Hit the worlds largest raccoon this morning on the way to work
Darted out in front of me, thought about running out of the lane, and the turned around and decided getting hit was the best option... anyway it really tweaked the front bumper and what appear to be metal mounts on the front drivers side of my 2009 Yaris Hatch. The car drove fine the additional 50 miles to work no problem...
While the car is totally paid off and I own it free and clear - I'm in a bad spot because I'm not sure if the insurance company will try to total the car or what instead of repairing it. Its got 320k miles and while it drives perfect and is in great shape otherwise I'm sure it's got basically no value and the insurance company will try to give me like $1500 for it. I'm thinking the radiator support brackets got slightly twisted... hard to tell in the pics but I'll take the bumper off and try to get a better idea of the damage when I get home. On the bright side the bumper was already cracked from some errant road debris late last year and I'm about to swap a Yaris S bumper on and totally repaint the front end. On the down side I wasn't planning on doing that this week!?! |
