Deer + Speed6 = Bad night. Now pictures!!!

Well, I hit a deer tonight in my Speed6. It is bad. the entire front drivers side corner of my bumper, headlight, and fender are F'ed totally. I will get some pics tomorrow. The bumper just kinda exploded into pieces. Its crazy. I was going about 55 exactly, but it jumped out dead into my car. I had no time to even swirve or touch the brakes. Well, just had to tell someone.:'(

someone should invent SACD(spontaneous animal car destruction) insurance... I live in VA so I know how much damage and stupid those things are.. and how much it hurts to pay out of pocket.

Well, you could look on the bright side. There is always the chance that upgraded/aftermarket parts might be cheeper than fixing oem stuff. New hood, FMIC, coilovers, wheels, ect....

Good luck
 
its never that easy. sure the parts might be cheaper but the frame/ car is never just the same after that.

sorry to hear man.

Ouch man, sorry to hear. Make sure you sue that deer and have him pay for all the damages!
 
That sucks. You should make an insurance claim for your collision coverage claiming that the deer was an uninsured motorist.

Did I really just say that? All those years in law school and I guess all it did was teach me to think like an idiot.
 
Deers = Suckiness!

Glad you're not hurt.

Shame about the speed 6.

Yeah living in VA., I have to dodge deers like its my job. P5 handling comes in handy on some backroads here. Stick and move baby, stick and move!
 
I feel your pain. Deer ran into the side of my baby last fall and bounced along
the entire driver side, making sure every panel and fender was damaged.

I hate deer; it seems like they are everywhere. It wouldn't be so bad but they are just so ******* stupid, and big enough to cause all kinds of havoc.
 
Sorry to hear about the damages man! On top of all that your car actually looks really nice, only for this to happen. All the best.
 
Sorry to hear about the damage. Hope everything goes well with it.

By the way, are those BBS RGRs? If so, what size and what tires did you wrap them in? I really like the look and was thinking about getting them, but they're expensive as hell.
