Deer vs. Car
Got hit last night... by a suicidal deer. @%#$ thing T-boned me right in the passenger side. Took out my right front fender, mirror, front passenger door, and rear passenger door. Stopped to assess the damage and it was gone. Pretty sure it was uninsured. Good thing (I'm always looking for the silver lining in all situations) is that it didn't do any mechanical damage to the car, I was totally unscathed, and I was in my company car, not my vette. Have to see what the estimate is, I'm guessing $7K-$8K.
Just another day in paradise!

...I thought the writer to be a person pretending to be a Corvette owner who knew absolutely nothing about what a Corvette is. Kinda like the person on another thread today advertising a V6 Corvette for sale on Autotrader... 
Glad it wasn't your Corvette that the deer got friendly with...

You'd think that stoooopid deer would have at least had the decency to stand around and exchange insurance information and file a police report. Failing that - commit suicide right on the spot so that you'd at least have venison steaks and chops for your trouble! Venison - the other red meat!

Sucks, but at least it wasn't your Vette and you weren't hurt.

I got hit by a deer in my Mitsubishi 3000 about 6 or 7 years ago. I was being chased by dogs, and jumped into my front right corner and wiped down the whole side. The deer was killed, and I was lucky it didn't come through the windshield.
Repair was $4500, and they did a lousy job. And it was a 'custom' paint and body shop.
