I hit a deer yesterday morning about 5:30am on a two lane highway. The deer cracked my passenger headlight and right front fender. He ran any so I think the deer is OK. Too bad about my car. It is drivable but I have it parked until I can get a new headlight and front panel - Should be here on Friday. I am now trying to decide if I should replace the panel and light myself or let the dealer do it for a fee of $300.

Actually just last week my sister, her husband and two grand children (no smart for them) came to a dead stop when they spotted a buck heading toward them from a field. It changed it's course and attacked the side of thier car. Dumb deer.

Yep. Anarchist deer want to take back our country and the first thing they will do is destroy your import.

Be extra careful this time of year as the deer are in "rut" and the boys are chasing the girls without any regard to traffic.

Hello,

My misses was driving down 519 in NJ the other week and a small group zipped out of the woods straight in to the side of her Toyota......

Body shop still has it - +$7000 worth of damage from the headlight to the tailight..... urgh.... car is only 6 months old

Cheers

Body shop says the front left quarter panel is cracked and the taillight, as the deer kind of slid along the side of the car.

I will give a repair estimate when I get it.

I believe you.....no matter what they say.

Post some pics to your gallery to as a testament to how well the car did hold up. I bet that deer is really hurting by now. I have them all over my property and constantly have people asking to come on it and kill them. No can do
