I was happily driving home from work one day when out popped a bunny rabbit from the side of the road. I was only going about 45 mph but he darted out so fast in front of me I didn't even have time to hit the brakes. The result: THUNK!!! I looked back in the rear view mirror expecting to see a poor squished bunny but to my surprise- NO BUNNY? Where did he go? I guessed he might have made to the side of the road and kept going. After I got home I checked the wheel wells to see if the bunny was there but no bunny or bunny parts. Then to my SURPRISE when I looked in the front grille and THERE HE WAS - SITTING THERE LOOKING AT ME. He even looked rather comfortable. But he had destroyed that black plastic grille. Apparently because the car is so low he was sucked up the front grille and slammed against the radiator at 45 mph. :ee He didn't look bad but he died on the way to the animal hospital.

Now I have a problem with the grille. I can't simply buy a new grille because there is nothing for the bolts to hang on to - the plastic is ripped out. Anyone had this problem? k1: Do I have to replace that whole front end?

 

just buy a Costal Metals front grille to cover it up.

 

Rabbit killer!



Sorry about your misfortune. I'm careful around my rabbit.

 

Damn, that's like a show cars ultimate nightmare. I never thought the S's front looked like a scooper like the crazy body kits, but you proved me wrong J/K. Well just remove the remaining plastic grill, and replace it with an afteramarket one or make your own. The thing that sucks here is that nothing came out okay, your car is damaged and that bunny is dead. I miss my pet rabbits, but the one you hit was porbably about the same size as the on in the picture to punch out your grill like that.

 

Think of it this way...it could have been a skunk

 

or a goose..... damn G-s2k hit a goose one day and from behind it looked like he hit a big pillow

 

Much worse than a goose. Just think of how long that stink would last before you would be able to get back into the car to drive it again. That musk can last several weeks!

 

It would be hard to attach an aftermarket grill if his original one is gone. Most aftermarket grills attach to the original one.

 

I hit a turkey vulture at about 120mph (back straight, mind you). The bird disintegrated, but it also tore apart my front bumper and bent my hood. It's a rather big specimen, ya know.

The other night I hit a oppossum in the E55. THUD.

 

an oppossum, or a possum.
