Venison Express

Clobbered a deer on the way home last night. A group (Mrs Neo says three) decided to break across the two lane highway just as we were coming down a hill. Hit the third one in line.

Looks like a new front end, a new right quarter and there's a little passenger side door impingement. Hoping the fluid leak is simply washer fluid, but don't want to open the hood in case it's also sprung. The dash panel was also lit up like Christmas.

Fortunately neither of us were hurt. The Dashcam that Neophyte gave us for Christmas caught it all. Gotta go talk to my insurance people.

UPDATE: Insurance adjuster in...

Says he's done dozens of deer collisions recently. May get away with new front plastic & lights, new passenger side quarter & body work to door. Missed the rad.

Good news, given what could've been.
