Hit a deer, sad day
 
4 Attachment(s)
:sad::sad:This morning a deer jutted out in front of me while i was going about 45mph, I had no time to slow down and hit it at least going 35mph. My fender took the brunt of it, but it rolled over my car and onto my roof. Waiting to hear back from the insurance as to whether or not it will be totaled.Attachment 229655

a horse would have really done a number on your 8:yelrotflm

insurance will be coming out tomorrow to look at it. there is damage on so many body panels that i think they may end up totaling it :(

200.mph 10-15-2012 02:15 PM

gl man. are you gonna get another 8 if they total it?

SamPappas 10-15-2012 02:18 PM

i really haven't decided, depending on how much they give me, i will either get an 8 or a 350z. leaning more towards an 8, but i wanna find one that isn't entirely stock, and there's like none in my area

monchie 10-15-2012 02:23 PM

Damn! That sucks! Anyway, glad your okay and the damage will just buff out. Any pictures of the deer? ...just kiddin' :cwm27:

G_ man 10-15-2012 02:25 PM

Deer probably got up and ran off also

Mr_Pieper 10-15-2012 02:26 PM

Trade you stock wheels for mine with bald tires?

Harrigan 10-15-2012 07:19 PM

Sorry to hear bro! Lets hope everything works out in your favor! And no stock 8's around you? damn come to Ontario bro haha its endless!

adamwzl 10-15-2012 09:13 PM

damn man sorry to hear. Hopefully they can fix it and it wont be too much. If they decide to total it and you want to get another 8 just take off what ever parts you installed and transfer. Also take off your aero flares for the next 8 :).

SamPappas 10-15-2012 10:18 PM

The insurance company will be looking at the car tomorrow sometime, I'm not sure when, I will post the results of their visits as soon as possible.

EricB 10-15-2012 11:51 PM

ouch, that fender looks like it moved in, and theres damage everywhere.

Coming home at 4-6am after doing all nighters ive seen deer 3 times this week on the highway i take to go home.

LifeAfterRx8 10-16-2012 01:02 AM

Man that sucks...

Looking at those pictures make me cringe... even your roof has a dent on it.

R80MAV 10-16-2012 01:51 AM

ahh thats bad news man. hope you get it all sorted

Slidin8 10-16-2012 02:00 AM

your girlfriend must be gutted

SamPappas 10-16-2012 09:02 AM

Anyone like to make guesses on whether or not it is totaled?

200.mph 10-16-2012 09:04 AM

idk hard to tell from pics. yes?

Kaiser bun 10-16-2012 09:09 AM

I'm going to guess no, but i've seen less damaged cars be totaled so who knows :dunno:

slvrstreak 10-16-2012 09:13 AM

I would say yes

SamPappas 10-16-2012 09:14 AM

I don't know yet. but judging by the damage to the roof, and damage to the quarter panel above the rear suicide door, along with everything else, my guess is that they will total it.

adamwzl 10-16-2012 09:17 AM

well hopefully you say in the 8 family if they do. Dont go get a 350z.. Unless you want that STS turbo kit :suspect:

Mr_Pieper 10-16-2012 09:48 AM

They will total it Sam. The roof damage will cost too much and our cars aren't worth a fortune.

Hit me with a PM if you want help removing all of the aftermarket stuff. My fee is a Frisco Melt and a Cookies N Cream shake.

Cornbred 10-16-2012 10:20 AM

totaled ....They total everything now, it makes more sence for them to take your money, let you wreck give you some money back, take your car, sell it at auction and mitigate the loss from the sale of your wreck... i dont know if people have realized this yet, but insurance is a for profit deal.
