| GT Level Member  |  Deer Comitted Suicide, Chose my Car. (updated fixed pics, new hood) Late Saturday Night I was driving on the highway and just got to the other side of a bridge and a deer ran out in front of me. I think I ripped its head off. You can see in the pictures it messed the car up pretty good. It's head hit the hood where you see the dent and the fender acted as a dagger and ripped it apart, the rest of the body hit the side of the fender and the hooves hit the door. You can see the blood on the car, I was going 71mph. It was a pretty bloody scene on the highway.      I've hit a few deer before, but with an old F-150 pickup that had a steel bumper. Never thought it'd do this much damage. I opened the hood and saw that the diagonal brace above the airbox is bent, so damage is more extensive... Last edited by FoSHO99; 06-10-2008 at 10:32 PM. |

| GT Level Member | Re: Deer Comitted Suicide, Chose my Car. Links fixed... sry(never thought i'd be one of those guys,lol) The car is not totalled... I'm driving the SHO while we put an F1 hood on and shave the doors and trunk lock... Estimate was over $4,000 but I wasn't there to make sure that they saw that it also bent the diagonal brace so if that moved, I want all new body parts for that... $500 deductable is going to get it done right. |

| GT Level Member | Re: Deer Comitted Suicide, Chose my Car. Full Coverage. It still doesn't make me happy. I was focusing on performance mods for this summer and then this happens and then I find a sweet deal on a F1 hood and then why not shave it... yep I'm going to be working long weekends on the farm to cover my tuition and books this fall... |

| GT Level Member | Re: Deer Comitted Suicide, Chose my Car. The last I saw of the deer was when I seen its head hit my hood and then it spiraling over my front windshield, apart from the rest of its body... I figured I wasn't going to eat it or I'd see that image go through my head every time I took a bite... lol Should be picking up the hood tommorrow, hopefully its not damaged with these tornadoes all around us, hell, my luck it will end up in my yard through the tornado air mail. |
