Tears!
A deer jumped out in front of me last night and completely bombed the front end of my Scoob. Thankfully, insurance covers the repairs, but I don't think it'll ever be the same...
Share the love guys. *sniff*

I have hit 2 deer since I have lived here in Mississippi. But I get my revenge during hunting season.

Lucky for you it was just a deer, Up here we have Elk and Moose. When they land on your car you usually don't walk away.

Sorry to hear about that. One of the worse feelings is getting your car damaged. But hey, at least you didn't drive through a house and two fences.

Good Luck.
Glad you weren't hurt, how's the deer?
I have seen two deer go through two Impreza's, one was an STi - the hoods are so low that the deer went through the windshield of both cars - both cars were totalled by insurance but they were both cleaned up and sold again by the buyers. |

Thanks for the support, guys. The deer got pretty well whooped by the collision. Judging by the smell, his bowels burst from the impact. Uck. I'm not eating that deer.
Yeah, so, the insurance guy comes on Tuesday to assess the damage. I intend to take lots of pictures before he comes in case they decide to...short me. You know, so I can wave them around and say "how's this not broken?" While I doubt it'll happen, this is my baby we're toying with here. Nobody jerks my baby around. |

I just got up the nerve to pop the hood and take a look...it's not looking promising. The port timing cover is bent meaning that there's a chance that one of the camshafts got bashed...I'm not looking forward to rebuilding my heads. Man, it's effed up...
Here's some pictures of what the antler-rat did. I'm glad that little mother-effer's dead. |

I didn't realize Subaru's were involved in accidents when not drifting.
Glad to see that the damage isn't too bad, Al. |

If I were in Rochester, (and if the damage is great enough, I'll get it flatbedded back there for free) I'd take it to Vesa's Automotive on University next to the Mobil Station between Blossom and Culver. They do good work and I know the owner. I worked at that gas station for six years and talked many times with him and practically all the techs. |
