So firstly, I was driving and there was a crash on the other side of the divided highway, people were looking and not watching the road so while i was going about 3mph a buick taps into my ***. Pull over and see that theres no damage and just a little paint transfer, so we both get back on our way. Kinda pissed at the time but still good.

Then i'm driving back to central Wisconsin (was in Minneapolis for the weekend) it's about 6pm so pretty dark, passing an 18 wheeler when i see a deer lying in the middle of my lane about 15ft in front of me, hit the brakes as much as i can but i cant merge cuz of the truck and i assume that hitting the shoulder doing 65 wont be a good idea. So i run it over, and it sucked. Pull over after so see that my front bumper and lip are cracked, most of the splashguard is ripped off or cracked, and it ripped a couple of my neon tubes off. Deer blood and hair all they way down the undercarriage of my car...
Now i get home and am seriously pissed, I mean if I do something stupid to my car thats my fault it's fine, but these couple things just really get to me, got the car less than 6 months ago, only 19k miles.


So also a question, aswell as my rant.

My rear bumper has a small gap between it and my taillights/trunk door, but the mounts look fine, do you think the mount just got bent a bit? Im going to take the bumper off tomorrow and try to fix it.

 

sorry bro... deer suck. If you have comprehensive insurance it should be covered as this was an "act of God" type accident. g/l

 

damn man that sucks.. goodluck with it, hope insurance gets some of it--

 

See thats the thing, I already pay $900 for insurance and don't really want that rate to go up, so if it's just cosmetic damage (which i hope it is) i'll just buy a body kit and leave insurance out of it.

 

Yeah something like that happned to me recently. I was driving on the highway just cruising along then im in the middle of cars that I cant merge over for since a big rig tire shard was comming at me on the road. Had no other choice but to just pray the damge done wont be too bad. Pulled over on the next off ramp to see that half my lip is gone and my rear bumper has a gap between the right tailight. Seems like bolts came off the mounts and are just a lil bent but i used a zip tie just to make sure my bumper doesnt come off -lol-

 

Did the Deer have insurance?

J/K

Im sorry to hear your bad luck. At least you didn't crash. I hit a deer when I lived n Wisconsin (many years ago).

 

900$... lucky i'm on 1 accident, and with MA insurance bull**** i'm paying 3900$...

Good luck with the repairs, i know someone on here is selling a RA lip kit...

 

Yeah i didnt check if the deer had insurance, but he was dead...

My dealer quoted me $2,300 worth of repair damage... I'm going to try to fix it myself.

Anyone have a ralliart service manual you can scan a page of the front end from?
