I blinked, so the deer won this round...
Actually was avoiding herd of deer on my way home last Fri ~10:30 pm. 5 deer jumped into path from left; swerved onto shoulder on the right. One lone deer decided to jump into my path, so "bumped" him/her and proceeded over the side of the roadway. Put my DE skills to use... Turned steering wheel, then hit brakes like I was supposed to right?! Shoulder of road lead to a 6' drop-off that sloped down to an open field, but slid on wet grass into the end of a hedge-row that had downed trees. Skewered the front end of my car. Should buff right out!
2 hours for PD to show up.... "shift change" then another hour for report and tow truck. Not the most upscale area; No street lights, so kind of eerie sitting in the dark. Two of 20+ cars stopped to see if I needed help. Didn't have my pistol in the car. Now understand the conceal and carry idea. Pistol will return to lock-box in trunk.
Deer were running back and forth in front of my car while PD was doing his write-up. I think the deer I hit was showing his buddies the damage he'd done to my car... When is deer season?
That's about it.... life goes on. "Forced to drive my wife's convertible in our near perfect weather.
My Question to you; Looks like damage is to all the coolant parts: Radiator, tranny cooler, inter-coolers, front bumper and the headlights. What "upgrades" options are out there? I would like clear corners, do the Euro headlights fit our cars seemlessly? Any downside?
Most important to me, I'm not injured. Keep Smiling, IMG_0508.JPG
