Default so a raccoon ran under my tires

on the final hour at work which was a total nightmare... i decided to go out for a lil drive thru the city and ended up further then i thought with some country roads on the 3/4 of the drive it's nice and peaceful at 530am on the back roads. and on one of those roads a raccoon suddenly appears on the edge of the road and trys to dart across and failed... ran over it at around 45mph with my driver side wheels let me tell you it went BOOM (crunch) BOOM (crunch)... and that lil bugger thought it was funny to take out my inner fender liner along with 'em, sheered it right off!!! O_O which that was the crunching sound.

i didn't even bother to veer to avoid it on wet pavement

btw i didn't look back either about a half mile down the road i decided to check out what damage it did to the front half and at that time i only saw it popped out the driver front lower spoiler the tow hook cover... when i got home i checked it out even further and noticed the inner fender liner gone and the fender mounted turn signal indicator popped out o_0

i got to admit it's a pretty sturdy lil car after such a slightly lil larger then chipmunks and squirrels i've hit in the past with my car...

replacement parts have been ordered
