Getting it towed to a body shop . Hit a deer over the weekend, looks like it is the front bumper, lip, passenger side light, hood, and maybe some other stuff.

Sorry, deer hits suck. It is one of my worst fears when out for drive. Where I live they are everywhere. They casually stroll across the streets like they are immortal. Zero sense of self preservation.

Very true, but thankfully not as prevalent, at least not in my part of the world.

@2fcknfst Garage pics so we can see all the cars together?

Surely the owner of this car was wearing white New Balance shoes, so they were able to run away from falling tree and escape injury

We get plenty of those, we lose power here from trees taking down lines on almost a monthly basis. And unfortunately, the falling trees do also hit cars and sometimes kill people.
