what size is the p5's muffler? (stock)
I was just driving home and I came around a bend in the road at around 50-55 mph, (55 was the posted speed limit) and there was a big buck right in the middle of the road. It was around 2am and the road it was on I drive on every day, it was about 100 yards from the entrance to my neighborhood. I slammed on the brakes which left marks and turned to the right and only hit him with my driver's side mirror. It busted the mirror completely and took the cover off. I drove back and picked the cover off of the road and it has a small crack and a couple scuffs but is intact. I guess I should file for insurance? I think it's considered an 'act of God' so it doesn't affect payments.
Cliff Notes:
Drove home at night, hit deer right outside neighborhood, broken driver's side mirror, no body damage. (that I could see using my cellphone as a light)
...and there was a big buck right in the middle of the road.
Good reflexes...
Unless your deductible is ZERO, I would fix it on your own...
I think i'm gonna fix it on my own. The mirror cover is intact, just need to find a new mirror piece on the internet and pop the red cover back on. I'm very lucky I didn't do more damage, only thing I noticed was a small, less than 1 in. scuff on the rocker panel that may or may not have been from the deer and some white stuff on the window, either from the glass breaking off and hitting it or the deer's antlers.
I should blame the fact that I didn't see it in time was because I don't have HID's yet and go ahead and order them.
