I hit two raccoons this week..

shfeddy · 03-15-2014, 04:08 PM

Driving down the highway in the early morning and two large racoons ran out infront of me. $1300 repair shop estimste, but I just pay my deductible.

DEpointfive0 · 03-15-2014, 04:12 PM

Um... No reason that's $1300. Maybe $600-700

Bumper: (not the greatest price)

Raccoons SUCK!

Tear the h3ll outta your car.

Stoopid animals.

Raccoons have a relatively high incidence of rabies. You might want to get your Z vaccinated.

Costs extra to match up the stripe

i think it's that kamikaze angry bird that's doing something to your car.

Awwthentic · 03-15-2014, 07:05 PM

looks like a new excuse for a new front bumper/kit/lip

Masterbeatty · 03-15-2014, 08:45 PM

Make a hat out of them out of spite of hurting your Z or head rest covers.

Remove the angry bird. Cut off the raccoons tails and hang them there instead so other raccoons know what you're capable of....

We have deer down here...they are so much worse! Sorry about your car OP!

First animal hit with my Z was a possum. Stupid thing was 90% across the road, paniced and turned around to run right into my bumper.

This poor thing was maybe a foot from the white line on the other side of the road.. a foot from safety.. and turned around and ran right into my bumper! I don't think I killed him though, I think I just violently shoved him in a random direction.
