I'll just give a summary:
Driving on wet rural dirt road
deer ran out
Hit brakes, lost traction
Hit tree.
Damage:
Both airbags blew
bumper, lip spoiler, hood are done
floorboard pushed up a bit under the peddles
Tire seems to be relocated an inch back...probably related to the floorboard thing...any info on this?? How serious?
Upside:
Both quarter pannels survived as well as rims and all lighting fixtures.
I have full coverage
Aftermath:
Cops took a long time...2 hours or so. I sat in car and took a nap, some lady drove by and thought i was dead and started screaming.
Im fine...except for few big lacerations on my arm and looks like rugburn from the airbag.
I'll keep you posted. If its getting fixed...bodykit. If its gone, look for my name in the for sale forums cause i'll be parting it out. (I'll also be getting another 240 if this is the case.)

Alan... put up some pictures of the interior, exterior, and underneath... This will give people a better idea of the damage, cuz you did ask for a quote.
And if you don't wanna post them, email them to me, or I will break your knees.

nono...i was low priority. Cops had a very busy night. Some guy went berserk and started beating up people...like...a LOT of people...so they had to take him out and get medical for the beaten persons. After that some guy tried to off himself and they had to talk him down.
I dont live in the sticks...i was driving in the sticks (no pun intended <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> )
Jeff- I'll get the people to open the gates tomorrow morning and get some pics. Under the car is gonna be a problem, but i can possibly get the hood up and see whats causing the tire thing. Anyone wanna see my gaping wounds???

well , I am real sorry to hear about your accident. damn it sucks when a car gets wrecked. It does sound like a total from your description and most likely will be based on the airbags deploying alone thats an expensive repair right there. Well its a good thing you did not get hurt and that you have full coverage <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> hope you get the full amount that you can from the Insurance company, good luck

Buckled floorboard is bad <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> Did you have full coverage?
Sounds like you were pretty lucky to come out basically unharmed! If you haven't, I recommend a trip to the Dr. - just in case. Head on's into stationary objects aren't so good for things like backs. Better safe than sorry.
BTW: I think we've all learned a valuable lesson - take the deer out when it is wet out! Speed up and target that white-tail mf <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

Ahh yes, but you can't just hit a deer. They tend to jump before they get hit, then roll across your hood, eventually putting all four of its legs through your windshield. This can cause serious injury, such as death, crushed windpipe, cracked ribs, punctured lungs, hemmorhaging, ect. I wouldn't recommend hunting deer with your car. That's why they make rifles.
