Car + Opposum = me owned
 
Well i just got bent over a table by an oppossum. Comn home nad it runs out into the road and wham. Took out the entire front clip thing below the front bumper. Jammed a ton of crap back in my wheel well so i cant steer. Busted the front plastic piece in half pretty much. Ill get pics tomorrow. It was one big mother fucker. Anyone know if my insurance will cover it, and do i need a police report?

Ouch. They say everything is bigger in Texas, but I've never seen a possum big enough to do that kind of damage...how freakin' fast were you going??

BigJim 03-29-04 02:45 AM

i was doing 60 when i saw it, pry around 50 or 55 when i hit it. im thinking it stood up, cause it did damage quite high up

get the guts cleaned up, that shit will start to smell rancid

Well its not as bad as previously thought. Dented in my front left fender pushing all the plastic into my wheel. Ripped the front plastic piece off, somehow the bumper is like an inch from where its supposed to be, and my fender cracked.

Well there she is. My dad says we are gonna try and pull the bumper out and fix it, and hope we can get everything to align up right.

Off topic question... TWO BUCKS?! You must have had a wallet full of coupons...

My bumper is separated like that first pic...both sides..It isn't that much of a gap, but I'm not sure how to get it back in closer...

uhm, yea......gaps suck. My friend hit a deer with my car. It didn't look like it did th much damage, so where just pulled off the smashed up panels and replaced them. Then i was looking at it one night, there are ALOT of freaking gaps, or lack-there-of. Turns out my radiator support DID get bent so it throws off the rest of my car. Anyway, just wanted to share a story. DAMN GAPS!!!!!%#@$@

BigJim 03-30-04 03:44 PM
