Drat!!! I hit a Deer!!

We have a friend that runs a body shop and he's going to give us a grill and my husband says that the rest won't be too hard to fix. I'm curious what he's going to do about the dent that's on the front fender though! At least it shouldn't cost too much to fix!

Diana, I'm so glad neither of you were hurt!
My friend Londa totaled her car a few years ago when she hit a deer. Another friend came over a hill, swerved to miss a deer and hit another car head on; killing her and her unborn baby.

They cause a LOT of damage and misery. They're beautiful animals, but a menace on the hwys.

I'm glad you weren't hurt! I've always been terrified of hitting one. I haven't so far, but my husband used to hit at least 2 a year. Fortunately, it was always in the farm truck and he was never hurt. They're everywhere around here.

We have a lot of them around here also. Our friend in the car body business is giving us some parts to fix the Tahoe and then we'll only have to order a few parts. Whew!!!! I didn't do any motor damage. I must have slowed down pretty quickly (I was doing 70 mph). The damage was only to the grill and the lights so I think that I'm pretty blessed! Oh there was a good size dent in the front driver's fender, but it's going to have to stay there. The Tahoe had several dents in it when we got it and a few more won't hurt.
