Coming home from work last night I hit a racoon with the wifes 02 civic. I can't belive that a racoon can do this much damage.

I know how you feel!

A while back I had a cotton tail rabbit do damage to my f150. I've been driving rurally must of my life. I'm not proud of it, but I've run over many a cotton tail and other small animals that made a bad decision. Never on purpose I always do my best to miss but I'm not going to wreck my vehicle to save an animal. I've also hit a deer a time or two but the worst I ever hit was a bull. Late one night a few years back a yearling decided to run out in front of me and my wife and I hit him.

Anyway,we were driving along one afternoon and I spotted rabbit running out of the ditch to dart across the road at the last minute. Needless to say it was a bad call on his part. The rabbit must have pannicked or something as soon as he got on the road because he must have jumped straight up right in front of the truck. We heard a thump and noticed the rabbit spinning in the air just a bit in front of us and then it disappeared out into the ditch. I was going 60. When I got home, I found my passenger side headlight housing busted and the grill busted underneath the head light too! And it knocked the light bulb out as well.

i work at a dealership and one time a car came in that hit a racoon and it caused $3000 in damage, it bend the radiator and the front bumper and hood. They must have been going real fast.

LOL, okay. :rolleyes: You better check your facts there. Honda makes some of the safest cars in the world. America is just catching up on compact cars. You want a heavy duty truck then go American(Toyota and Nissian are working into that market too). You want a top notch compact you better look somewhere else. I've had escorts, a focus, and a neon and they don't touch the quality of my honda. Also my handa was made by an American UAW worker. Most hondas are made here in America. I don't want to hear any BS about supporting a Japan company ethier because the company is traded globaly just like Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Chrysler isn't even alowed on the fortune 500 list anymore because with Daimler. It's the 21 century people, the best you can do now is make sure your car at least kept an American worker buisy.
