On my way home from my parents house tonight, somewhere in Maryland (and 200 miles from home) I found that someone had set up a "deer slalom" in the middle of the interstate. I made it through, but I wound up +1 for my efforts. I almost missed it, I'm pretty sure it stayed in the box......

Sorry to hear that Kevin.

Yes, I managed to hit a deer with 3 things at once. Pretty good for one driver ain't it? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Bummer but glad you have good insurance. Here's hoping they do the body work well.

It happens I guess.

I'm not so mad about the car (that really didn't bother me too much, my wife was more mad than I was... it's not like it's a show winner or anything like that...), I'm mad that I didn't manage to avoid that deer like all the others. I saw it, I hit the brakes (which didn't do much on salt) and I gently swerved, but not much (snow tires are scary and even worse on salt) and just clipped it. If I'd done a bit more (if I could have) of either one, I'd have missed it. I didn't want to spin the car and risk a worse accident to save Bambi though, so the deer got it.

3 for one, that's pretty ugly..... I guess I don't feel so bad now Sam.

Body shop says it's getting a new bumper cover, new fender and a new light assembly (and I did miss the hood). They'll fix the marks on the door from the fender being pushed into it and re-clear what's needed. He'll call with an estimate (just because I'm curious).
