Lets play another guessing game!!!

[Shuboxlover 478]

If one was to hit a full size raccoon just to the left of the front license plate bracket, how much damage would it do to a 2007 Nissan Altima traveling 55mph (or 60mph) on a night when the temp was only 5 degrees???

Guesses??????

[rmaynard 15,407]

$1143.78

[bk-scouter 93]

$3200 ?

[Rollerman 290]

No idea about a Nissan Altima, but I have heard they will take out a scooter.

:text-yeahthat: is funny right there, you have to be a old member to get that.

But a guesstament on the car would be with pout seeing a pic, $2500

[bowtieguy 334]

Coon hides going for about 5 bucks now....might bring a bit more if license plate bracket is attached!!

[jdog_kustoms 82]

2550

[Jake Kuhn 1,554]

2551 :)

Looks like Jake knows how to play "Price is Right", plus he gets up early.

I'ld guess $4,500 (brittle plastic in Winter freezing really shatters & speed drops the 5º a lot more, maybe -15º).

But then Kelly does these kind of repairs for a living, "unfair advantage".

Did the engine end up in the front seat??? $3200 :)

[JC 1965 1,530]

Don't know about the Nissan but I would guess the raccoon got totaled. :hide:

[tunahead72 2,400]

5150 :music-guitarred:

[855ownerJoel 32]

2775.00 + tax (uncle Sam's share) and 1 pair of new undershorts $8.00 well?

[posifour11 723]

$1775

[Duff 206]

$2150

[JimD 3,345]

$1141.00

[kthack657 279]

My guess would be $2650 plus rental car plus tax...man that had to make one heck of a mess.

[smoreau 658]

front bumper, radiator, ac condenser, and lower brackets to mount it $2700

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Well, when one tried to outrun me on the highway about 5 years back it came to $1900 and change for a seven year old Ford Taurus. I'd guess import parts and 5 years inflation to get you right around $3000.

[CasualObserver 3,408]

but I have heard they will take out a scooter.

Too funny. There's some things you just shake your head and smile.

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,294]

I'll be interested to hear the final repair bill....I drive a 2012 Altima and hope I never have to tangle with a big 'ol coon...........at any speed!

Mike...............

[Shuboxlover 478]

WOW....you guys are really freaking good!!!!

Especially without seeing picks of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The winner is.............................................................remember, you can't go over...

KELLY..........................

$2527.25.....

There's a reason you do this for a living Kelly

Here's a list of the damage....not including all the little clips and fasteners...

A/C Condensor

Radiator

Lower Radiator support (composite)

Front Bumper

License plate bracket

All the plastic covers underneath (I think there is 3 or 4 or 5)

Catalytic convertor, and welding the Y pipe back by the mufflers.

Sounded like a bomb went off. Luckily it's still drivable, but doesn't look like it would take much for it not to be (i.e. radiator)

here's the varmint!!!!

[rmaynard 15,407]

Other than being dead, the critter appears to have sustained minimal damage. :)

[roscoemi 245]

Wonder what he'll collect from his insurance co? :eusa-think:

[Kelly 1,029]

What do I win???? I take WH parts!!!

I just yesterday changed a coresupport, rad, cond, grille, and bumper cover on a Nissan don't remember the model, but it didn't pay much I know that, about 18hrs not counting paint labor, I just do bodywork, we have painters that do all the painting.
