Well, this happened.....

Well on the way to dropping my brother off at work around 5:30 in the morning.. A stupid giant raccoon decided hey this is the perfect time to commit suicide.. This is the end result...

Radiator is shot, and the mount is bent.. Needless to say the raccoon did its mission.. FML..

Don't look at it! Unfortunately, it won't go away if you don't look at it, but it's easier that way.

Lol? You don't know how i treat her? But to enlighten you, she gets the utmost respect from me, she is the mother of my first born daughter. But back to the Acura talk, no parts in yet, or their just taking their time to start the repairs lol..
