cobalt vs racoon
so my dad took my cobalt to michigan for the weekend, and was heading home tonight. i just got home from picking him up standing next to my cobalt with a busted radiator. i guess he was going about 70 when he hit a rather large coon. i've only had the car for three months and now it's in the shop.

Raccoon 2, Cobalt 0
I hit a raccoon on the 18th. Wasn't fun. I was only going about 45, but it was a BIG raccoon. Broke the radiator, something to do with the airconditioning, and something to do with the supercharger. I can't find the estimates that say the exact parts... It also broke the whole front piece by the license plate. $2,500 in damages. Not fun.
Here's a couple pics of mine.

^^ Be sure the dealership and/or body shop check it out good. My dealership missed stuff that the body shop found when they took the front end off to do their estimate.

Radiator, AC Condensor, and your Supercharger's Heat Exchanger. They are all stacked back to back right there. Which is why an important mod is to get a Cobra Heat exchanger and stick it in front of the radiator... therefore disposing of the stupid heat exchanger that is sandwiched in between the AC Condenser and the Radiator. It'll get more air and cool the air quite a bit better. 6 thumbs up for Random Cobalt Knowledge... Tune in next time; Same Balt Time, Same Balt Channel!
