Oh deer!!!
Sad to say after the Michigan Monte Carlo Meet a deer ran out in front of Monte! Nothing i could do, was just cruising about 40-45 and next thing i know a doe runs out from field and bam!
Actually sounded bad as it looked,got a little whip lash in neck.Knocked the POOP out of her!lol that's whats on driver side headlights, was on windshield also. No engine or radiator damage and no leaks thank god. Thats why I'm leary of rainy days in Sept on due to deer on the move. But still had good time at the meet,food was good and met a few new members and saw their nice montes in person. Here's pic of damage, she's done for the year! Taking it to body shop mon for estimate and call ins company,then having motor taken out and inspected and few upgrades (pistons,heads,etc)

JAKE! That sucks!!! I'm sorry to see this, at least you're not any worse then you are (whip lash sucks regardless). Hopefully you have no problems getting her fixed up again.

Jake sorry man. On the bright side looks like the damage can be fix by yourself. Deers can cause a LOT of damage to a car for sure.
Was good to see you yesterday .
