Imma be honest with ya, I ain't gonna stop to let a moose lick my car, but I ain't exactly gonna stop a moose from licking my car either.

Them's some scary fuckers I'm not messin' with.

No I'm pretty sure they're encouraging people to get out of their vehicles and engage in physical combat with moose

If a moose wants to lick my car what can I even do to stop them?

Honk your horn? Open your window slightly and yell insults at it? Couple options

If the 1600 lb murder beast wants to do something then all I can do is startle it or make it mad.

Now you made me actually read the article

If it's safe to keep going without running into the moose, then we would recommend people just try to slowly, carefully drive away. Just try not to let moose lick your car.

Give it a muffin. May lead to other shenanigans, but it will stop licking the car.

....why do they like licking cars?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Salt from roads

with the bonus possibility of crunchy exterior with juicy meaty middle.

Road salt gets on the cars. Animals like salt. Car tastes good.

Makes sense to me

Where does a 300 pound gorilla sit?

Anywhere it wants.

How the fuck are you going to stop a ton of salty, antler wielding brutality from licking whatever it wants? If you're going slow enough for it to lick your car, you are officially a salt lick, and you don't piss off something big enough to literally shit on your head.
