Damn! I was lucky enough they didn’t need to do any body work. I just got mine back from the shop and now always worried about these stupid animals. I hope your shop does a good job for you. Check everything over before driving away. I had to return twice after finding things they didn’t fixyes its bent...just a little

Unless the animal is massive such as a deer, I wouldn't swerve out of the way. I know a guy about 15 years ago who was driving his car and swerved out of the way significantly to avoid hitting a rabbit. He ended up losing control of his car and wound up going down an embankment where his car rolled over 4 times. It is a good thing this was pre-Tesla glass roof days and it wasn't a convertible or else he probably would have died. He was a bit banged up but fortunately overall ok.It was actually smart of you to not avoid the Raccoons, if you had ended up in the ditch your Insurance company would have argued that you made it an 'avoidable collision' and not paid out. My agent always tells me to take the deer not the ditch.
Having an suv or truck is a blessing when you hit these stupid raccoons lol! Now my civic which only has about 4 inches of clearance it’s game over as you saw above! Never thought I had to keep an eye out for those things.They will generally fuck off if you clobber
You got lucky, there fella.
I creamed a huge raccoon with the wife’s CR-V.
No damage.
We could hear it rolling along under the car and the the thump and bounce as it went under the one rear tire.
I cringe to think of the carnage that would have ensued if we were in my Civic that night as I clipped it dead center on the vehicle.
