G-35 - 1 Deer - 0 *pix*



Well It happened. Crested a hill on the way to work and tagged a deer. Luckily it didn't do much damage. Need a new bumper, grille, marker light, Injen filter, wheel, front alignment, and HID unit. All came to just over $2500. Thank god for zero deductible. Sucks though cause the marker lights are on back order so I have to use the stock amber ones *gag*. One less deer in NW Indiana :-(

Re: G-35 - 1 Deer - 0 *pix*

Not to laugh, but it reminds me of the scene from GoodFellas where Joe Pesci needs to borrow the knife from his mothers house. She comes down and is like...what r u doing with that? He's like, we hit a deer and need to cut his foot....hoof from the grill....
Anyway, that sux, but as long as you're aight and the G lives on, no worries!

LOL yeah ! Could have been worse, but because I slowed to miss its friend I didnt hit this one that fast. Wheel only had a small small scratch and they replaced the whole thing. Just the wheel was $850!!!!!

When the bumper moved it broke the two tabs off the bottom light fixture. So, its just hanging by the one top bolt.

Re: G-35 - 1 Deer - 0 *pix*

I feel your pain.

2 weeks ago, I had a medium-sized 'critter' running directly toward me in the road and hit my car. It must have been rabid to be running AT me. I couldn't get out of the way, and THUD, my bumper was smacked up. I couldn't find the animal, so I don't know if it was dead or not. It was night, and I didn't want to have a run-in with a rabid opossum, armadillo or raccoon.

I got the estimate back, and it luckily was only damage to the front bumper cover. So, 506$ should take care of things unless they find out more was damaged. This was also 0$ Deductible Comprehensive from State Farm.

I still feel rotten about the animal, though .

Re: G-35 - 1 Deer - 0 *pix*

I have a couple more pics right where I hit it. I'll post a couple more tomorrow. First time hitting a deer for me. Wasn't fun..sort of scarry really. I almost bought the Greddy front bumper, but glad I didn't now. That would have really sucked!
