its been real guys...

its been real guys...-aaa.jpg


well looks like its the end of the road for my car guys! hit a deer driving down the highway the other day close to 80mph, front end completely tore off and im pretty sure its through the radiator because i saw smoke after i started up again.

insurance wouldnt pay because i have base insurance thanks to the little fire that started up in it a couple months ago. and im pretty sure at this point, it would cost more than the car to fix everything up. sucks cuz i just spent a night putting a new bumper on that thing..

im guessing a part-out would be the best thing knowing all thats in the car.
i dont know, i gotta get the car towed back up here today off the highway shoulder. just tow it up to my house so i can decide what to do i guess.

if anyone has any good advice to give me besides look out for deer, please feel free

I thought even base insurance covers damage from deer and other animals

i'm sorry i did chuckle when u said anyone have good advice besides look out for deer..but i feel ur pain..i'm asuming base insurance means liability?.... which only covers other peoples property.

from that picture it doesn't look bad.. but could b costly, i'd say have a professional take a look still..

yea its only liability.

but im def looking at.. that i know of.. new headlight, bumper, grille, hood, radiator, paint and primer, idk about panel on side.
i think its time to go on. i can only get liability on that car, which means if a pinecone falls on the car after i fix it up.. its coming out of my pocket to fix it

I'm sorry to hear about your accident.
I have a spare stock bumper I'm willing to part with for a good price. You'll just have to repaint it in yellow but it's in perfect condition. PM me if interested.

I would just repair it you can do it for less than 1400 easily by yourself and finding cheap parts to make it work. But I know the feeling with your car bro
