That's precisely what happened dude. The head hit the front, then the body swung around and smashed the fender.

I got it quoted yesterday. That lovely deer did about 5k worth of damage.

After 9 years of driving with insurance that i never had to use until now, they are covering it all. With only a $50 deductible. And i apparently have renters insurance too, so i they cover up to 28 days for me to have a rental car.

So for now everyone, i get to drive around a nice 2008 Eclipse. lol. for about 18 days until my guilty pleasure get done in the shop.

 

LOL @ all the comments, and that deer in the bushes had me cracking up too, im not sure why.

 

You are correct my friend. I still did continue my journey to the bar (a buddy picked me up the whole thing only happened down the street from my house), and i even did a few shots in remembrance of Bambi that i just killed.

 

Bambi? is that you?

glad your alright, time for some ups.

 

that sucks, i can't tell because of the pics, did it get the door too?

 

yeah it got the door a little but, but the whole door is getting replaced anyway.

 

That sucks. I hope you get your car back as good as new.

 

Years back, I was putting around in my monte carlo ss and a deer hopped in front of me... I was doing 70. Hood, windshield, front and rear passenger fender, mirror, front and rear bumpers destroyed. 10 point buck... got up and walked away. WTF!
Deer suck, man. I'm glad you're OK

 

ouch, time for upgrades i guess. Must of been on a back roads somewhere huh

 

Deer jerky or deer sausage FTW!

 

Sorry to hear about your Z man... but you gotta admit - some of the things folks have to say about it are kinda funny...

 

About a year ago, I pulled up to stop sign in a dark area in the hills by my house.
Suddenly, all I see in the dim lighting are some skinny legs dangling over my hood, right in front of my f'ing windshield.
Totally freaked me out, like some big crazy looking monster was reaching out to pull me out of the car.

Apparently, bambi's got mad hops cuz the deer jumped straight over my hood, clearing it from one side to the other..

 

Poor Z, sucks for the deer though. RIP

 

I hit a deer too about 2 months back... i honked the horn and the deer stopped. Il never honk my horn at anything again...

 

The grill startled him.

 

Well ... if I were a deer, that's the way I'd want to die...

 

It probably bounced and hit it again like what happened in travis pastranas rally. Its posted on youtube too hehe...

 

ill post some pics of the car when it gets done so we can all see if it looks the way a Z should look

 

Gotta love the wildlife!

 

Hey I noticed that too...HA
