    Went deer hunting by accident.









    It was about a 170lb doe. Preliminarily, it looks like hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, radiator, condenser, steering fluid cooler line, under tray, grills, core support, cooling fans, and some other bits. Couldn't get the hood open yet to see under. I did peek under the now creased hood, and it looks like no huge damage. The car was still running after the hit, with one of the cooling fans making a little noise.

    Bummer.

    Dang!!!! Glad u okay- Jeez- I often say- the drive home from the track (through deer country) late at night is the most scary part of the adventure.

    I wish you a speedy repair.

    Thanks guys. I guess that's why we pay big insurance premiums!

    alrightroad, in the 3rd pic you can see the headlight lens is busted up pretty good. Drivers side isn't, but felt very loose in its place. Makes me think the mounting tabs are all broke. I'll sell if you really want.

    Bummer, now starts the search for a good hood....went through 6 of them from Audi before we found a straight one. seems if they are stored on their sides the alu edges get bent up pretty good.

    Sorry about the wreck...

    Ooof. Sorry to see that.

    Glad you are ok and the car should survive, too.

    Enjoy the deer steaks, jerkey, etc. Saved you the cost of a hunting license, ammo, etc.

    haha. I didn't keep it. So this old guy pulls up in the dodge and says that he called the sheriffs department and that they said he can take it, if it was ok with me. I said I didn't want it. I don't want bruised up venison. But seriously, old guy shows up 15 mins after it happened. I hadn't even called the sheriffs yet! I think he probably needs it more than me.

    Damn! Glad to hear you and the kids are unscathed!... Think you'll have the stomach to cut into a brand new, shiny, virgin belly pan for the Sportec cooling mod? hehe

    Thanks Greg. I know! I've been thinking about that belly pan. Glad I'm getting a new one. Will be hard to chop up though. I won't need to make that mod til next spring, so it will stay as is for now.

    Glad everyone is safe. Airbags didn't deploy so that is good I guess.

    Nope. No airbags. The front bumper stayed remarkably intact. It's cracked and scratched a little, but really doesn't look as if it moved much if any.

    Ouch. Well at least it looks fixable. That hood looks like aluminum foil (go figure).
    I don't blame you for passing on the free roadkill!

    Bummer about the hunting accident but the bright side is that you get new stuff!
    Hopefully you DIDN'T order the carbon lip, otherwise that would have been toasted.

    Especially since the airbags didn't trip and the engine was still able to run, you should relatively in good shape.
