Angry Audrey vs Raccoon on Hwy 58 . . . need shop asap




I've probably logged on over 200,000 miles of personal driving in my
lifetime and has never had to deal with roadkill. Driving back
from Vegas through Bakersfield doing about 85 . . . the stupid raccoon had
no chance. It cleanly took off 20% of my bumper AND
the wiper reserve tank. At least I didn't swerve and spin out or
hit a deer either.



Please let me know if there is a good shop around San Mateo area. I know Michelle knows one but haven't heard back from her. Last Nov in my six car pileup taken to Cooks . . . they suckass.

I need to drop her off today b/c I'm flying out to NY tomorrow morning. Thanks

Henry, the best I've found is in San LoranZo --Group II --Bob -- Leave car, pick it up when you get back, it will be perfect--Priceless. Great prices also tell
him the black 350Z.

"O" sorry for you & the Raccoon . good luck, Jack

Ps you'll have it back in time for the "T.I. Show"

They are edible.

sorry about your car, but not the raccoon. they used to be my #1 predator with my birds until I put up an electric fence. I did my part keeping them off the roads and the planet. there used to be a raccoon cemetary out in my back 40.

Time for a bodykit!


How bad is the damage? Is it just the bumper and reservoir? If so, it might be cheaper in the long run for you to just fix it yourself.
