But probably still complained it needed more 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.

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.

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.

Toyota Raccoon Destroyer.

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.
