Nailed a Raccoon.

Now I need a new bumper, I was on my way to Chicago and it was either Hit the Raccoon at 80 mph or hit the other car. I chose the **** and about were the plate on the front is was pushed all the way to the radiator. So, the whole deal underneath with all that plastic is destroyed. I was able to pull out the bumper so it didn't look so bad but I will eventually buy a new red bumper and install it myself.

I wonder how hard will it be to find a new bumper.

Good gracious...that poor raccoon got annihilated...but it messed up your bumper that bad?? It must have been an enormous raccoon...

Did you have the sport bumper?
I nailed a racoon as it turned midnight for 2010 just blood splatter no damage like you...But thats how I started of my New Year LoL
kind of off subject but while we are talking about killing animals with our cars. A groundhog ran into my rims while driving about a year back... pretty messy sight.
Raccoons can get pretty huge! There was a momma and three kits nesting by the hydro pole up the road, getting into my garbage at night if i wasn't careful! School bus nearly hit them. Nailed **** in my tercel, but just bottomed out suspension. Hit numerous squirrels cats possums birds frogs mice, i guess i drive a lot! A deer meant the end of my topaz tho! I hope everyone is ok.
Shouldn't be hard to find used bumper/cover etc. Let us know
So far I have never hit any type of animal. 08V, the Redhill is bad for people hitting animals. Especially since it's so dark at night. My brother hit a coyote and damaged his BMW last summer. I guess it's gonna happen since we made an expressway right through their homes!

one night i hit a opossum on the way home from work heard it bounce down the whole underside of the versa till it hit the rear axle no damage though
I hit an armadillo earlier this year. My carbon splitter was full of chunks and it smelled terrible after sitting in the sun all day.

omg u practically cut the sucker in half!
:( So much animal destruction...I have never hit anything!! Not even a plastic bag or non living debris...but, for our safety, I know we have to kill/hit them and not another car or swerve off of the road and that could be very bad/even fatal. But, it's still sad.

Everyone be careful! And hope you get a new bumper soon.

I remember you telling me about that.. Sounds disgusting though, especially after getting all nice and toasty in the sun.
okay, I pulled the bumper out and it still has some nice cracks and what not.

I will probably leave this bumper on during the winter because of the sand they put on the roads. Now, can someone take a picture of their grill? Mine has an even gap all the way across and I'm wondering if the **** took out the support bracket (bent) and the hood can be pushed down about an 1/8th of an inch.

This was a yankee ****, Big ole boy.
