Today, I don't care for COONS!!

[Theresa]

Not our esteemed CS and LCS - but this seemingly innocent, cute, furry THING




How come these things are now bigger than small children, as big around as a garbage can and apparently made of LEAD







a couple of weeks ago, I had a truck hit my back bumper and it didnt even leave a scuff mark on my car - The truck had pretty significant damage - it bumper was all dented under and came completely off the truck body on one side...my car just sat there, untouched.

but this COON, comes out of NOWHERE and takes out my front bumper. The pictures cant begin to show the detail, the bumper is cracked all the way across and a piece, that was held in with a metal thingy (You see it hanging out) just BROKE. ((dont you love my technical knowledge?)) IT DENTED MY LICENSE PLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have ANY IDEA HOW MUCH A FRONT BUMPER IS GOING TO COST ME??? I already have to pay $3.65 today for gas and am entertaining the idea of selling my car - then this COON comes out of nowhere...we were literally driving about 25mph leaving the hospital.....and we heard this BOOM - and felt a bump or two. I wont tell you what we saw in the rear view mirror.

What are these things eating? and who is their insurance carrier!!??!!??

Today, I hate coons!!

yeah, did I mention I hate coons???

and I'm not to happy about having to pay so much for gas.

and it irks me that a car can hit my tank of a car and it does nothing, we barely roll over a big fat COON and it destroys my bumper. it cracked it all the way across....I just got the underside fixed from when I took out a curb and nailed a stop sign during the last ice episode....

had to replace my radiator, some support something another and the fan shroud (?) - it wasnt cheap - now this!!

so, yeah, I'm a tad snippy

Dont get me started on my boss and his incompetent 18 yr old daughter!!

The reason it broke is because of where it suffered the stress, the bottom part of the bumper. Chances are the truck hit higher up than the coon did and the strongest part of the bumper assembly withstood the impact. The bottom part of those plastic bumbers don't generally have anything behind them for support.
