I should also note that the raccoon came out worse than the car-HA! The Z appears to have escaped unscathed.


UPDATE:
Went just now to check out the Z after hitting the raccoon this morning. Bumper lip is busted across the middle 2/3's of the lip, right in front of the rubber piece. :eek: OMG! How much is it going to cost to repair? Should I just leave it,(?) it is not visible unless you get down on the ground and look up. Not a happy camper -I hate raccoons.
:mad:

argh-I am so frustrated with the stupid things- I had to have my my Civic fixed THREE times because of them...I hate to have to NOT DRIVE the Z just because a raccoon MIGHT run out in front of me...

BTW-Love Mayhem! we had a design guy we called that, obvious reasons (teehee)

Nismo89 07-11-2012 12:39 PM

thought id throw some humor to lighten the mood lol

sad to see it happen to a fellow Z guy , this is a big reason why i only take mine out every once in a while... at least it was not a deer... those things are horrible when they hit

Thanks for the humor :tiphat: I needed it for sure.

Def rethinking driving it daily in good weather (I hate to admit that my husband maybe was right-(that I shouldnt drive it EVERY day :shakes head:)

No pics yet-car is in parking lot, secure site so maybe not cool for pics here...will try to get some later and post.
It cracked along where the lip is attached to the rubber piece that runs underneath it, right at the juncture of the two. Looks like the coon hit the rubber piece, pushed it back and caused flexing of the lip/bumper.

Exactly-thankful it was NOT a deer.
Hunt away Pauly-Way too many of both coons AND deer in ohio-bleeding hearts need to pay for all the extra damages.
