Default Huge ass Florida Raccoon
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 :flipthebir d:
(not that kind)

Pics in the morning.

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