Unhappy So, I hit a raccoon with my '11 ..

Little (well, it was a huge one) sucker ran in front of me on the way home on a very windy road. Wasn't even speeding..



Completely ripped off the bottom two latch/peg things that insert into the front bumper so now the lower grill doesn't insert all the way. Not to mention the weird long strip thing below the bumper was also ripped off, and now sits comfortably on the ground.

I'm hoping this won't be too expensive to fix. Definitely done driving down that road for a while.

Had an armadillo in the middle of the road on the opposite side of a hill. I was driving about 65 down this back woods country road, came over the hill, and BLAM!

I had a choice, hit the armadillo or the ditch. Wonder if the world misses him?

It destroyed the front of my 1999 Trans Am.

If it's between hitting a skunk or a ditch, take the ditch.

Damn smell took months to clear, then it came back every time it rained.
