I hit deer with a jet once. No ****. Gimme a sec, I'll post the pic.

now...the above is a little extreme but it's all in perspective
1. If your kids is in the road you're a bad parent for not watching the little bugger.
2. Animals don't have souls.

animals don't have souls I guess you know for a fact that humans do?

anyway...I'm not trying to start a HUGE e-fight here

Also, I'll make it a bit simple....when I hit your DOG or CAT I'll be sure to leave their head on the doorstep and proceed to tell you how dumb your animal truly is

as for bad parenting...I know plenty. Trust me there's about 40 little f*ckers on my street daily that I would love to see bounce off the hood of my car..lol j/k

I get your drift, you're world view is twisted. Animals and humans are no where near being of equal worth. I don't endorse animal cruelty but facts are facts. Animals don't have souls. There is no doggy heaven or doggy hell. And if someone happens to hit my dog, that I don't have, and I didn't have it on a leash then it's my dumb ass fault for not fencing it or leashing it.

Mmmm, Ok if you say so. Don't get me wrong I love animals and have a dog 6 cats 3 ferritts and a 70 gallon aqurium and I've driven off the road to avoid hiting a family of squirles and took out 3 mail boxes and a chunk of someone fence but my kids rate a tad higher then my pets. And even though it would kill me to do it I'd put a bullet in any one of my animals if they'd ever hurt my kids.

I'm not here to start a fight I just think that was a tad harsh. That said I'm gonna move on and drop this cause I don't want it to go any further down hill then it has.

haha that's good. I'll take any animal any day over the guy who kills and rapes my mother....but yep....humans are so good

didn't mean for this to get this out of hand and as for heaven, I don't believe in god, so preach to someone else chap and until you can PROVE to me that there is in fact a heaven, don't tell me what kind of heavens can or can't exist

happy preaching

you have your opinion and I have mine....let's keep it at that

Well any one who rapes and kills your mom IS an animal and deserves to be put down!

Now as for animals don't have souls, this is a Christian belief not held by all religions. Most Native Americans DO believe animals have souls, so do other religions such as Buddism.
Even Christians once believed animals had souls untill a vote by the Cardinals in something
like the 3rd century to decide if women or animals had souls and could get into heaven.
Women won by ONE vote! LOL!! So I place very little faith in how Christiandom rates things or what it says. I'm much more inclined to go allong with the Native Americans belief that they do in fact have souls and cross over the rainbow bridge when they die and into the afterlife.

Don't know about what heaven or hell looks like but I'd hate to imagine eternity with no pets around. I mean how could it be called heaven without the animals you loved being there with you?

I never quite looked at it from that aspect...very interesting and good point

Now, sorry to distort this poor guys thread, but back on topic

Sorry this had to happen to your 'balt and hopefully everything gets fixed good as new

Also, if there's one thing I learned from sleeping with my insurance agent is depending on how your insurance company is...always tell them that the deer hit you ...lol sounds crazy but it's the turth

I work at a body shop and that looks to be about $4500 in damage more if the coolers are hit

the adjuster told me it could be a lot more if the radiator needs to be replaced (i think it does)...

i'm just curious if a body shop will order me custom parts or they will only replace with OEM or whatever. Does anyone know how that works?

Damn that sucks. If it bent the radiator, it bent the condensor and IC heat exchanger and possibly broke the fan shroud and clips. Just my estimate after reading what resulted in other threads where the cars hit various small animals (and in one case a road cone) at 40+ mph.
