on my way to the gym i see a deer running across i stopped it passes by then another one thinking it was over i start going again then all of a sudden another one jumps in front and it was too late to press on the brakes
anyone know how much its gonna cost? by the looks of it?
its my first major accident and dont really know much any help?

...hmmm
id say...2000?

draxcaliber

if it is just a new hood and front bumper and paint, i'd guess $1000 or so.

kapo

no blood?

b_wet

$1k for new hood and bumper painted
$1k for RS2.0 grill (LOL)

good luck trying to get a new grill. they are going to give you a good jerking around.

b_wet

you can see fur on top of his plate.

Ty_Max

you came out rather good for a freaking DEER I must say though ive heard of them destroying a car.

draxcaliber

did you finish it off and get it ready for cookin?

Ty_Max

^Possibly turn it into a cute display when you walk into your house maybe?

Dan17y

I was more concerned about the car then the deer
glad there was no blood but there was alot of fur

i live down some backroads in maryland where deer and other wildlife are a road hazzard, but i have a sure fire solution, intake, exhaust, and loud music. they hear me coming and stay the hell away.

seriously, when i put a huge sound system in my explorer and i drove around with it bumpin and the windows down, i never saw anything.

with my trd intake and exhaust and some good loud music, i never see animals in it either.

my bro's gf hit 2 deer in a month with her vw jetta driving slow and quietely at night with her 3-4 year old asleep in the back. so i really think that some good tunes and aggressive exhaust keeps gives animals a great advance notice to stay the f@#% off the road.

agreed. i always honk when i see them grazing on the side of the road, and they turn and run away.

draxcaliber

oh yeah, actually, when encountering wild life on the road, the safest thing to do is honk the horn, and come to a controlled stop. no swerving because you don't know which direction the deer is going to run, and you might just confuse it and still hit it.

zm_br

yah, if the deer i see are within close range of the road, then i come to a complete stop. most of them are on the hillside, though, and i keep my eyes on them as i continue to honk.

i've always been very alert, especially when driving during "wildlife hours". but, a few years ago, a momma deer broadsided me when i was going 55mph. she came out of no where, and smashed up the entire driver's side of my 84 celica supra. snapped her neck, and i had to drag her off the road with the help of another motorist. i was still able to drive the car for a few more months and ended up selling/trading it to another supra owner who fixed it up and dropped in a 7m-gte. i wonder how that car is now...

exige

1k grille, 800-1k bumper, 700-800 hood.

Shouldnt the comprehensive part of your insurance help you?

ACass05tC

actually your car looks better than some others i've seen. a few came into my dealership with the windshield smashed and some others were totaled.

I had a minor fender bender in my Saturn SL and I thought maybe 1500 or so and it ended up being about 3500 because of a little radiator support damage, cracked headlight and so on. Look at this as a good opportunity to get the CF hood. GL though, autobody repair can take a while and be costly.

so what happend to the deer? did it at least die or was he like OMFG im airborn.
