Ouch!

Between the hood, fender, lights, and broken inner structure.....Bambi got you for probably $2,000 in repairs.

That sucks, especially after you just put new rims on.

At least you weren't hurt, and its quite fixable.

I used to live in upstate PA and NY, there it isn't a matter of "if" you'll hit a deer, but "when" you'll clobber the next one.

Ouch. That's really does s##k. Like Mike said, looks costly for such a seemingly small amout of damage.

I hit a rabbit the other day. 50 mph, dead centered the critter. Hard hit. I was sure I had broke or cracked something on the SS front end. Couldn't find a mark anywhere. Counting my blessings this time.
