Angry I hit a deer on the road with my 350z during spring break on my wy to South Padre Tx.

I was going 85mph to South Padre in Texas when the unthinkable occured, a deer jumps up from the bushes and stays right in the middle of the road. I was left with no choice but to hit the dumb *** deer. I was driving right next to an 18 wheeler and couldn't go any were. The 350z now needs front end parts to get it running again so if any one knows were to get any front parts for the car or if you think i should sell the car? If i keep the car I am looking for a radiator, headlights, front bumper any thing can help. So please anyone. help me get my car up and running again. Thanks

Was it at night? Deer are notorious on Texas roads (I-37) at night. Sorry for your misfortune.

Of course it will. It's an accident. No different than running into a tree, a wall or another car.



Assuming that the OP has insurance.

So in other words, you didn't have insurance? How did you miss one payment, was it like months ago or you didn't pay the last monthly bill when it was due?

You had to figure that, otherwise he wouldn't have been shopping for parts.
