Arg! I hit a stupid raccoon on the way home from watching Harold & Kumar 2. Now my bumper has a 2 inch crack and the lower grill is broken.

Now I got at least $200 in damage because of it.

*Correction, if bumper is to resprayed, I'm looking at around $400*

but they're so cute......

 

I hate them too!!!!!

If it makes you feel better, my last meeting with one was worse.

Yes, this is the very expensive nismo front for the sedan too.

 

^ that's nasty

Empz - sorry to hear about that;
hitting critters can cause a LOT of damage!

 

Empz, sorry to hear, man. We don't have raccoons out here. But we do have deer, elk, moose, coyotes, badgers, porcupines...any of which can do some damage to our rides. Glad you're safe.

 

Don't forget the skunks. They can get reasonably large as well.

 

^ & smelly

 

Before, during and after.

 

you should consider yourself lucky that it only caused $200 in damages...

 

holy crap....

racoons are getting fkin huge these days.....

 

Sorry to hear that. G/L with the fix.

 

my friend and i hit a rabbit
doing a good 110km/h
cruising alone and just smashed into a rabbit
his brandnew bumper maybe a day old got destroyed

 

Spent the afternoon cleaning off the raccoon fur, and repairing my bumper.

Was able to snap the grill back in it's place, though the clips are a little bent. The grill itself pushes against the bumper enough that the pressure keeps the crack 'together'. So it's acceptable, for now!

If the raccoon was bigger, it wouldn't have been such a relatively simple fix. Guess I was lucky.

at least it got what it deserved

 

Haha this reminds me of the time a cop at the collision reporting centre telling me about the story how he hit a deer and it went INSIDE his car through the windshield lol
