Yesturday morning A small deer ran out in front of me while going to work. yes I hit it and believe it or not, a 2006 Charger will run OVER a deer. Sofar they are going to remove, clean and repaint the front bumper area. replace the chin spoiler, replace all the underneath panels, replace the fog light, and do an alignment. he wasn't sure if the head light needs to be replaced. said once its out they will take a good look at it. I couldn't believe the Body wasn't really hurt that bad and i'm driving it. until Monday when they take the car and I get a Rental. :-( probably be a Toyota.

OMG ! You say you ran over Bambi I'm glad your ok, It don't sound like there is to much damage. The last one I hit totaled my ride (folded the hood back to the windshield). Every morning I go to work I hold my breath. I hope your fix will be to your satisfaction. Take care Brother !!!

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope your repairs go well. Don't let them use non-Mopar parts. Glad to hear you are alright. You will be lucky if you get a Toyota, you might get a moped.(lol) Hang tough things will work out.

Toyota-moped whats the difference. J/k
It is a good shop. larger company thats been in W-S for ever. only 4 years old it shouldn't be too hard to match up the paint (knock on wood) most of whats being replaced is underneath the car though.

Sure hate to hear about that Will; however it sounds actually like you got very lucky. Tee hit a deer our here right close to the house about three years ago with our GEO Tracker and totaled it out. That's how we ended up buying the Scion XB.

We, too, hold our breath every time we leave the house. We see deer all the time out here in the boonies......

man i hate the thought of that. i had a deer run out in front of my tahoe in colorado, luckily i wasnt going fast and was able to stop. i am not a hunter by any means but if one of those little bastards hits one of my vehicles i will be come part of the population control. it sucks that you hit one but i am glad you are ok

The over population in the SouthEast is crazy. They are looking at expanding the hunting season.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck.
My wife had some minor nose damage...at 5 years old, the repair really spruced up the front end.
I am guessing it was a Doe??

Our deer here in Florida are so small, they barely crack your headlight if you hit one...

It was either a really young deer or a small doe. top of its head was probably about 6 inches higher than top of Chargers Grill.

Got the Car back today. $932.86 was the final cost to repair. Not too much damage. Driving a 2011 Camry (4cyl) made me miss my Hemi SOOOOOOO Badly. I think the Hemi actually gets better mailage. LOL

Congrats Will on getting your ride back!!! Hope she looks beautiful. You can turn in your Flintstone mobile and get back laying it down on the pavement. Glad things went your way.

Pictures the body of the car wasn't really hurt a few scratches on the head light and bumper cover. but all the body panels under the car were destroyed. it was I guess a fawn or small doe. The car actually ran over the deer. 2 guys behind me in a truck asked if they could have it. told them sure.

I must be getting soft I missed my Heated seats. LOL heck I missed the whole car.

I am taking the car back tomorrow. I saw in direct sun the paint on the nose piece matches perfect with the rest of the car but out of sunlight it is actually a different shade of yellow. already thought of what they will probably say. that its plastic and body is metal so its going to be different. But Rear bumper matches body perfectly. I had someone who didn't even know the car had work done ask me what happened to my car. where they saw the color difference.
