BRZ vs TWO DEER

[geb2391]

We should have gone to the meet up instead of Jackson, Wy to watch the grand daughter play soccer. Without going into every detail of how and why I thought I would tell you about the first real road trip in the BRZ. On our way home Saturday afternoon to Pocatello from Jackson Wyoming on US 89 in Wyoming we hit TWO deer. This completely unavoidable accident could have been a lot worse had we been in a different vehicle. I hit both deer head on decelerating from around 56 mph and swerving in an attempt to avoid the deer that were spooked into my path by another vehicle in the opposing lane. One deer went up and over the roof the other down the driver’s side. The front air bags deployed and the BRZ sustained nose and hood damage from one deer and we lost the drivers mirror and dented the driver’s door and rear fender because of the second deer. There is little doubt had we been in some other style or make of car my wife and I would have had at least one deer in our laps. As you can see in the pic’s the BRZ faired pretty well for what happened, now the wait for repair parts begin, probably won’t see the BRZ till late December or early January if we’re lucky. Be careful out there!

The initial repair estimate came back at $10,500.00

Its all body and air bag stuff, no structural damage at all.
