Hit a deer, sad day

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.Name:  deer1.jpg

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

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 .

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.

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.

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.
