Well (pause) I'll just say, dont come to NJ. It's the same crap here. We need to import some cougars or something here; these things need some natural predators to keep their numbers in check. (Damn stray pitbulls only attack people around here....j/k)

How much will it cost to fix and will insurance cover it? Also, did you cook some venison (sp?) for dinner that night?

Consider yourself lucky. I hit a deer doing about 50 and the damage was much more substantial. Total was $7k and the car was not driveavle due to the entire radiator assembly being demolished.

There sketchers there my lazy shoes. No I didn't get no vennison I got out of my car to look at the damage and the deer got up all twitchy and took off. Yeah I consider myself lucky it could of been worse. I am going to get my estimate tommorrow. The 2k2 is completely shattered and the only thing right now holding it in is the fender pin and clear tape. Unfourtantly at this time I only have liability on the car so it's all coming out of pocket. Gee this happens just as I just was going to switch to full coverage.

Oh man sorry to hear this... You have such a beautiful car too.

It will all be fixed in due time. Yeah I am very lucky that it happened that way. This makes 2 years in a row on that side. First time I slide into a curb doing about 35mph wheel was facing the curb hit the curb pushed wheel to back part of fender and bent lower A-arm, wheel bearing, and strut. that was $1,000.00 worth of damage. Now this deer killed the fender.

1BADMAX

Holy crap. Your car looked almost identical to mine. I hit the deer going almost the same speed and the total damage was right at $11,000. Mine should be out of the shop today....hooray.

Y2K2Driver

Besides the obvious, what else is damaged here? Mine looked almost identical to that and it was only $7k. In my case, I needed: hood, bumper, grill, valve cover, radiator, air conditioning heat exchanger, radiator support hardware, engine cover, both front headlights, some minor fender repair, and, of course, paint.

MyownNismo

iTrader: (13)

Man did I luck out. To fix my car....Drum Roll Please......$513.30. Not including headlight which I am awaiting price.

i have the invoice back at school but the major stuff i can remember is, both air bags, both headlights, hood, bumper i think, both fenders, radiator, air box, engine cover, seat belts and mechanisms, AC condenser, basically everything in the front 1/3 of the egine bay, and paint. the invoice is about 3 or 4 full pages of replacement parts. total was $11,985 i believe. i feel like you got a better deal in gerneal than i did. but also i have the infamous Northern VA inflated prices going against me.

New airbags and everything that Nissan requires to be replaced if the airbags deployed came to right around $2760. Also the headers have part of the radiator fans melted on them, so the body shop has decided to replace them, which has added another $1100 dollars to the overall price. I'm gong to replace the Stillen headers with Hotshot's when they come out so they have to pay for the headers and the installation since they won't be out for another 2 weeks or so.

That sucks. I hope Maxi will recover soon!

That must have been a small Deer. Your windshield seems to be unbroken. 70 mph is pretty fast to hit an animal.

Newman

iTrader: (3)

it was a typical-sized deer as far as i could tell. not a baby but not a huge buck. the windshield obviously isnt broken because the deer didnt hit the windshield.

RichSpidizzy

Dude, that sux... and you practically just got that JMS grille too I feel for you

News a couple of nights ago, a lady was killed when the deer came through the windshield.

Between this and lyme disease, I say increase hunting season to 365 days per year.

1BADMAX

Kill all the deer.

I am with you there I think I will go and take some classes and go hunting to defend my car.

consider urselves lucky guys.. freakin deer are evil!! they try to get hit on purpose.. just like those 2 squirrels on that auto insurance commercial.
on my trip to utah all i did was look out for deer on the roads because i know wat kind of damage they can do.

last time i went to traffic school the driving educator was telling us about deer insurance. i'd suggest it if i lived in an area with many deer. he also told us how his uncle survived vietnam but died in a car accident when he hit a deer.. a very sad way to go...

Nismo, ever thought of calling in the upgrade in ins now, wait a week then call in the accident

Zero Deuce SE

I'm just saying that you're lucky the Deer did not come through your windshield as they sometimes do. You probably caused the Deer to go airborne to clear your car instead of just flipping it into the air in front of your car. Glad that you came out in good health.

Newman

iTrader: (3)

oh okay. well thanks. i actually think i carried the deer on my hood until i came to a stop because there was a dead deer about 15 feet in front of my car when i got out. it could have been someone else's though.
