    I bumped a raccoon at 55 MPH and the repair was $3,156.14. I get 52 MPG, so I guess a 2014 Prius Two was worth it. I think an orange juice jug is more durable.

    Sell it and go get a pick up. Sounds like you want to.

    Maybe a moped? Honestly, a child's bicycle is tougher and more efficient!

    The medical bill for the 'Coon would have been more had he survived. You won.

    If you give any car even dirty looks, it will cost you $500...

    The raccoons around my area can beat up most retrievers, so I suspect one of them might kill my Prius if I hit one at 55. A friend of mine just hit his twelfth deer, and is on his third pickup. (y)

    Don't feed the troll. He'll be starting high school next year and it's a stressful period. That and all those hormones rushing around during puberty.
