize and show some dignity and respect. It's not like driving down the interstate and a wandering pup crosses the road. If the asshole was DUI to that level, then too bad he didn't try to kill a phone pole.One thing to think about is that the driver may have swerved trying to avoid, not realizing that if you drive straight you won't usually hit a dog, because they are used to vehicles going by straight...either way whoever that was driving should have come back, and been a man and made it right. Probably was drunk and worried about a dui...
I'd definitely report to the POlice and get plenty of pictures of that fender piece. Have them come over and get the piece and they can possibly trace the cars in your neighborhood. Sum bitch needs to pay and may as well do it 100% with the law behind you. I know 'Bama has become (finally) a lot more strict on animal abuse and this certainly falls under that (IMO).
I missed that...my bad. And despite him apparently driving like a nut; he came forward and that actually restores what little faith I have in humanity.Uh the dude who did it fessed up in person.
Nipsie. Yellow Lab. 12 years old. Best dog ever. Struggled with hip dysplasia for the last 2 years, but could still get around, just not very fast.
My elderly mother lives with us and saw the whole thing. He was actually off to the side of the road, at the end of our driveway. Says the cocksucker actually sped the fuck up and intentionally swerved to hit him. Wife and I were out to dinner. Killed him instantly. Took the motherfucker’s front end off (will post photo to help ID the vehicle). I guarantee it’s a MF’er that lives up the road a bit.
Glad it was quick. Reality is, he probably had 6 month or less left on him, and he was going downhill fast, but what kind of intergalactic mega-asshole do you have to be to target a dog?!
Gotta get my drink on. Or I’m gonna do something stupid.
