OMG RACOON WHAT THE...RUN THE OTHER WAY YO!

HOLY FUCK...I WAS GOING HOME...
Out of no fucking where some racoon runs out from a parked car and BOOM! Right on my right bumper. My HID fogs are fine but the bumper busted open.

LEARN TO WATCH BEFORE YOU CROSS HOLY FUCK.

good luck

Ouch!

I don't know why so many animals seem to run *at* a moving car rather than away from it. Maybe they're suicidal.

Sorry to see that man. Well for those who don't believe a racoon could do that, I too was attacked by one about 2 yrs. ago and it cracked the bumper on my '05 NBP TL. Yes a simple racoon ran out in front of me, I saw it, but since I was going about 60 at the time, decided to just drive over it, that was a bad call for me. But I just got a '08 NBP manual TL-S, I traded the '05 and the dealer gave me about $1500 over KBB trade value. I don't understand it. But anyways, beware of the mighty racoon!

A turkey once ran out infront of my father's old 535is. I guess it jumped up and started to fly or something. Perfect level for a couple of headlights, grill, radiator, bumper, hood, you name it. Expensive! Small animals can do some serious damage.

Wow..that is a pretty nasty crack in your bumper. I am assuming the racoon is dead. I guess you have an excuse to put on the TLS front kit on the car now.

Why not? They can get up to 35 lbs or so, or roughly the size of a small dog.

lol dude, on Long island, the racoons out here are fucking huge, when i used to still care about my health, i'd go running in the morning and all the time you'd see some FAT and big, big as in like the size of a young golden retriever, crawl back into the sewer ducts on the side of the road....those things are no joke,


lol hey elkayem now's the chance to decide how you want to do your bumper! lol, on a lighter note if this makes you any happier, on my other car, these two pigeons were too busy enjoying NYC crumbs and flew off too late or too slow (NY pigeons are fucking BEAST).....anyway, they exploded all over the front of my car and scratched it up pretty bad. I had to drive around all day with that crap on my hood, in my ducts...lol
