RE: Brother Hit Deer
jesus, deer are no good.
i hope he didn't hit it very hard, cuz sadly, when you hit a deer, chances are its totaled.
we have a few body guys here... i'm sure if you took some real closeup shots and explained what each picture was, they could help you determine where/what you need to get...
but in the end, we are not there to see it in person. you might miss something that a body guy would know to look for, and it could end up being something very structurally important.
i suggest, at the very least, tow it to a body shop and have them give you an estimate, and go over what they need to do with you.

RE: Brother Hit Deer
A deer isn't something you want to meet on the road. Like mattdel said, the car is most likely totalled. My dad was driving in an explorer and the car in front of him hit a deer. Well, the deer flew through the air and blew right throughhis windshield. The deer hit with so much impact that there were no parts of it left in the car, it was just spray all the way to the back window. The explorers roof was blown half off also. I know its a little bit different than actually hitting it, but i had to share this story.
