OK, I'm vaguely pissed now.

I bought season ticket to the Old Creamery Theater in Amana, Iowa. Not a problem, it's seven cheap dates over the summer and fall. Coming home from the last show two weeks ago I hit a raccoon. Not my fault he ran out in front of my Honda Civic. There is a "THUNK" followed by a "SPLAT". After I get home Technowiz asks "what up with the front bumper?"

The Civic front bumper is out of place and has raccoon hairs wedge in the front driver's side. Ewwwww. After drive the car a couple of days I notice a funny sound coming form the cooling fan near the radiator. OK, I've got the Honda schedule for an oil change this weekend so I don't worry about it. On Friday, I take the car into the dealer and I tell him what happened. "I hit a raccoon" He looks at the under neath the car and says, "Yep, your frame is bent, your radiator is damaged and you lost the mountings for your cooling fans, and your reservoir. Yeah, that's what happens they (the raccoons) go right up under the bumper and into the radiator..."

WTF!

I call the auto body shop, my insurance agent, and the High Priestress.

Long story short, the little bastard did $1600 damage to my Hybrid!

I'm sooo going to the sporting goods store and buying a bis Ass shotgun. I going to kill so many of those little bastard!
