I hate deer.

[George Nimmer]

I hate deer.  Less than one week after I get my fog lights installed and
my headlights relayed, a _very_ large deer decides to lay down in front
of my car.  Yes - it laid down.  I'm not sure if it was tired and needed
a nap, or if it had a heart attack and died on the spot.  I was going
about 70 mph on a 2 lane highway, when the deer jumped right out of the
woods in front of my car, and laid down on the asphalt just before I ran
it over!  I had no choice but to run it over.

I suppose it would have done significantly more damage had it hit it
while it was standing.  I was able to drive the car home, and I was
uninjured, so I'm thankful for that.

My newly installed fog lights are both smashed, as is my grille and one
headlight (probably from the deers head).  The major problems are
underneath.  The deer ripped the lower radiator support off from the
radiator, and bent it down about 5 inches.  Also, the "fork" looking
piece of hardware (on the drivers side) that appears to hold the front
sway bar against the subframe was bent down, which appears to have
slightly bent the front subframe on that side.

Don't even ask about the fatty, furry clumps and chunks I had to remove
from under there today.  VERY GROSS.

Any suggestions on what to do if the front subframe is bent?
