Well, I hit a doe tonight...

[Frosty]

It was my next youngest brother and I in the car and we are both ok. I was driving him to work (the same place that I work 1st shift, him and my dad both work 3rd there). Anyways, on the way out there at about ten minutes to 11 I hit what I believe to be a doe in the SE. It popped out from a partial residential area in Kohler across from where I have seen many deer before. It gutted out my drivers side headlight, but as far as I can see in the dark tonight, that is the only damage. Hopefully it didn't damage my SVT grill, cuz that's the only grill I have right now. My dad will do a further inspection tomorrow while I am at work (I get to take my parents van to work tomorrow...yay ) It was a pretty bloody scene and of course it didn't die right away . I don't have any pics of the damage and I don't think I will have time to get amanda's camera while she is at work because I plan on swapping out one of the SVT's headlights right away so I can drive at night again. That brings up some more fun I had tonight after the Kohler cop shot the doe and came by to inspect the damage and file a report. My mom came out because she was concerned and because my headlight was destroyed, so I could follow her home. We're less than a mile away from my house and of course we drive by a Sheboygan cop, so he whips a U-banger and comes flying up to us and pulls me over. I explained the whole story to him and after confirming with Kohler PD, I was cleared to head home. What a night! I'm just glad that my brother and I are ok. It's the first time I ever hit a deer and I was pretty shook up at first, but all is well.

Sorry to hear bro, Just glad you and your brother are alright.

eek, glad your ok - cars and parts can certainly be replaced but not people.

BTW -- did you keep the deer? mmmm... venison sausage is the best!

well i am glad you are ok...but speaking from my experience. ( i just hit 2-3 doe myself..oops) and if you want an OEM svt grille, they are on national back order according to my body shop. I still have to check bill jenkins

we still have some at here at RockAuto as well...

infact you might as well just get the regular one (I think I paid 12.00 for mine brand new) especially if you are going to paint the oval or change the mesh later..

I have been rockin the SE version ever since I saw it on M!key's car...

Well, as far as the grill is concerned, if I wind up getting a new grill, it will be an SVT grill because I like it (plus it was originally intended to be on the SVT) and then I might as well buy a spare while I'm at it. We'll see about that. I haven't had a chance to look yet, but will be swapping out headlights so I can drive it tonight and checking for further damage.

As far as the deer is concerned, I did not keep it. I like venison, but I can't tolerate the blood and stuff (yeah, I'm a wuss ) so it was still there this morning on my way to work.

Wish i would have gotten your message sooner....I would have butchered it up for you...

I would have kicked in some cash to get the meat processed as well
