Have you ever hit an animal with your car? How much damage did it do?

My son hit a racoon coming off the freeway because a Semi was riding his ass and he was afraid if he stopped the semi would hit him. I am glad he didn't get in an accident with a semi but my front bumper is wrecked and I can't afford to fix it so I guess my car just has character now. Feel bad for the racoon he said he was going about 50 when he hit it.

Yep. While going through Roswell NM at 2 AM., the biggest boxer bulldog I have ever seen suddenly appeared right in front of me. I didn't brake. My truck was tall enough that I thought going over it and not dipping the front end down was going to be better for the dog. However, the front differential gave it the smack down with a resounding thud as we passed over it. But it did get up and run home.
