Just what I needed...

James10694 · 11-03-2015, 01:01 AM

I was headed home from work and I hit a dog on the highway. Im surprised how much damage there is for such a small dog. I believe it was a pitbull.. he was just sitting in the middle of the my lane. I Didn't have enough time to react unfortunately. Entire front end is done and the steering wheel is in pieces from the airbag... I guess it's time for an upgrade

Oh man! That sux, though your car got messed up I feel bad for the dog too! Did it have tags so you can pursue the owner?

James10694 · 11-03-2015, 01:41 AM

Yes the cop took care of it

njobe89 · 11-03-2015, 08:24 AM

you can make them pay for the damages

Duc_Z09 · 11-03-2015, 08:26 AM

That sux, at least you're OK and hopefully the dog didn't suffer. Are you going to fix it?

KMO-II · 11-03-2015, 08:30 AM

Awe man. Sorry that happened and everybody is ok. Wish u well and a speedy recovery on that sweet ride.

Glad you're okay. And according to Disney, all dogs go to heaven.

Looks like it's time for a '15 Nismo front end

Disney has said lots of things...

Hopefully the dog didn't suffer and I see a new front bumper in your near future.

Hope everything goes smoothly from here.

All dogs go to heaven was a Disney Movie?

It was actually a Sullivan Bluth production. Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid released in theaters the same day.

Damn................

So if the airbag deploys does that means the car would be considered totaled? Never had a wreck before which is why I'm asking.

Depends on how bad the frame looks. Air bags can deploy without the car being considered totaled. I'd say this car is far from totaled at a glance.

I don't think there is any frame damage but im no expert. The front bumper and part of the lower headlight assembly/bracket and steering wheel is the only damage I have observed. Going to take the car in to the body shop tomorrow.

Is the dog ok? Cars are replaceable but dogs aren't
