Dont try to go hunting with your car, damn deer got away

Well i was doing a trip drive cycle on my lunch break and on the way back to work a deer ran out in front of me. i think i hit him about 10-20 mph didnt rly care about the speed as a dear was rolling over my hood and hitting the windshield. once i came to a stop the deer rolled 20 foot or so ahead of me and ran back off into the woods.

amazingly minimal damage

have a good reason to get projectors now

headlight and fender

pushed fender back a little hard to tell from the pic

headlight housing

headlights still work though lol

ZZP Make amazing rotors i was driving at 45 mph when that deer ran out, i had that brake pedal to the floor and it didnt even warp the rotors not even a little, got a little hot though

Damage could have been a lot worse, but the fender shifting back is a concern that there is hidden damage.


I saw a deer explode once. Didn't hurt my Peterbilt in the least.

Lol!


I've hit 3 in my last car(sunfire). None in the cobalt. And 1 in a rental cruze. It was raining and the deer slide right off the rental car's hood, didn't even dent the cruze. I was like lolwtf.

OP was worried about rotors warping? What? They ain't made of glass.

My dad has a huge cow bumper on his International . He takes deers out without blinking an eye . His old Peterbilt had a similar bumper.
