Default Re: Got creamed by a Jeep last night

Safe, amazing car, hit a large doe, (well over 100#'s), with mine at about 60 mph. The deer got flipped around & died instantly, the crossfire had a few minor pieces going up over the winshield!., but never shuddered, I never felt anything in the steering wheel & it just kept on going up the road like nothing happened!!. Pulled over & got out to look it over, front edge of hood peeled down some, & the emblem hanging down on one end, hood shifted on its hinges about 1/2", front left headlite outer glass busted, 3 stress cracks in the clear on top of the front bumper facia, grill had a few supports betwen the louvers busted, thats it!. Now tho, this all amounted to $3500 at the body shop, as they replaced everything with new parts, NO aftermarket parts available for the Crossfire so headlite assmb, $440, hood, $770, grille, $400 something!!!!, hood hinges & other small parts, on & on, but the x-fire is as new again.
