the front of the engine bay and the radiator are bent up against the supercharger. i have no clue what it takes for them to write it off. the deer pretty much never hit the ground, jumped off a hill and i hit it and it went flying atleast ten feet in the air and did a few flips.... was kind of entertaining while it lasted. i drove the car home after it happened.

its not a write off. the crush bar is probobly slightly bent, they can fix that pretty easily. Cobalt SS's hold their value and you would have had to do like 10grand in damage for them to write it off, new hood bumper, brackets, and bending and **** probobly arent going to get you that close. i get scared im gonna hit deer since i moved to NC, **** is creepy driving at night with no street lights and woods on both sides. glad your alright man, could have easily swerved to avoid and caused alot more damage

we drove down the road and looked on the side of the road for it but that thing launched off my car. it was too cold to walk in the woods and look for it. if it didnt die i would be amazed but my dad keeps telling me deer are tougher than i think.

oh man thats a bummer. looks like quite a bit of damage. chances are if the rad support is pushed in that much the rad is effed, heat exchanger, condenser, supercharger(maybe). here in canada theyd prob write er off, but idk how it works in the lovely us of a.
regardless, your ok, and that stupid deer shoulda looked both ways

i know where im gonna be tonight
Our cars are too sexy-the deer seek them out when horny,lol. Sucks though.
I had a set of those "deer whistles" on one of my old trucks, not sure if they work or not or even if they still sell them?

i cried a little inside... :/ i got a deer with my G6 GT last year... it was a small deer and it died... and i didn't feel bad for it at all... in fact if it weren't for the old people who claimed they had been baiting it onto their front lawn by the road to watch it i never would have hit anything. I would have kicked it so hard if they had not have come out to see it die either. lol needless to say i wasn't impressed with the old ****** but not much i could do.. they were old and decrepid... probably the last thing in life that brought them happiness until it met my grill lol
