Hit a deer....
So on the way to work Monday night I decide to hit a deer in the bonneville. .... and I might b the luckiest man alive. Only damage I got was a busted headlight. For going 50th that is a blessing. I'll post pic soon. Got the headlight for 125 and cleared the corner.plus side was it was my hazed one. Bad news is it being brand new makes the other one look bad

That was lucky to only suffer minor damage. Deer can cause carnage. A friend of mine's car got totalled when he hit a deer.

Re: Hit a deer....
yeah deer = bad even the small ones can cause damage. I remember I had a small one hit the side of an old 88 sunbird I had. It was a decent looking car but had body work recently done on the side it hit. My wife screamed OMG the deer is it ok.......I said screw the deer he hit my car !! Im still a little sore about it and I dont even have the car anymore. lol
The old headlight you can buff out to make it look as good as the new one if it bothers you. I know small stuff like that bothers me.
But I have to say being hit by a deer is bad but it still didn't make me as mad as when a lady looking to see if her friend was home over shot a turn and ran head on into my 1989 Thunderbird. Saw her coming over and everything so I pulled the car into the grass that how much she overshot the turn. It was such a sweet t-bird too. I still hate that woman for that and she hit me with a contour of all cars. It's almost as bad as being hit by a neon.
Anyways sorry for the loss of the headlight

Re: Hit a deer....
You got very lucky with that one. Glad to see the only damage was the headlight. I hit one last year going 70 in my SE, it was totaled but I was in auto body at the time so I fixed it myself. They paid me right highest amount they could give me and I was able to keep it from totaling out.
Be lucky yours didn't look like mine hahaha

Be lucky yours didn't look like mine hahaha
