well, the other night i was driving home from work at about 8:15 pm and a raccoon hit my car (or was it the other way around?) well i don't remember the exact details but i was driving down a road w/ no streetlights and a raccoon darts across the road. as soon as i see it, i slam on my brakes but not soon enough and it hits the front of my car...i get out to see about the raccoon and it is lying there twitching...at least i didn't kill it...so i called animal control and they took it away...i come home and look at the damage...$HIT...my front bumper is cracked in half and one of my aftermarket foglights (don't have pics up yet) got pushed into my radiator...i'm glad i didn't install my hayden tranny cooler yet, but my radiator has some sort of dents in it...i'm hoping i can get a bodykit out of this but i'm not sure at the moment
