So lately I have been having a lot of bad luck in my s2000. Just last month someone backed into the rear bumper of my car while I was at work, and of course i'm the one that has to pay for it. I have a $500 deductible with my insurance, so I just found a used ap2 rear bumper, and am currently having it sprayed Suzuka, along with my ap1 front lip that I obviously have no use for now after you see the pics.

Now to last night, I was driving on the highway back from the girlfriends house (she lives like 20 miles from my house), there was a car right behind me, and of course a stupid rabbit runs out in front of me. I wasnt going to just slam on the brakes because I didn't want to get rear ended, and most likely hit it anyways, so I hit the brakes decently hard and went out of my lane to try and miss it, and what do you know, the stupid rabbit runs full speed in front of me. I hit it going a little over 60mph, and I just heard a loud thump hit my bumper. I slowed down and let the car behind pass, but everything seemed to be going fine, and I was like 10 minutes from my house. I was tired as hell so I didn't even look at my bumper or anything, until this morning. I go outside almost forgot completely about it, when I see a bunch of hair in my grill. The damn rabbit broke my grill, split the bottom of my bumper in 2, bent the A/C lines, and bent my A/C condensor. All this with the rabbit still in my grill. The rabbit is all in one peice, but it broke all of its legs which looked pretty discusting. I dont have a cooling plate on my car right now (I have one coming tomorrow) and it was a decent size jack rabbit. So I have to pull this huge thing out of my bumper and do some cleaning. So now I have fresh painted lip with an effed up bumper, grill, A/C lines and condensor. The condensor is almost completely loose now, it must have broke the mounting places or something, havent looked to hard at it yet.

So this is what I saw when I walked out this morning.

Bud, that really sucks. Shit happens though, you daily drive your s2k so some stuff is bound to happen.

 

suzuka's always survive

 

Yeah I know man. Well i'm glad I didn't buy an ap2 front like I almost did last month. I'm also glad it wasnt something bigger like a coyote or deer.

 

Yes sir, this is just an excuse to upgrade I suppose.

 

time for ap2 bumper.

 

Ah that sucks for both parties, one more than the other though.

Yea ap2 bumper time, I thought I saw one for sale in the members sale thread, I think it's berlina black though.

 

Yeah i'm going to turn it into insurance tomorrow since there is quite a bit of damage. Since my deductible is $500 thats hell of a lot cheaper than buying all new parts. I'm going to try and get an ap2 front and lip, i'll even pay the difference if there is between the ap1 and ap2 front.

 

pics of the perpetrator when you get him/her out?

 

I took him out but I didn't take any pics. I just wanted to get him the hell out. His body was in good shape but all of his legs were broken which looked pretty disturbing. I hestated to even post these pics here, but yeah. He was a good 10lb rabbit give or take a few pounds. Just goes to show you what a 10lb animal can do going a little over 60mph.
