Z vs Raccoon... :(
I was going to my gf house (around 11pm). I exit the highway to a 2 lane-road. And then I see 2 cars and one guy was trying to race the other one... but the first seemed not to be interested 
So I floor my baby.... I run the orange/red light at around 60-70 miles... and then I see a raccoon cutting my way. I knew I will hit him 
and so did happen. Everything was so fast that I even didn't brake.
I hit the raccoon (or something like this) with my bumper (passanger side). My bumper is cracked and dented... then the windshield fluid container is cracked, the hoses are deattached... I am missing the plastic in the wheel area....
I will go to the dealership today in the morning to see if there is something else... I also need to order parts.

If you slowed down or braked the impact wouldn't have been as hard. Basically you f*cked up. Hope the damage doesn't cost you too much, doesn't insurance cover it? Hope things work out for you bro.

There was no way/time to slow down... i was running the lights and it happened just at the end of the intersection. By the way the raccoon was pretty fast - i was a second and he was half way on the road.
I have a $1k deductable... so I guess it will be my a$$ paying for it
