It's great that everything worked out for you, but your car can get pretty messed up next time, and you'll have to shell out for the parts. I was talking about this with a friend last week. He told me that he had many coyotes around his farm, and he had to check out a
guide to get rid of them. As I understood, he used wolf urine to keep them away, and it worked, but when he was returning to the barn in his tractor, he hit a coyote that stuck in his radiator just like your raccoon. He didn't call the SPCA and managed to get the animal out himself. It was alive, too.
