4 mins ago, it's pretty dark out and my car has shitty lights as u can see it's an 88... So yeah it ran out from the sidewalk, I saw it, screamed, then proceeded to run it over, heard two clunks, and look back in my mirror and saw it run away.

I know this is facepalm fodder but don't raccoons usually travel in packs? My area is infested with racoons (dunbar) will they smell the blood or whatever it may be from under my car and seek me out? they are vicious animals and i've heard bad things about them. Now i'm really scared that one or two will be just waiting there underneath my car (parked in a carport with no garage door or ne other protection) not only racoons but crows, squirrels, rats etc...
Should I worry about getting attacked by animals? I think i'll be taking my car to the car wash even though I just waxed it 2 days ago :(, just to make sure that the bottom gets washed off.

PS anyone else ever run over a racoon? I doubt i actually ran over it, it probably just hit something under my car but i was going at least a good 60km/h so i'm surprised it didn't at least get knocked out, I saw it run away pretty fast...

[jbsali]

nothing to worry about. is this a serious post? lol its hard to tell

[ilvtofu]

Lol sorta, i'm a new driver and i've got goosebumps all over, I've never hit any animal or anything, hopefully it didn't bleed racoon juice all over, I don't have the guts to see and it's too dark outside right now.

[koukimonst3r]

I almost ran over a racoon the other night. I was at burnaby mountain and I got shit scared so I stopped and let it pass. I was scared it might fuck up my car coz of how my front bumper is LOL

I believe when they cross the street, they go alone. When they hunt for food, they travel in packs.

[ilvtofu]

I think you're right though, most likely if it ran away it's probably good to go.. but i'm not kidding about my phobia of wild animals, I like pets but racoons/skunks/squirrels/rodents/etc. really creep the fuck out of me

^as long as it doesn't hunt me down

[koukimonst3r]

Haha dw man, you're not alone. At least your front bumper isn't like mine LOL

[ilvtofu]

Is yours a snowplow? my car rides pretty high up so it's better for this situation also i was accelerating so maybe that'd make a difference, RWD FTL lolz maybe it wouldn't have had hit if there wasn't a driveshaft or a diff back there JKJK RWD FTMFW!!!

[koukimonst3r]

well, it's not really low but I mean the gap could probably fit a racoon or two haha
I'm dropping it tmrw with some shocks/springs. my car looks like a 4x4 right now so high LOL

I guess the raccoon is fine if you ran it over and it kept running, probably did a good couple cartwheels under the car though.

[Rikaro]

lol I thought your post is about you worrying about the racoon you hit haha

[Gh0stRider]

you goto jail.....badboy!

[wnderinguy]

Bastard... it F@ckin hurt!!!

[koukimonst3r]

^ HAHA

[ilvtofu]

^^lol that's adorable, sorry, i'll make it up to u

[dkvby]

i did once and crack the lower lip, claimed ICBC and paid 300 deduct (doesnt affect rate). But u hv to show them the blood/hair though lol

[koukimonst3r]

k now I gotta be more careful

[ilvtofu]

imma raise my car to avoid this stuff

[Carl Johnson]

Your first reaction would hit the break first (with no car behind of course) and not scream and ran it over. That's like seeing a huge pothole on the road but proceed it anyways.

[Black SC2]

See if you can find it. If the thing is lying somewhere bleeding out, you should finish it off or take it to a shelter. Don't let the thing suffer after you smash it.

[Leopold Stotch]

go to a carwash and get the underbody cleaned

[SkinnyPupp]

Yes raccoons can smell blood, and they do travel in packs. And even worse, they can smell fear. You better stay indoors tonight at least, and take a weapon with you when you go to check out the car tomorrow.

[triplexcel]

My area is infested with racoons (dunbar) will they smell the blood or whatever it may be from under my car and seek me out?

yeah they can small blood like sharks can in water. jk

don't worry, raccoons are pretty damn tough animals. i once a car role over a raccoon on boundary and it was a pretty sad sight. that thing was scrabbling in agony. i'm pretty sure it was donedesss.

[TOPEC]

be glad that u ran over a raccoon and not a skunk.

[penner2k]

MOVE!!
I've heard stories for raccoons actually breaking into a house and killing people while they sleep after they run over another raccoon..

[Nightwalker]

^ for real, I bet it got your license plate number. You're so fucked.

[124Y]

Dude...you're lucky you didn't hit a deer or anything larger lol...

[orange7]

didn't some dude with a TL-S was hit by a raccoon last year?

[hyek]

my friend probably hit the same raccon lol

[240sxGGYY]

one down , thousand to go

[thumper]

you should have went back and made sure it was dead :mad:

sorry... all those times having to deal with these oversized rodents trashing everything that isn't bolted down and grows out of the ground every night.... argh.

[racerman88]

they are going to be looking for revenge. Better watch your back at night.

[ilvtofu]

oh my lol, this thread is creeping me out...
The racoon didn't really die or nething, it actually ran away really fast, I didn't see it coming till it was about 3 meters in front of my passengers side tire, and had i braked i would probably have had crushed it and shredded it, I'm just surprised the thing didn't faint or nething, so I doubt it's that bad, maybe it hit my dangling exhaust...

oh my killed by racoons!?!?!? if i leave food out for them does that make it worse?
I don't think there was blood but i might bring it to car wash just to be safe...

[greendb7]

haha yesterday I drove by a skunk lying on the road with it's guts exposed cuz its ribcage was ripped open by a car, it was disgusting as hell and the smell spread to like 2 streets away

[q0192837465]

a rat died in my engine bay. God it smelled bad

[sonick]

didn't some dude with a TL-S was hit by a raccoon last year?

