Animal encounter.....uninsured moose

Getagrip · 12-08-2006, 05:57 PM

I hit an uninsured moose a couple nights ago. I did avoid most of the moose but its butt and what ever mangled my left mirror, L/F fender, L/R door, L/R dogleg and damaged the front and rear bumpers. It really sucks, but now I have an opertunity to upgrade. It could have been much worse. I'm alive and car is drivable. I'm going spend a few more hundred bucks (no pun intended) to have a M-Tech aero kit.
Some good can come out of the bad. I'll post pics of the damage later.

BTW, the moose was fine. It ran off into the woods.

Here are a couple pics. Car is really dirty. It's been 40 degrees lately.

Wow you're lucky, you must have been shocked!!! How fast were you going?

Are you sure the moose has no insurance?

Seriously, they're so tall that if you hit them broadside they just go right into the windshield, eh?

Hey, at least the moose is ok, because that's what really matters...

Getagrip · 07-21-2007, 07:57 PM

Well I FINALLY have some pics after the M-tech front and rear bumpers were installed in leiu of the OEM. I still ned to get my side sills put on. They are in my garage awainting me to find time to get em on.

Looks hot. Did the insurance call the incident an "Act of God"?

spacedogg · 07-21-2007, 09:18 PM

What kind of mods did the moose have?

calvino · 07-22-2007, 02:08 AM

I'm not sure what they called it. All I know is my rates did not go up.

Here's more pics
