well, at about 1:30am last night, I nuked a deer outside the quiet hamlet of Crown Point NY on lovely NY Route 9N/22... oh yes, friends and neighbors did it ever fuck my car up. The parts list so far (just from what I could see):

bumper scuffed
hood dented
passenger side fender destroyed
passenger front door destroyed
passenger rear door destroyed
quarter panel destroyed
passenger mirror gone
smashed the passenger side of the windshield

the body guy and I estimated about $7-7500 worth of damage.
yay me.

Thankfully it didn't come thru the windshield..... Sorry about the damage.

this has not been my week

Damn, man, sorry to hear about this on top of the other shit you have going on! Hang in there.

That sucks... Think they will total it?

it's less than a year old. no, they won't total it.

Yeah, but depreciation..... Just saying

buddy of mine had a minor bump in his ranger, only damage after inspection was the bumper and airbags, insurance totalled it because it was 8 years old. truck was pristine

That absolutely sucks. Sorry to hear. I had a very bad spell with deer back when I first joined this site. 3 in one year.

Cars can be replaced. People can't. I'm glad you're OK. You are OK, right?

as promised, pics of my striken Cruze:

At least it didn't get your spoiler

ouch.

Remember when my step-dad hit the deer with the Hyundai? He lost the radiator and nearly the whole front end, there was like a puddle of coolant and oil beneath the fucking thing on Route 9 near Bigelow's cornfields. You got off easy Sam. We replaced damn near everything but the engine block after that. I'm surprised the airbags didn't go off.

To top it all off, the fucking thing had to go back to the dealer for repairs or the warranty was void.

That really sucks, insurance will probably fix it but the car will never be the same, This has been quite the crappy few weeks for yuou -i hope things turn out okay for you.

the car is cursed. i think i am going to trade it for a Camaro in the spring.

I think the new MulletMobile rocks. Plus limited slip rear in the snow will keep things interesting.....

Again, glad you're ok..

I don't think it's cursed. I think it's just a run of bad luck...which I think is infecting all of us.

I usually am due for an October surprise...which I already got. Usually somebody very close to me gets sick or dies this time of the year, or a car gets wrecked, or some bullshit thing that no one can fathom actually happening, happens.

For example, my stepdad having a serious heart attack and nearly dying, the hyundai was wrecked also in October, my mother got ill and had to be hospitalized two years ago, my grandmother passing away five years ago, my father passing away on the 3rd of November...it just goes on an on.

If you want, blame me for the past two weeks.

Just a warning...the October surprise goes into the first week of November...so watch out for another two and a half weeks.
