Z28 X 110 lb Deer= One Big Mess

**amysboxers** · 04-20-2011, 09:03 AM

Things were going good with the car so far, until yesterday morning.
If the picture doesn't attached, can someone please help me out.

The car has been taking to the body shop and we wait to see what the damage will be. The car only has 74000 miles on it, so keeping my fingers crossed the insurance adjuster will be nice.

Windshield, passenger mirror and passenger front fender? Or did it do more damage than that?

Luckily it missed the front end. The deer jumped in the side of the car. My 13 year old son was on the side the deer hit. His arm was cut and his nerves were rattled. Thank God for insurance!!

I hope so...Now we wait to hear back from the insurance company. Anyone want to guess on the amount of the estimate?

Thanks for sending me this. It got me to look to see how much the parts are going to be. How much do you charge for shipping? My zip is 28112

Oh I know the deer could of been way BIGGER! and the car could of been going way FASTER!
I think the car did great with the impact. Notice the t-tops in place and the side window did not break.

Im just glad you didnt get hurt.

It could have been worse and yes your car did pretty well. My father and I hit a deer in the late 80s with his 82 Firebird and it hit the fender in front of the passenger side wheel and the deer rolled right up over the car....lol

I'll work on getting a price. I have a friend at a body shop. So I should be able to get a box from him. Shipping will be what ever it cost me.

That much for a windshield!! Ok, time to go google a windshield to how much that costs. Only the fender got hit. All the damages are in the picture.
The guy at the body shop is thinking 3500.00-4000.00.
