been driving these roads for 15 years, never hit an animal larger than a bird in my life.....and now this.....i felt like my child died.

editing for clarification, i dont visit the board very often, this happened a bit ago as you can see in the timestamp, the car is already fixed. very happy with State Farm and the shop.

Incredible damage

Looks like you hit a Mack truck.

So what was the bill for that damage? If it was a Tesla I would guess $15K ;-)

first insurance claim of my life, $500 from me and another $8500 from from insurance....apparently the headlight was $1800 itself....hit the deer at 80mph

couldnt help but notice "celltech" obviously your in the wireless industry? I build cell sites myself, towers and equipment.

Man I'd say you're lucky to still be here after hitting a 150 pound object at 80 MPH.

Think you are the first person to notice the name, and yes, I am in the wireless business. I started off as a cell site tech and now a MTSO/switch engineer. I maintain the legacy Nortel switches for a giant telecom provider.

I hit one when driving back from SEMA last year.... sucks. Did over 8k of damage.

glad you are okay and they car has been repaired to your satisfaction.

I also feel your pain. I posted pictures of mine several months ago, it looked pretty much like yours, only on the passenger side.
