Poor, innocent deer?
Poor: I was not aware that deer fit into any know socioeconomic groupings.
Innocent: maybe the deer killed and ate poor defenseless plants. Or ran a Liken smuggling ring form northern Canada.
And last time I checked the car was worth $27k and the deer was worth the $78 required to purchase the hunting permit.
Sorry about the car man.
Interesting side note: Road kill deer are often shred and cooked under pressure at places call rendering processing plants and feed back to other animals such as pig, chicken, or cattle in the form of protein feed stock.
As such having your pork tenderloin, you could be eating that deer by association.
Venison it’s what’s for dinner!

I hate deer. in jeresy they were being run outa thier "homes" and getting in the way of cars. OKay yeah it wasnt his fault that he got his by a $27K car but honestly people lets get real. Things die, its life.
Still Feeling bad about the deer? what about the cow you are sitting on. Honestly thats life, and honestly, i would have done the same thing, i would much rather save a persons life and take a deers than injure at the minimium two people (you and the other driver, assuming you both dont have passengers).
it sounds mean but it all comes down to what YOU can safely do.
quit bitching at him, he just did some damage to his car and you better beleive hes pissed. and you better beleive he got out and cussed at the deer.
my regards man, ull get her good as new soon.

The airbag should not have deployed in that accident though. Way too small an impact...

What the fuck, how can people bash him for not giving a fuck about the deer? His car is trashed, fuck the deer, they should stay in the forest where they belong.
What kind of a dumb ass deer runs into a car anyway? Didn't it's Mommy & Daddy teach it to look both ways before crossing the road???

Sorry about the car, be thankful you are ok (and the deer didn't jump) AND that the airbags no doubt worked as intended... as said well above, they are designed only to go off in very serious accidents, don't forget airbags themselves can cause burns, bruises and even broken bones... it's just that those injuries are less severe than the ones they are saving you from.
As far as the damage: I bet it looks worse than it is, prolly mostly body work. Comprehensive will cover it even though it was a collision, and it shouldn't go up. Even if it does, Comp is pretty cheap compared to Collision and BI, it makes up a small % of your premium.
My brother hit a deer at 70mph in his '92 Camry, similar damage (right in the middle of the hood), it was fixed in 3 days, no problems after that.
And ignore the deer lovers, I saw one was in Brooklyn... they just don't understand what it's like living in deer country... think big freaking rats that spread disease, kill people because they are stupid and like headlights and eat ANYTHING you try and grow. They have no natural predators left OTHER THAN ACURAS, so you should be thanking this poor guy for doing his part to thin the heard.
One last thing, make sure you get all the blood off the car ASAP, it's acidic and can ruin the paint.
Sorry, that was long.
Edit: DON'T CLICK THAT LINK ABOVE! That's nasty, but the picture of the fabreez when someone asked how to clean it up made me almost piss myself.

Acura TSX > stupid deer
Anyone who feels sorry for the idiot deer and not the poor guy whose ride just got f**** up is an asshole. Period. Those stupid bastards will run right into you like they work for Al Quaeda or something! I say kill 'em all.

I realize how lucky I was and will continue to work through it. Ordered a new bike while I was still hospitalized, so obviously it didn't affect me too much!

Yes, I was pissed at the deer even though it's really not her fault. Still, I put a lot of work and love into my car and to see it smashed in all because of that deer really sucked. If there was time to swerve I sure would have but I barely had time to press the brake in for a split second. No I don't really hate deer but I damn sure don't like the one that ran out in front of my car. It's gonna take two to three weeks and 7 grand in insurance to get my car back. Pics will be posted as soon as I get her back. You guys think I can talk the body shop into an aftermarked grille and carbon fiber hood???

Your condesnor wil need to be replaced (the air horns have pushed into it... if it doesn't leak, insurance will still give you the $ to replace it cuz it's damaged... just take that $ and put it to more mods). Also, the front frame where the hood latches will have to be bent out.
Start looking for stock headlights now and get them second hand. You'll get a pair for $300-350 and you'll get $640 from insurance. Good luck and let me know if you need any help as I'm pretty much done finding my products for our TSX that i smashed.

Cool. PM with with some direction. How do I go about convincing them or where did you get your stuff from? Do I just tell them I'll get the parts? Any help is appreciated and I'll give em a call first thing monday morning.

They are now, in effect, giant rats with antlers. Bambi kills about 130 Americans every year.

hmm, Im just wondering about going from 70mph to zero while going up a fence, Airbags did not go off, and 21 in Az, got rear ended almost went through the windsheild... At this point I am honestly Extremly worried about the Airbag System in the TSX

Hey bud belive me, i would be upset about the deer too... Trust me I know first hand about Animals being hit by a car, do a breef search on this forum, maybe 2 weeks ago my dog who i love more then the stupid car, was hit by the mailman, he died in the back seat of my car on the way to the animal hospital... Its rough... However in a situation like this, Its better that the animal got hurt then he did... I hate to sound like that, but if your going 50, a girl runs out into the road, and u cant stop in time but if you swerve your gonna hit a cat.... you hit the damn cat... Really hurts to say that but thats defenutly the truth of the matter
#79
was just looking at that link to the other forum where the guy hit the deer and blood was all over the insides of the car... well can u imagine how the driver looked since all the blood shot thru the car like a firehydrant blew up in the car? haha
