Default #$%^#!!!! @#$^$^@!!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that i managed to hit a DEAD deer the other night in the six... i only drive the car twice a month to avoid this kind of disaster!!!

Some Jed Clampet hillbilly in his big ole' 4-by-Ford smacked the beast and spun the carcass into my lane.

Ended up destroying my front bumper, breaking my radiator support, snapping the AUX radiator bracket, bending the snot out of my fender, and ripping off a molded side skirt..

i guess things could have been a lot worse.. It was time for a change anyway..

I’m going to be starting a few other posts getting peoples opinions about possible paint colors and asking for some technical assistance so be on the lookout! Any help or input is extremely appreciated

I ran one over a few weeks ago, and, because the ass in front of me decided to stop after he went over it, I parked on top of it for a minute.

Nothing busted though, thank goodness for stock Mk4 4x4 suspension.

Any pics from your damage?

Hey guys, big thanks for the thoughts! It’s great to hear some reassurance and positive thoughts!

I do hove some pictures of the damage but most of them are too dark to see, these are the only two I still have on my phone.. The bumper looks like its in a lot better shape in this picture than it really is, the fiberglass is cracked like a spider web over the whole side.. If anyone is interested though $25 bucks!!

Glad you and your car are okay! Back when mine was stock I managed to straddle one without damage as well, luckily i was on the highway though so I didn’t have to stop, gotta love that guts on engine smell!!
