Holy crap that is some damage, I feel your pain. Gotta ask though; what'd teh raccon do, dive right at your front grill, or did you try to dodge and lose control?

damn man. i feel for you, i just spent about 700 to get my bumper replaced. Would have been 900 something but I got my bumper on eBay for 280 instead of paying 475 at a dealer. But seriously, it looks like the raccon hit your bumper went through the lower grill, ricoched off the radiator and shot back through your grill...

you don't want to see what happens when you hit a deer.

From the looks of it - that must have been some raccoon! I've never really seen one in action - only as road kill... what do those things weigh?

Glad to see you are OK (most importantly) and are continuing a loving relationship with your adjuster... I am sure he/she will be thrilled LOL

Looks more like you hit a whole family of 'em..
Why can't they just not try to commit suicide?
