Huge ass Florida Raccoon

[AWE Daniel]

So I was driving the Avenger about an hour ago down these country ass roads and a raccoon walked across the road, and right before I drove by it, it decided to go back across and I hit it with the right front side of the bumper. It dented in the bottom part of the bumper but I was able to pop that back out, it is plastic after all. It also pulled the bumper partially off on the right side, so now I have to take the bumper cover off and reset it back on. The raccoon was probably 20lbs +, small dog size.

FUCK YOU RACCOON :flipthebird::flipthebird::flipthebird::flipthebir d:
(not that kind)

Pics in the morning.

It is the time of year were all the varmits are out with ther brew touring the back roads. It amazes me how dedetermined they are at running in front of vehicles. I have all but given up at driving at night.

Anyways I went to take the bumper cover off and see what was done and it is ripped and bent so Itll have to get fixed, insurance is gonna cover it.

So here are the pics, I didnt get a pic of before I popped out where the raccoon hit but here ya go.

That sucks man. Looks like about a $650 repair for a new bumper cover and paint.

Yeah we have to pay the 500$ deductible but it will get mopar replacements for sure.

And yeah its a good thing i didnt swerve and wreck the whole car.

Amazing the amount of damage that can be done by an animal to a car or truck that out weigh them by 200 -300%. Sorry about your luck hitting the raccoon, but at least your insurance will pay for the repairs.

IMO always better to hit it than to try to avoid it. :) I had a buddy total his restored fox body mustang because of a raccoon. Swived to avoid it and sent him spinning into a guard rail totaling that pretty car.

So the estimate is 865 hopefully itll be fixed this coming week.
