smacked a deer, (pics are added) Ok so I'm going to work a 10:00 PM just past the state trooper barracks, I glance to the right like I always do turn my head back and its all over, nice big 6 point buck standing right in the middle of the road. 
Never even had a chance to lift off the gas hit him doin 65 mph. So I pull into the police station just to get off the highway, and have the car towed. I can't believe that a deer can do $7500.00 in damage and the bags didn't go off.
So now its time to start the body work and I'm thinking of changing the color to SOM can anybody give me the color code and an idea of how much this paint is.
I will post pic's tonight.
Sorry about some of the photos I don't think my camera liked the fog that morning

its not a direct front impact that sets off air bags, its actully the act of sudden deceleration upon an impact like when you hit a car it brings you to a stop faster than you could ever stop just by hitting the brakess and like when he hit the deer it didnt bring hit to an sudden stop he probably just slammed on the brakes which wont set the bags off.

I hit one last Friday in my SS. Looked up and it was running across the road, slammed on the brakes, and just clipped its back leg. Cracked my bumper a little by the foglight and broke the turn signal. I am glad I didn't hit square on. I am sorry for your loss man. Hopefully the car will come back better than ever.

I think I'm going to buy the slp H.O. hood can't really find a good deal on a new stock one and haven't found too many aftermarket ones. still not sure on the color though I really like the SOM or the NBM, but who knows maybe I will get something different I thought about two tone even.
Did I mention that this sucks!!!!!
