I smashed a raccoon on the highway going 130K, dented my front bumper broke it in 2 places and dented my new grille. sorry no pics, cant find the charger for my digi. Beware of the forest dwellers.

how much does a new bumper cost ?

 

Dang! that reminded me of one time @ school, after finals me and my friend go crusing in his Dodge Interped, while on this highway we were going ~90MPH and this HUGE white dog runs into the high way we bump into him partly, he got away runing through the highway and we got these two dents in the front bumper, one of them just popped out nice and fine after a few days weird..

why not get a new bodykit?

peACE.

 

That sucks man. Here is Georgia we have to worry about opposums and armadillos more than raccoons. Those armadillos are like bowling bowls !
Anyhow, when i had to replace my front bumper it costed me $175 U.S. plus $150 U.S. for a paint job. Not too bad I guess

 

In Florida it's the same thing, in the suburbs though.

You see dead animals on the road always. I have personally ran over a racoon once in my dads car. The power steering went out, and dented the bumper.

 

Same thing happened to me, cost more then 2k to have everything fixed and painted!The racoon tore up all kinds of stuff underneath the car too, insurance paid more then most of it! Good luck!

 

Where did you get your bumper?

 

I got it at nissan. Their price was $200 but I had a Money Mailer coupon for $25 of any part over $200 They also painted it for me. This was an OEM bumper of course

 

I hope you made a hat out of him.

 

I almost hit one on Fri night on the drag strip in Steele. Damn thing came running out and i had to swerve after the finish line.

 

I watched a squirrel go under looked in my rear view mirror and it did a hoppity skip and twitch. Luckily I was driving a beater. So Cal has mostly skunks and very few deers. It would suck for 3 weeks to run over a skunk.

 

Poor Raccoon!

 

Damn animals mess stuff up...

Pfft.. u guys think racoons and armadillos are bad? Try having frickn huge coyotes! Those things mess some stuff up! Then if you go up north a little bit, u have to worry about Deer too..

 

Got Pix?

 

my buddy hit a horse...in his prelude it was 140 dollars away from being totalled out. it was brand new at the time.

 

I hate people!!!!! they are the ones who cause door dings, bump into your bumper, lean against your car, drive like azz hats, than people wonder why Im **** with my car, keeping it in good condition is a full time job on its own!

 

Try the elusive Saturn L200 like the one that backed into mine at work, . JK.

 

atleast you don't live in texas where the armadillos roam. I was driving back from waco one night on highway six goin 80 and 'lo and behold... an armor-plated giant rat w/ the speed of a sloth sitting on my lane in a one lane highway. No way out. My bumper, radiator, water pump, fans, and lip all had to be replace.

 

Thank you, flyboi; you have given me the best excuse not to visit Aunt Joyce in Waco that I can possibly imagine. Muchas Gracias.

 

Thats when u take a hammer to it.
