This morning, on my way to work, I came over this rise in the road and there was this large raccoon crossing the road. With wet pavement at 55mph, there was nothing I could do. I hit him dead center and felt him all the way back, under the car. He cracked my front bumper and bent the lower grill.  (rant over)

Ouch,sorry to hear that.
I hit a raccoon last year with my Mystique at about 110kmh. Stupid thing just wandered out into my lane and by the time I saw it to swerve,I caught the poor bastard with my front left corner. Smashed my fog light,broke the lower grille and tore open the corner of the bumper. I got out to inspect the damage,just to see the bugger crawling away slowly to go die in the ditch.
The girl that was with me was pretty freaked out. I thought it was kinda funny,until I saw the damage done to my car then I was like dammit!
I ran over an already run over 'coon a couple weeks ago withmy 'tour. No damage,just a bunch of blood and guts sprayed all up my wheel wells and side skirts,and probably knocked a sensor loose because my CEL came on instantly after I hit it and it's been intermittent since.

I once hit a possom going about 30 - 35 mph in my Cougar. It hit off to the side of my dragon z bumper. Luckily, since the sides of the bumper look kinda like a snow plow, it just scooped up the animal and threw it off to the side. It didn't damage the bumper at all. Just a big muddy streak from where it hit.
People shouldn't run a business if they can't keep their priorities straight or their end of the contract up.
