driving back from college today i saw something run out quickly in front of me. I didnt have time to brake or anything. I dont know what it was, but i think it might have been a big fucking possum or a raccoon. The bastard knocked my front lip off, destroyed my passenger side fog light, and bent my valence. When i went back to retrieve my lip spoiler, no dead animal, no blood, just a bit of fur attached to my lip spoiler and thats it. The fucker did all that and i dont even think i did anything more to it than cause it to have a bad night....goddamn it...im drinking and passing out.

well not to sounds like a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, but my parents are still paying my insurance while i am in college...and i know i dont have full coverage, but im praying for comprehensive. In the meantime anyone know where i can get these parts? i dont think the valence is completely destroyed..just needs some attention. The passenger fog and the under lip are fucked though.Comment

j/k - I've never hit an animal. Hope I never will. I do hope the little guy is okay though. Better bent valence than a dead animal IMO."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

We have craploads of racoons and opasums. I wouldnt care if I hit one of those damn things. I'd be sad if I hit a fox thoughOriginally posted by psloan View Post1987 325is - sold

generally i would feel the same way, but i really think that it was something like possum-zilla or something so i dont feel horrible. If it were a dog, cat, deer, etc. i would feel terrible. But seriously, possums are nasty little fuckers and i cant say that i have too much sympathy.Originally posted by psloan View PostComment

On a random tangent, I hear rumors of some kind of giant ass rat type animal living in luisiana. People actually hunt them for the sake of killing off their population. They eviscerate animals with teeth....What are those called again?

Nevermind. Did research. They're called Nutrias... They chew on stuff like tires. And exhausts. And kill puppies or something. Apparently there's a quota to kill them from what I understand. I'd hate to hit em. Up to 20 lbs.

I dodged a rabbit in the middle of NV once. That was fun. lol
At least it didn't hurt REALLY bad. Still sucks to hit stuff though, bummer.- Sean HayesComment
