But probably still complained it needed more power.

Racoon Power

One time I hit a giant pheasant. when I got to camp 20 minutes later I was pleasantly surprised he was sitting on the bumper. Man he was good wrapped in bacon on the BBQ.

OP, need to change your handle to "coon catcher" or something.

Haha CoonCatcher or RaccoonRocket (see what I did there?)

I pulled apart my bumper this week to try to fix the bumper gap, and I found a dead frog, dried out from the wind, clinging to the grill with a frozen look of terror on its face. Your experience was decidedly more whimsical.

Ewww!

Some good jerky right there.

Cute and furry and fun till ya get rabies

One of the reasons I changed to a mesh grille was so it would hopefully be more effective at blocking little birds from going through the grille (since there's a stretch of road on my commute where a bunch of dumbass birds just fly low across the road constantly). Don't think it would do much to stop a raccoon though.

While driving at the coast one day on a twisty two-lane I crested a hill with a blind turn and there was a seagull in my lane pecking at road kill. I couldn't swerve with oncoming traffic and it was too late to brake so began the de-feathering process.

The bird thumped against the floor all the way back. The mirrors showed a cloud of white feathers like someone opened a goose down pillow and shook it out. In the middle of all that there was a naked seagull stumbling around for a moment until the next car finished him off.

I felt bad until remembering the time a seagull dropped a big one on another of my cars. It was so nasty that it ate through the clearcoat so figured it was karma.
