Seriously, it's a bummer. At least it wasn't a water buffalo or something (I was hit by a deer -- not the other way around, way back when my Toyota pickup was only three weeks old. ARGH!
Lololol, this is great ^

Several years ago I got stuck in the middle of a herd of buffalo (bison) and two of them beat the crap out of my car with their heads and horns. I rolled down the window and punched one with my fist trying to get him off of the car. It hurt my fist and pissed off the buffalo. I even tried pushing them out of the way with the car. That was another mistake. It was like bumping a brick wall with a bad temper. I'd hate to hit one at speed.

There was a girl on another S2K site that hit a coon and it got stuck alive in her grill. They had a heck of a time getting it out.

Bummer about your car, and the critter too.

Is this story true? If so, that is absolutely insane.


Sorry to hear about the raccoon messing up your car, I guess I got lucky. The other week I hit a raccoon going about 45-50 mph. Thankfully it did very little damage, if any. Some very small scratches on the bottom of my lip (could have been there already). I got lucky, the raccoon must have been low enough that the lip hit him and then he went underneath the car. I looked in my rear view and saw he was not moving, so I figured he was done. However, while driving on that road about 3-4 hours later, he wasn't there anymore. Also, no blood on the car or anything. So maybe he made it out in the same shape as my car, little to no injuries.

sir, you are just bad luck. GTFO!!! just kidding.

man, i remember my coon story and my friend's. i was on my way home. i was taking the back roads, enjoying the s2k topless. i was going about 45-50. while i was going around a turn, i see two little glowing dots (coon eyes) and then i heard a loud bump. i drive a little farther down. i took a look at the car, and nothin. i have a clear bra and all it did was torn a liitle of the bra and took a pin size paint off.

my friend's story is a little more exciting/illegal. well, when he was younger and stupid, still is, he was street racing. while doing *alot* he hit a raccoon. well, the damage was a half the bumper literally split in half. he left half the bumper on the side of the road. and it threw the alignment way off.
