Driving home last night in the dark on the highway. Raccoon decides to cross the road at that instant. No time to swerve or avoid it. Did some not so pretty damage. And punctured my a/c condenser. Heard a hissing when I came out to inspect the car in the morning.

Ah dang man, that’s some bad luck. Sorry for you (and the raccoon). On the bright side, it’s cool and you’re not using the AC yet.

Not too much damage though, may be better off repairing yourself rather than taking the hit on your insurance.

Yeah. It would cost me less than my deductible to fix. Already ordered the condenser from fcp. Im licensed and able to work with Freon. And I may just touch up the bumper myself.

I would just check the placard under the hood, that will be the definitive answer.
