Raccoon got my Smart
On my way to work early this AM and a " Large Raccoon" ran in front of me and I was doing about 60 MPH. Needless to say my little car is busted up pretty good. It took out both fog lights, lower grill, right fender is cracked. The worst part is it caved in the air conditioning condenser and the radiator too! My little 09 has only 1200 miles on her!

BBQ the raccoon and sell it to offset the replacement parts.

So what is the estimate of repairs for the raccoon? Did he have insurance?

raccoon = BBQ = money for replacement parts = insurance policy ?
