Is this an insurance claim from the raccoon hit?

It is. I insured it with full coverage when I bought it. I figured the trailer hit would be a little soon to call it in as well as being an opportunity for me to see how well I'd be able to paint something bigger than a hood scoop or motorcycle fender. But since the raccoon damaged the radiator support, I figure it'd be a lot easier and faster to have someone else handle the repair this time, otherwise it'd most likely just sit in my garage taking space for who knows how long again!

By the way...


If you're done with it, can I have my raccoon launcher back?

No [huge] hurry but one of my neighbors had asked about it the other day.

You've not received it yet? I sent it back 3 weeks ago - right after I used it! I think the FedEx driver kept it for himself....

His truck a little beat up and I'm not sure his boss knows about it.

The grand total for the Scion's body shop visit was almost $2800. Damned raccoon!

It's a good thing I had insurance on it.
