so last night i clipped a dear
 
:s-chainsaw: i was so pissed it only broke my headlight cup blinker lens and my hood is pushed down ever so slightly i think my fender is bent down and out a little bit i hit him doin like 35 cause i slowed down from 65 then right before impact i mashed the accelerator and went right so he only hit on my driver side if i would have found him when i stopped :s-chainsaw: :fenforcer: :fenforcer: :fenforcer: :fenforcer: :s-chainsaw:

Thats sucks man.

The deer are thick around here. I never drive around in rural areas after 6 pm or so, this seems to be when they all come out.

Ouch, that sucks. Glad to hear your fine and the damage isn't too bad. There are never deer in my area (So Cal) but I've heard stories of them doing some damage.

here are some of the pictures i found out today i actually killed the dear even though my car sustained such little damage(enough to piss me off) i went out to look at it and someone had stolen the rack off it lol i was hoping to do that as a b day gift to myself

SportBikeMike 08-22-2009 09:25 PM

Damage don't look too bad!

chase 08-22-2009 11:44 PM

Wow, not bad at all. Definitely looks like you got lucky.

Sucks about the rack, someone must've swooped quick! Would've made a great conversation piece and personal memento from the incident.

jessezx 08-23-2009 09:00 AM

no its really not that much the headlight bracket just broke the plastic clips i need to get some more the fender sits a little out of shape hard to see its so small and my hood actually sits a hair lower on the left side and i have clearence issues if you look at the gaps under the headlight buckets

Niku-Sama 08-24-2009 09:34 PM

acually it looks like the bumper is pushed in and slightly down, it would explain why it makes everything look so far off

SpeciallySpiked 08-24-2009 10:24 PM

Agreed about the bumper and I think I have another driver side headlight bucket lying around here if you want it. It's silver...

jessezx 08-26-2009 08:19 PM

ya i would be very interested in the bucket the color really doesnt matter i wanted to repaint the car like a week before this happened how much for it and shipping? and do you have the metal bracket for the headlight as well mine is bent and broke

SpeciallySpiked 08-27-2009 04:56 PM

Found it! I'll post some pictures up here once my camera finishes downloading all the photos from this weekend (3,000!!!).

How about you just pay the shipping from 80304? I got hooked up with some carpet from someone on here a while ago so I've got to return the Zdriver favor. I'm gonna have to find a box... I'm sure there's something around here

I'm not sure what metal bracket you're talking about. I think mine just bolted to the fender

jessezx 08-29-2009 09:26 AM

it was the one that wraps around the headlight itself not the bucket lol pm me your address so i can send you the money order for shippin and thx!!! so much you rock:icon_super:

I remember when i hit a deer last year. My wife was in the car, so natrauly i verd for the deer to hit the driver side. it hit hard, but thankfully went under the car. under both back tires. and had the kindness to clean my gas tank for me. all in all. my 83 2+2 only took a broken blinker lens cover. thank god for bumper shocks.

SHADY280 09-06-2009 11:29 AM

he means the headlight mount itself, thats why his headlight is pushed back.

Probably similiar in Illinois, I was cruising out in the country in the 350 the other day and there was a deer just standing there in the oncoming lane. I coulda reached out and touched him.....he was that close. Luckily, he just froze there and didn't move towards me.

jessezx 10-15-2009 02:17 PM
