Killer_TC

Check this out.... I was driving my TC home from work and i was just leaving State College campus and this Voltswagon GTI (older GTI like early 90's bodystyle) blew past me... So i was like u son of a biatch... so i downshifted and slamed er into 3rd and took off after the guy in the GTI... and like 2 secs after i mashed on it... guess what ran out in front of me... yea a freaking big raccoon... i mean this freakin thing was like 2ft may 2.5ft long and prolly weighed 40 sum pounds or i dont know.. i just know he was freakin big.... i didnt have any reaction time to swerve or slam on the brakes because i was crusin at about 90 to 100 and as i hit the son of a biatch.. i heard this loud popin and pingin...and then i heard me run over my lower grill... so i pulled of the side of the road expecting the damage not to be that bad.... but my freakin luck my front bumper is all cracked to hell along with my grill... and my plastic like mud guard things underneath were demolished.... wierd thing was that i just messed up my front end... but surprisingly there was no blood or guts... just some hair that got caught on one of my muller hangers..anyways.. so i standin there on the side of the road looking at my baby's front end cusing up a storm.. so now i got to drive my baby around with a huge cracks in the front end and no lower grill...... So all u other ppl out there with your baby hurt.. I feel your pain... everyone else Drive Safe

I am so sorry to hear about your encounter... I must give you props bcus you told the best damn story... I would love to hear you tell that one live.

Hey, at least you know what happened to your bumper, mine has not been in an accident and it has just decided to become deformed and no one knows why...

Hope the repairs don't put too much of a dent in your walet.

Well spoken, Frank.

Keep the language down... it's entirely your fault. yes, you're mad, but keep it to yourself.

Stupid racoon. That's the reason I really hate wild animals especially raccoons, squirrels and DEER!

carwashindad

on a note about squirrels....studies....this was fun a fun study I am sure...if you see a squirrel heading into the road, continue at the rate of speed your goin and you will not hit him or he will miss your tires. As stupid as this sounds I have decided to follow this and its true.

These crazed creatures have become organized and are the suicide bombers of the animal world. Its a jungle jihad and you are the target. Its just not safe any more for innocent racers to be on the roads after dark. Be careful out there!

lol, sucks man, i killed a coon too, but i was going like 35mph and he managed to crack my bumper too.

Sometimes I read posts on here that I think should never be created in the first place. This being one of them. What were you thinking? Okay, some jerk in an old VW flies by you, so your first reaction is to chase him and go faster than him? What does this prove? Nothing, other than the fact that it proves that idiots like you are the reason I pay out the ___ for car insurance. Thanks!

Next time, think before clicking submit.

First day I had my baby I hit a skunk...did not do a thing to the tC. You guys with damage... are your tC's lowered or was them roadkill just that big?

b_wet

mine was lowered but the raccoon was like the size of a really fat cat or a med-small size dog

Killer_TC

yea mine was huge like a mid size dog
