Stoopid Raccoons got me again

ugh I agree, coon sucks. They are the reason I will never have a fiberglass bumper again. 1 mustang, 1 fiberglass bumper with 1200 in damage, and one dead preggers racoon that was the size of a dog later. I have learned my lesson. Thankfully haven't creamed a dear yet, but being in texas, I'm sure its just a matter of time...

Came up on a hill, crested, and lo and behold, a dead raccoon laying in the road not 50 feet from the crest. Ran over a dead raccoon and splattered blood all over my underbody. Finally broke the plastic chin spoiler (which is more of a beard, by comparison, now it is a five o clock shadow). The damn things just run across the street like nothing happens there. Only a raccoon though. Almost ran over a deer not a month ago.

One more time-I hate Raccoons. Pic too difficult to get it's that hard to see. I think it will stay "as is". It's only a matter of time until I hit another one (not on purpose for gods sake! I have a 38 for THAT!). No point in fixing/paying for it twice.

Just get yourself a nice front fascia for the day when it finally splits in half. AMUSE KIT!
