Can you believe it? Fat, little, bastard! I was going 40-45 MPH....I only saw him the second when he was right in front of me....and there was no avoiding him. My windows were down..and the noise I heard when I popped him (not literally) was so loud...and the noise coming from the wheel wells after I hit him....all I could picture was blood, guts & bones...kinda freaked me out. I was alarmed when after pulling off to see how much blood I'd have on my car, there was none. I was even more alarmed when I saw what happened to my front end! I had no idea that I would have even damaged the front end...though I've never had a car with a front end this low to the ground...so it kinda makes sense. My entire front 1/2 of my wheel well is gone (as you can see my headlight wires from the wheel well), my bumper is pushed in and torn (from steel frame within the bumper).....it's also quite odd to open the hood and look down at your wheels thru the engine bay. Car was dropped off to the shop today. Unfreakingbelievable!

 

WOW!! I did not think a Racoon would have caused that much damage. Good luck with the repairs.

 

poor raccoon, I mean car... ... did you see if it was still alive?

 

Bad luck with the wild critter. Hope the repairs and insurance claim go well.

OMG that sucks!! I can't believe it did that much damage. That is one fat a$$ raccoon! LOL!!

 

Was he like 80 pounds???

 

No kidding...you & me both. Yup....belly up on the side of the road the next AM when I drove by...no signs of my wheel well parts though (not that it matters). Thanks.

 

You should have picked him up and thrown him on the BBQ grill.

that was a fast raccoon to be going 40-45 mph, the raccoons around here only get up to about 24 mph

 

are you going the insurance route? how much is it going to cost otherwise?

 

Be happy!! It wasn't a skunk.

 

get an aero bumper now

 

These bumpers are flimsy IMO. If you wash weekly you know.

 

That is messed up. Flimsy bumper!!

 

Are you sure it was a raccoon and not a small child?
