Angry Stupid racoon broke my G **Pics added

So my friends and I are on the way to the cottage. 2 cars full, me in my G and my friend in his beamer. Im driving in front and my friend following me. As we are driving in the country side where there are almost no cars at all at this time (2am) we come to a slow moving pick up truck. I step on it and start passing on the left (2 lane HWY 1 lane in each direction). Speed is roughly 110 km/h (64mph).

Out of no where this mentaly unstable racoon decides that he should try a daredevil stunt to impress all the other racoons and starts gunning it across the road from right to left. His timing saves him from the pick up truck (at this point Im right beside the pick up) but unfortunatly for my G and for that stupid little ***** he isnt so lucky for the rest of his trip across the road.

I see him running to the left and since the pick up is beside me I have no room to manuver around the racoon so now he is staring death right in the face. At this moment his life flashes before him and we feel a pot-hole type bump and there is one less retarded rodent on this planet. Point of impact was directly under the bumper on the left front side. The racoon literaly exploded from the hit and his body parts went flying in a spray in front of the car.

Takes me a few seconds to absorb what just happen then I initiate an emergency landing. Damage report made me frown. The little bugger took the plastic fender cover that sits in front of the left wheel on inside with him. How that happened was as the front bumper passed over him the plastic fender piece gripped him and tore right off. I picked the piece up and now I have to re-attach it but I need to do that with care as I dont want it to fly off again at high speed. Luckily that was the only damage or I would have been real pissed. If his life sucked that bad he should have at least thrown him self under a train or something but my G? WHY??

Moral of this story - racoons are idiots, dont ever trust them

Pics

I hope they all load...

BS............We all know that you hunted down that racoon and ran him over on purpose.

WHY? Why would you kill a poor little racoon?

Sorry to hear that man. Welcome to the club! I hit one too & the total bill was about $2,200 for a new front bumper, new wheel well lining & new headlight (covered under insurance).

racoon is not a rodent....
Although they look like rodents, raccoons are in the family Procyonidae, with ring-tails and coatis. They are from the order Carnivora.
FYI have a nice day.

I admit it, I wasnt on my way to the cottage... I was reaping the country side looking for potential targets to oblitirate using my G...

that little guy got it bad, he should have stayed home with his wife and kids that night
