Bad news

[striktlyaccord]

I hit a deer tonight doing almost full highway speed on route 146 south in Massachusetts up near Uxbridge/Millbury at around 8:50pm.  Thing came out of nowhere, and I was aware enough to quickly maneuver to the left partially into the high-speed lane to try and avoid it, but it slammed my front passenger side and totally destroyed my custom bumper, fogs, and retrofit.  Not sure if I killed it or not, but I feel bad either way.  I have full coverage insurance, but this just came at a horrible time in life.  The cop/AAA said that they had two deer collisions around the same time and the same spot last night.  Props to the AAA driver too because he was an avid car guy as well and took great care of my lowered car while putting it on the flatbed.  Off to the garage tomorrow to start over, but I don't know what to do anymore.

Pros:
-No injuries/I'm alive
-Maneuvered quickly enough to avoid a dead-on hit
-No airbags went off
-For now, there seems to be no engine or suspension damage (although a further inspection is needed)
-AAA is awesome

Cons:
-Custom front bumper, fogs, and RETROFITS are shot
-No reliable transportation
-I feel bad for the animal

Damage:

Shit man, it sucks to see stuff like this after what I've done to my car. I know how you feel, but it's a good thing you're okay.

That sucks man!  Hopefully insurance will take care of it, glad to hear your OK though.  A lotta dear/car fatalaties lately .  Some guy on another forum (maybe V6p... not sure) posted up some pics a month or so ago, had a TSX SC with a full Accord Euro R swap (interior and all) posted up these sexy ass pics with his buddys TL SC and then pics of an hour after the shoot when he hit a deer doin like 45... bastards (the deer).

ahhh I got your msg. As long as your okay its all good. Try saving the projector and the signal white piece. I can always make another retrofit for you, and don't feel bad shit happens but your still alive.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune man. Glad you're ok and it could've been worst....like colliding into a pole, another vehicle, or deer going straight through the car.

Damn Dave sorry to hear bro, glad your ok though... the ride can be fixed!

[striktlyaccord]

It's been a tough few days.

Whats the word on damage/repairs?

[sherker55]

Glad you are ok dude, could have been worse. 
here's my deer encounter...
In High school I hit a mule deer in my 1977 plymouth fury, out in colorado.  incase you don't know, mule deer are huge, definately bigger than white tails.  well we were coming out of the mountains but heading up hill, when we got to the top, a deep jumped out in front of us going about 45.  took his legs out, flipped up and landed on the hood.  we jumped out of the car, the deer jumped up and sprinted off!  not a scratch on the car, or should I say TANK!  big difference in parts, construction though...

Over $6,200 in estimated damage and repairs.  I still need to have a detailed discussion with the appraiser, but of course they're closed until Tuesday because of the damn holiday.

Thats not to bad but, expect that number to go up after they start working on it. Generally the estimator misses stuff and they find it during repair.
