suicide bambi! That's great!
When I got home from work yesterday morning, I took a lookie and nothing but cosmetic damage. Bent bumper brace, dented bumper obviously, shattered headlight panel mounting gizmo and of course, no headlight or turn signal or right side of grill. The only pieces I removed was a small piece of the mirror on the headlights and the bulbs from the turn signals. Frame looks fine. I called Action U pull it in Medford OR and they have grill, headlight, headlight panel for $185.00 and will check on bumper and braces after removing and a hammer doesn't do the trick.....
It'll be good as new by Tuesday I hope! I'm kinda handy with fixing stuff. And if weather is okay, finish dent on other fender from a Yukon vs Sonic sign.....Not my year with cars. I may buy a brush guard for the bambi's. Hopefully in the deer community they spread the word about the Gold Yukon on the road.....
But, have to say, the M26 wax made the deer glance off the side with no fender damage, only broken plastics which is easy to replace (removed once to fix grill from a pheasant going through).
The car drives straight, no leaks from radiator, everything works, and the gauges show normal. I didn't get hurt and didn't do more damage to the car, thankfully.
I did go back to see the crash scene, saw a pile of guts, no deer..... Someone got some road kill for jerkey (blech). Saw all the plastic from my right side grill.....
The worst part was I tried my headlight restorer from Meguiar's and just shined up that headlight clear as crystal (sans pock marks from 174,000+ miles).....
