Default Deer 1 lexus 0

Well headed to work today at 6:45 am driving at about 60mph in complete darkness when the deer ran into the side of the car. Ripped off the passenger mirror, dented front rh door and back rh door, scratched front rh fender and left a small dent on rear quarter panel just got a quote from bodyshop and looking at 2500 or more for repair. But glad I'm alright the car can be replaced I can't.

doesnt look to bad in the pics but its alot worse looking in person.

That sucks. I almost hit a buck this morning in a loaner Lexus (mine is in for service).

Be careful out there!

Deer always win...

Glad you're ok.

I bet that deer is telling "Honey, you're never gonna believe this. I just ran into death head-on and walked away to tell you. Now get me some Aleve, this headache is killing me."

My wife is trying to help with the SC deer population with her Ruger 308. Guess she missed that one.

Sorry bro.
