I have been trying to decide on whether to get another car or just run mine into the ground. also, on whether to buy used or new if I did decide on getting something else.
after some consideration, I decided to save my money and keep running my car.
this past friday, a deer ran into me (yea, it charged the car). I was riding and it hit me in the front fender, smacked it's head against the windshield and rolled down the side of my car.
at first, the door wouldn't open. once I got the door open, I could asses the damage.
fender dented badly
door dented right on the handle
rear panel dented (unibody so that sucks)
shattered the outside mirror
broke the housing
cracked the windshield
and the impact knocked off my rear view mirror (inside)
I hope to fix it for around $200 depending on how much the windshield will cost me. at first, I thought I was going to be car shopping this weenend. luckily, none of it is really functional (mechanically speaking)
I meant to take before pics of it but needed to get it driveable. below are some pics after I fixed it (relatively speaking)
I have the mirror on order and plan to call a guy on monday about the windshield. the fender may come later as it is cheap from the pull-a-part.
(my picture quality is usually better but this was my phone camera)
