I was going about 55 MPH on a country road tonight, when BLAMO! I hit a deer that came from nowhere.

Looks like I will need a new grill, right side headlight, hood and bumper.

The good news... Now I have a great reason to add the M Tech kit.

I will try to get some pictures of the progress.

Well, my body shop estimated the damage at $4,500! Good thing I have insurance.

Pictures to come soon!

I hit one last year, he ran along side the verge for a bit so i had the chance to see him 1-2 second before he ran out into the road, which enabled me to brake from about 50 to 29mph. I punched the thing about 100 yards down the road roliing it over, but he just got up and ran off. I only got a very small dent on the fender. Guess I was lucky.
