Yeah so i was coming back from Keith's house last Monday and hit I giant raccoon. The grille took all of the damage, but now I need a new grille.

But anyway here she is...:

OptiCon · 09-18-2006, 10:15 AM

Same EXACT thing happened to my friend in his T-bird. Same damage location too.

But he lost an oil cooler in the process.

Thats not too awful bad. I have seen raccoons take the bumper right off some cars.

So beetle vs raccoon and the beetle takes the win

RayArroyo · 09-18-2006, 10:34 AM

that sucks!!!!!

Kerplunk105 · 09-18-2006, 10:41 AM

Thats horrible

XxaltezzaxX · 09-18-2006, 11:06 AM

That blows, I hit a raccoon once but I had no damage.

Bean Bondurant · 09-18-2006, 11:15 AM

Did you get is insurance info? Was he drunk? Did he run?

D Money · 09-18-2006, 11:31 AM

dude I think you might have hit a dog or the biggest racoon ever.

Snoozie · 09-18-2006, 12:03 PM

Seriously the raccoon was atleast 25lbs!!! But he had no insurance, nor was he alive long enough for me to ask him. But i think i found a new grille for cheap thanks to andru1313!

That sucks raccoons can get pretty large. I think that is vehicular homicide err rodenticide.

elmer1987 · 09-18-2006, 01:20 PM

sry to hear, recovery is a long process

**TROLL** · 09-18-2006, 01:22 PM

FASTERTHANU · 09-18-2006, 01:23 PM

That's a shame. do you have any Duck Tape?

Snoozie · 09-18-2006, 01:40 PM

I'm not ghetto enough to duct tape my grille...the bumper doesn't look too good Bryan, but it was like that before the raccoon came along

jspek · 09-18-2006, 02:22 PM

james_ls · 09-18-2006, 02:29 PM

Snoozie · 09-18-2006, 02:32 PM

And the grille is a separate piece that screws off.
