Default Hit a dead racoon on freeway yesterday..

So far looks like it just knocked a screw or something out of my bumper where it meets the fender, no damage to the exterior of my bumper.. it was dead on freeway @ 70mph or so, went right under me thought for sure it would hit because I'm slammed.. any damage I should check for?

Actually yes. You should take it somewhere that can spray the bottom of your car fairly good. I once hit a racoon in my last car and guts and blood got under the car and chunks of meat were hanging off parts. Later some gut slung onto(or near) where my air conditioning vent was, so if I didn't have it on recirculating it would blow dead racoon stentch into your face.... very unpleasant.

You sure it was a Racoon and not Tammy Fay Baker?

Yes, I am sure. He would have needed the whole front clip replaced if he hit her!

There would be pink makeup and a torn versace shirt if he had hit bozo the clown.

i'd check for a pulse and breathing. of course, this assumes that the racoon is still in one piece. if in multiple pieces, i'd say the damage was extensive.
