Just made road kill

man, I need to move back to the city. I'm driving down a country road at 50 mph in the dark a few minutes ago and all of a sudden my car feels like I ran over a dead body on one side of the car. It felt just like hitting a squishy speed bump at 50 mph. It definitely felt jarring to the car but much less mild than a bad pot hole at speed.

I turned around to double back to see what I hit and sure enough it was a pretty large raccoon. It's body was way too tall to fit under my car.

Visual insoection shows no body damage and the car still drives normal. Should I be concerned?

You should have bought the night vision package
Glad the car has nothing and let's hope you did not kill a mother of three babies...

I have distronic...

Man... Pretty distressing when you've had the car 2 weeks. I keep telling myself that if the car gets scratched up its just an excuse to wrap it in a funky color.

I didn't realize you guys were all in PETA.

Had the car washed. Not a scratch and alignment is still great.
