Someone else hit one a few months ago. And I think someone else a few weeks before that.

if it hit the passanger side its most likely that it is your windshield wiper fluid container is leaking, about 2 years ago i hit one of those little F'ers and on top of it destroing my bumper it broke the pump right off of the bottom of the wiper fluid container and the plastic side of the radiator clean off, and i was only going about 45. cost over $2000 to fix it, $250 deductable for the win.

I hit an opossum a few years ago, in my wife's car. No damage, but I musta ruptured its musk gland, or something, because it smelled almost as bad as a skunk...the car did, for awhile, even after I hit it with a high pressure spray cleaner!

 

[CobraStar_LS8]

WHAT????LOL, The fox still lived???LOL...That's f*cking trippy

Not long ago I was driving down a country road at night and narrowly missed a raccoon in the road. The little bugger just sat there in the road staring at me, so I swerved to avoid damaging the LS's bodywork. If the conditions hadn't been clear and dry, or if there had been oncoming traffic, it would have been a late raccoon, with no second thoughts at all--vermin are eminently expendable.

FWIW, at least around here, insurance claims for collisions with deer don't result in the normal jacked insurance rates and surcharges. I don't know if the same is true of vermin strikes; hopefully, it is...
