Default just in time for VIR, guess the repair bill...

<img src="http://knockoutmouse.net/john/deer/DSCF0367.jpg">

heading home from band rehearsal last night, a deer decided to play frogger on rt 28 north in manassas right near the library.

first time in almost 20 years of driving that i've hit a deer. i'm still a bit miffed at my reaction time. i saw her coming out of my left eye's peripheral view and hit the brakes, i guess not hard enough. right-front meets deer's right-rear. no blood, so hopefully it wasn't a fatal blow. yes, that's fur stuck between the fender and the lens.

could have been much worse, i suppose.

to claim or not?
MSRP:
low beam bulb - $220
Headlamp assy Right $428
Control module Back $431
bang out the fender ?
headlight washer $25
etc etc...

i'm thinking of uninstalling the borked parts and taping it for VIR mon and tues. or talking the wife into taking her GTI

Default I can't tell from the pic, but a PDR specialist may be able to straighten out the edge of the fender

Did the paint chip or crack? I've seen some crazy results from PDR that I wouldn't have thought possible.

Default Claim it. It doesn't count as collission. It goes against your comprehensive coverage

meaning no increase in rates and no at-fault accidents listed on your record. It's just like claiming a windshield.

You're talking TrackDaze VIR I assume? Because you can definitely have that done before ACNA VIR.

compared to the left side, the gap between the hood and the fender looks slightly greater.
