It's a little old, but posting pics of accident last year in Vibe.

Post by bishc21 »

So, last year right after Christmas, the family and I were heading home from dinner.. BAM!!! Nice fat deer taking out the RHS of the car. Lovely. Car did great though!! No major upset inside the cabin. We were all safe and sound. ****ty way to find out. The worst damage was under the hood. Had to replace almost all the RHS (front) exterior, radiator, ac lines, washer fluid res., hood, fan. Total of $5100 in damage.

ouch, It still surprises me how much it costs to fix modern cars, looking at the pics I wouldn't guess $5100 to fix. I suppose they are safer for having crumple zones, but it costs to un-crumple a zone. Glad to hear that all were safe