Bastards. What was the raccoon driving?

[hamsup]

i would just go through a touchless car wash.. that way the spray will clean off the underbody.. =)

[you]

So yeah it ran out from the sidewalk, I saw it, screamed, then proceeded to run it over

lol that just gave me a funny pic in my head:haha::haha::haha:

[Adsdeman]

I once accindently hit a sheep on a farm with a rangerover oops. It does feel shitty to kill a animal with you're car. I appologised to the dying sheep and he said np so i think im in the clear.

You'll get a mail in a week or two from the Parks board/Environmental Police. It'll usually state all the BS and fine you about $200 dollars.

I'm serious....

[Vansterdam]

dude they gonna fucken swarm you as soon as you leave your house

[optiblue]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It should be fine! I literally ran over a squirrel before! It must have ducked and it cleared all the way under my teg and it ran away after!

[ilvtofu]

lol somewhere out there theres probably a racoon with a combover or a huge "land in middle of island" bald haircut,

To clarify I really didn't kill it or run it over, it went under my car and hit something but it had the strength and the was conscious enough to run away.

youre doomed then....u shouldve finished it off before it got away. I didnt think you needed a weapon when going to check your car, but maybe you do now.

[ilvtofu]

It wasn't like the racoon fainted for a bit and then got up in which case I could've stuck it in reverse,

The racoon ran straight through my car if you know what i mean, now it sounds like that was one tough racoon... uhoh

[CRS]

You actually hit a baby that was crawling.

Good job asshole, I hope you're happy with yourself.

[Mancini]

These buggers are fast and strong, as you've already experienced. Your car couldn't even take one out. They can jump to about belt height and climb up to your head in a split second from there. If you get 2 or 3 doing this they'll take you down. Game over. Possibly even one.

[LenovoTurbo]

How far did you hit it from where you live? If it was pretty close, lock your windows. Dont answer your door if you hear a knock.

[jaretron]

They will not rest until you are dead.

[LenovoTurbo]

Yeah, wash your car ASAP and if possible, move. Tomorrow morning when you look out your window, you might see like a pack of 40 raccoons standing outside in line waiting for you to come out.

[gilly]

just wash your car if you are scared.

[ilvtofu]

Approx 10 blocks away, well it was really the racoons fault for jay-running across the street,

LMFAO now i can't stop thinking of those ppl getting attacked by cats or squirrel images... thanks guys...

[elkayem]

I hit a racoon last year around the same time. lol

Watch out for the raccoons. I saw them trying to abush me after that with AK's and shit.

According to RS members, raccoons will call ICBC too. Report it before they do!

Oh and also, when you report it, you can make them 100% at fault, tell ICBC the raccoon jumped out on purpose just so he can get the insurance.

[elkayem]

didn't some dude with a TL-S was hit by a raccoon last year?


Bastards. What was the raccoon driving?
Bugatti Veyron.

I got killed.

[elkayem]

my friend probably hit the same raccon lol
Yes Harris. There is only 1 Raccoon in GVR.

P.S - Sorry about triple posting. I just realized. LOL

[skyxx]

^ Well, the only one that jumps out at people's cars....:)

[drunkrussian]

ran over a cat once. No crows or anything.

[ilvtofu]

was it black? is that an omen?

actually while we're on the subject of running over animals, does anyone go out of their way to purposely run over crows? I don't know it's like stepping on leaves that are crunchy, TBH i honestly have never hit one even though I try :( my mom parked her MPV on top of a pigeon once and the whole front tire was covered in guts and feathers.

[Soundy]

was it black?

A black coon? Isn't that redundant?

Oh wait, you meant the cat....

[drunkrussian]

i don't know the colour, i just remember biggie was playing and it ran into my tire while trynna cross the road...then there was a thump, a tilt and a crunch. I only felt bad cause i may have pwned some lil girl's pet...at least a racoon is just a diseased street animal.

my dream is to run over a bird and then run up to it and shit on it, as revenge for years of shitting on my car, friends, friends' cars, me and my clothing. I hate birds

Wow, you must be one unlucky guy to get shit on by birds.
Same to your friends.

Maybe it's the cat you ran over, probably it WAS black.

[!Tigger]

oh shit that racoons gonna call icbc, and state you did a hit and run... make sure you dont drive to stanley park too.. they'll be waiting

[ilvtofu]

Or anywhere in north van... even my own area near UBC has tons of em, i'm gonna move to richmond or something they seem to have less

[Ikkaku]

Yeah, you should've done what they do in China. If it's not dead, reverse onto it and then drive forward until you know it's dead. There is probably a massive medical bill in the mail for you.

[WHEYsted]

Shit my uncle ran over a seagull few years ago and it made a popping sound. We went outside to check and it was splattered all over the wheel well. lol

[elkayem]

ilovetofu, you live near UBC?
So do I. Hahaaha, I see why we hit raccoons now.
It's the area!

[skyxx]

Or anywhere in north van... even my own area near UBC has tons of em, i'm gonna move to richmond or something they seem to have less

Since the RAV line is built. They're gonna take the RAV and hunt you down....

[koukimonst3r]

just had a carwash today and I almost hit a racoon again -_-
there seems to be alot of racoons in burnaby mountain LOL

LOL

lol my dad ran over a wolf in his porsche on the highway heading down to portland, there were chunks of fur underneath the car XD
Oh it was already roadkill btw.
