Doe! A deer, A female deer - Toyota Yaris Forums

ilikerice · 05-03-2013, 09:13 AM

Yep.. thats right. On the way to work this morning, a deer decided it had enough and decided suicide was the only way out. He picked my car of course.

More details to come and pictures. If it gets totalled, I have all my OEM parts so i will be swapping everything back to OEM before they take it away. weather I get another yaris or not is still in the air...

So pissed right now.

Shitty! Glad you are okay!

47_MasoN_47 · 05-03-2013, 12:19 PM

That sucks man.

Apparently we didn't kill enough of those little douchebags this year. I've seen a crapton of them on the roads around here lately.

mr_miles · 05-03-2013, 02:46 PM

Crap. Deer really have it out for Yarii this year. Get a 2013! lol

ilikerice · 05-03-2013, 02:48 PM

Some pictures of the damage.

From what I can see, passenger side headlamp assembly has broken tabs,

The front support is bent along with whatever it bolted to it.

Pass fender is kinked.

busted windshield

Busted Bumper

pulls slightly to the left now.

But not horribly. just noticeable.

Engine still runs. No leaking anything.

ilikerice · 05-03-2013, 02:59 PM

Soo.. If Garm is reading this... I may be in the market for an aftermarket front bumper and support bracket now.. I wont know anything til I talk with the insurance guy and see what he quotes.

47_MasoN_47 · 05-03-2013, 03:16 PM

If they want to total it I'd definitely see about buying the car back and fixing it anyway. Even on a salvage title that car is in too good of condition to throw away.

B2FiNiTY · 05-03-2013, 03:19 PM

ouch, if you get it back, time to go with aftermarket mods ;)

ilikerice · 05-03-2013, 03:21 PM

Thanks. Airbag didn't deploy so I think it will be saved. we will see when adjuster gets here. waiting for a call back to schedule an appointment.

nookandcrannycar · 05-03-2013, 04:20 PM

So sorry this happened to you. JOOC, what is the fate of the badge/emblem that was in the center/on the 'nose' of your Yaris?

Somewhere on the side of the road. If I find it, you can have it. lol

Yea, I think I am more pissed of at the fact I just bought new tires for autocross this weekend. Now I wont be able to run it. I haven't done autocross in 2 months and its eating me alive. Gotta wait til weds to get an estimate and see if they will cut me a check or I will have someone else fix it. If the price is right I may just do it myself.

CTScott · 05-03-2013, 04:22 PM

That doesn't look bad at all. Crashy2 was far worse than that and I only spent about $1000 to get her back on the road.

MattS. · 05-03-2013, 06:54 PM

That sucks! You should have at least got to eat some of the little sucker for what it did to your car.

yougojay · 05-03-2013, 07:27 PM

Glad you are OK, better to fix the car than having to fix you. Please keep us posted on the progress with your Yaris

ilikerice · 05-08-2013, 12:52 PM

Finally talked to the adjuster. He quoted me $2,595 as of right now. May cost more after they tear it down and check more stuff. I got a $500 deductable.

I could get a MicroImage vented hood $150 and an aftermarket from bumper off ebay which is about $300 shipped. I do understand most of those will require work to fit correctly. Need new Headlights anyways so i could go with new 06-08 headlights.

I would have to talk to the guys who are doing the work. Not sure if I want to get them to just cut me a check or let professionals do it...
