This is what a raccoon does when you hit him.

My old car is not bad luck!

It does suck to know that it has taken such a beating since I sold it. I would have kept it if I had room for three cars.

Good luck with the repairs.

Well for one this is not somthing that is my fault his kinda stuff just happens..
I take extremely good care of my cars..Garage kept at all times..Beating? How has it taken a beating?..this is what happens down a 20-25mile road that has wooded areas on either side and no lights and is 1 way..Everytime ive gone down this road ive seen atleast 3-5 dead animals.

I don't know, not having proper tranny fluid in it, the power steering flud coming out like tar, needing a new clutch, hitting his moms truck, and now the racoon, id say he is having some bad luck with your old car.

But it will get fixed like everything else Joe has done to the car, and come back again! I know he needs a truck for work, but hopefully he'll keep the SVT!
 
Not to mention this wasnt as bad as i thought it was..The radiator support on the bottom snapped off and made a decent hole..And the AC condensor just made a good crack..Nothing that major i have a AC Condensor coming just awaiting a Radiator..No body parts hurt

If you know all of this, why would you do 60-65 down this road at night? Seems like you were asking for it.
 
I didn't mean that you beat the car. This counts as a beating, but there is nothing you can do about kamikaze racoons!

DIRECTED TO JOE, NOT RANDY!

Be thankful it wasnt a huge armadillo! But, i did tell you to put screws in every tab to hold in the mesh, and you didnt listen, otherwise, the racoon would have never made it to the radiator!
 
I strongly doubt that some screws and mesh would have saved the radiator and other damaged parts.

The improper trans fluid I did not know about. I took it to a reputable shop and did not know that they put the wrong stuff in.

The clutch was needed because Joe missed second and overreved the car, not becuase it was going bad when I sold it.

The truck and racoon are obvious accidents.


I dont want anybody thinking I unloaded a bad car or something.
