Crashed my car.

[CanadianTalonTC]

First, I'd like to thank my Eagle Talon for not letting me die haha. I was driving easbound highway 3 near Fernie about 1km from my buddies house I was headed to and a deer ran across the road and hit my front left fender and put its face through my window.

I locked up the brakes and braced myself against the steering and shifter and ended up being perfectly fine, tons of people stopped to help and I got taken by ambulance to hospital though. Paramedics were really cool.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the car yet, I don't have covereage only PLPD so that sucks haha.

glad your ok man. Sucks that you crashed it. Looks repairable tho.

did the deer survive the crash?

 

[CanadianTalonTC]

That deer felt the wrath of an Eagle hahaha. Dead as a doornail.

Yeah, looks like it ought to be repairable. I've had buddies local that were in the same boat, no full coverage and had way worse damage than that and managed to keep their cars on the road. Hell one trashed his entire front end, now 3 years later it's transformed into a 475-600whp race car!! haha

Glad you're okay. Deer ####ing suck in general!

Kind of crappy pics so i cant tell, but looks like a hood, fender and windshield and she's good to go. If that's all it is definitely don't scrap it over just that.

Glad your ok.

Getting towed to the shop tomorow and I'll probably start removing the fender/bumper, worst case maybe I'll AWD swap a spyder. Better pics tomorrow.

Don't part it out. 2gb talons are sexy!

Did you atleast brought the deer home and then cook/eat it? Lol

I'm impressed how the deer shredded the sheet metal like that.

Looks like busted bondo.

There was no bondo at all, the deer took the paint clean off.

So when my fender got crushed down it bent my rad support down squishing my headlight and the rail slightly that runs across the left side of the fender where it bolts too.

So whatever that part is plus mirror, windshield, fender, inner fender well, maybe a bumper, headlight, clean out the interior etc. Not sure if it's going to be worth it. What do I do about the rad support? Can I just bend that back up?
