:icon18: ANYWAYS HOWS BAMBI?

Deer are a constant part of my life too. I've hit two but never quite so hard. Pay deductible or out of pocket if it isn't too much more. (I doubt but hope for you.)

Good luck, this stinks, move on, and in awhile, it will be a memory.

Hello 'Ryan West'

Oh Deer!!

just got a photo update from nation wide. car will be done in 3 days. guess it wasnt that bad after all.

Good thing is, i needed the front bumber and hood resprayed anyways. :)

I hit a deer in Wisconsin @ 70+ mph, $4,800 damage and that was at 1985 prices, got my car back, 2 weeks later, almost same spot. (within 200') hit another at 70+, $4,800.00 damage, insurance company dropped me. same exact damage, drivers side, 1 buck was a 10 pointer, antlers broke the windshield, could not open doors. second was a 6 pointer, exact same thing. I hate deer, to me they are rodents that have killed thousands of people. I am not an animal lover, I am old and believe man has rights, thats why GOD put us at the top of the food chain.

They better not raise my rate. Ill be calling tomorrow to ask about this. Ive only had two accidents that wernt even my fault. However i do have some tickets mostly in 08 and some recently that are going to fall off.

dang! sorry for that happened to ur ride, glad ur safe!

But did the deer die?!

Sad to see a Z look like that. :(

AMEN to that! I hate deer almost as much as raccoons-:shakes head:

If you have to pay the $500 deductible, then 1) maybe get a body kit, CF hood etc, even sell it and buy a stock bumper/hood for cheap.....

I feel your pain...hit a deer in my Z Roadster last Thursday night coming home from the gym after work. :shakes head: Not one of my better nights either. I was following my Brother in his Eclipse at the time, probably five car lengths behind @ 45-50 MPH. Deer ran out just behind him, in front of me. He saw it in the rear-view and came back to help, and a good samaritan who was in traffic behind stopped and moved what was left of the deer out of the road. (Couldn't say the same for the EIGHT police cars that drove right by me stranded in the center lane and never even slowed down to offer ANY assistance during the 45 minutes I sat and waited for the tow truck...but that's a whole 'nother story. :rolleyes:)

Anyways...mine hit on the right-front corner. Basically, headlight hit right between front and back legs of the deer as it tried to cut across the nose. The deer kinda flipped up and over the passenger side, and managed to miss the rest of the side/roof of the car somehow. So far the estimate is hovering in the $4200 range. New nose, right quarter, lots of plastic liners, right headlight, washer reservoir, and radiator support (cracked, but apparently no damage to radiator itself). Hood had a few dents, too, but deemed repairable.

As for insurance. State Farm covering under comprehensive, so I'm out the $250 deductable. Mixed feeling with them at the moment. They have agreed to the cost of replacing the clear bra which I figured I'd be screwed on, but then pi$$ed me off that they aren't providing a rental car, so that is out-of-pocket. Apparently you have to add that to the policy separately, which I never knew. (Lesson to everyone else...you might want to see if your policy covers rentals before you need one, or if you have to add that to the policy separately like with State Farm.)
