Smile worst s2000 experience =( MUST SEE

ok so i was driving on the freeway in miami, testing out my s2000 when i hit i big straighaway so i decided to see what my car can do and i was going about 110 and within seconds a racoon ran right across the road and i ran STRAIGHT over it. the thing went straight through my bumper and broke my radiator. when i got to the gas station it turns out that the racoon was still inside of my bumper and its head was hanging out of my bumper... worst luck in the world i swear... cracked my bumper too... check out the pics...

Luck is what you make of it.


If you were going 60mph, probably much less damage.
Remember from your high school physics that going twice the speed does four times the damage.

Hope you learned your lesson and only a raccoon was killed and not some kid wandering across the highway.

A racoon can **** your day up at 110 but armadillos kill........Anything at 110 other than a grasshopper and you walk = you are LUCKY!!
Sorry about your car. That is why we have insurance.

p.s. If you had hit a kid (because they are always playing in the middle of the highway) you would be looking at way more damage and you would have some kids head hanging out the front of your ride .

The chance that you will eventually hit something over the years is actually quite high. The good news is now that you have done it the probabibility of it happening again soon are slim so when you get your car back, drive it like its your buddies.

Err...that's not quite how probability works

I'd recommend being careful when you get your car back.
