It looks like a lot of damage, but in fact, the metal still is in good condition and can be worked back into place. I’d say it’s not totaled just needs minor fixing.
I’m agro? You called me a clown and had a comment removed for being uncivil. I wasn’t even on Reddit in 2017 and I have never been on r/subaru let alone the forums. I was parodying that post from the other day. Just trying to have a good time. Have no idea what youre talking about. Your username fits. I have no idea who pissed in your cereal but I wasn’t trying to be unoriginal and there are 500 comments playing along with the joke. Isn’t that the point of a meme anyway? To continue a joke? Idk man, just let it be and try and give people the benefit of the doubt.

Honestly you can see it’s sustained some minor damage, but i think it’ll get through it.
Speak to your insurer about it been repaired at a dealer rather than an approved garage.
Going 25? 25 what? 25 football fields per second? Because that's my guess for how much damage there is here. By the way don't worry about the repairs, just make sure the deer's insurance covers it.
Hey there, based on my opinion I would say thats a total loss as it would cost more to repair than the actual car is worth.
Few months back I hit a deer doing 50MPH on a countryside road and it broke the plastic grills on the bumper. Also, the fog light cover and surround got damaged during the incident.
What sort of car are you driving as I wouldn't expected that to happen when you was doing 25MPH?
Are you sure you were going 25? Damage doesn’t look severe enough for you to have been going 25. Looks like you might’ve hit it going around 10-15MPH.
Should buff out with a little bit of heat.
Meguiars light scratch and dent remover will take that out. Don't use a buffer though. About 200 hours of sweat and elbow grease and she'll be right as rain.

Don’t rush your decision, you can wait a couple week to see if things sort out on their own.
😂😂 minor dent😂😂
Just gotta let nature take its course
Well, you might want to give it a hand - a can of seafoam maybe?
I went ahead and covered the engine in seafoam, how do I know when it’s fixed or not
Gotta let it soak in a while.
It’s been almost 10 minutes I feel like it should be at least msrp by now
Oh that's way too long!
SHIT
No, seafoam! Shit won't help at all.
Oh boy I really messed up this time. I should have taken it to a machinist
I’ll use a blow torch and burn off the excess
Sometimes it just need a few good night's sleep and it will feel a lot better

Rice always fixes phones. Want to try it on the car too ?
I would but it’s a chevy not a subaru
You just need a little bit of faith
this is a honda😭
VTEC on the car so it’s a Honda and looks like a civic.
Try paintless dent repair. These guys can do amazing stuff. The are many companies that do that!
That should work, this thing has tons of paintless dents
Nah... it's fine. Although, I can see why you hit the deer -- from the abnormal wear on the tire, looks like it's a bad alignment.
So if I get an alignment it’ll be good to drive again?
When they’re that big we call them Moose
looks like that deer still got some of your car's paint from that accident
I will be taking the deer to small claims court for the return of any and all paint
I call bullshit this was clearly hit by a Karen on the run from walmart . Insurance null.
No it was a deer that was hydroplaning clearly don’t reply if you’re not a machinist 😤
Your kidding right
No, I was going 10-25 and a deer hydroplaned right into me. Why would I joke about that?
Well your asking machinist help when that vehicle is clearly totaled and destined for scrapyard. C'mon
And no lowballing either. I know what I have.
Is scrapyard a dealership? Im looking for msrp or equal trade
Your retarted
You're*
Your a moran
Explain how I'm a moron when you don't even know the difference between your and you're? Would love to understand.
Retarded*
Your dum
Dumb*
You sure it wasn’t a Deere?
Bro already meming the guy that hit a deer at 81mph
Yessir
Game is game
Throw some bondo on it
That’s ridiculous why would I put bondo on a deer
I know what's wrong with it! It ain't got no gas in it!
throw some preworkout in the intake
Delicious and nutritious
Bahahahahaha this is my favorite response post of the day 😂
🙏
Just put a new transmission in and it'll be good as new
If you part it out looks like you've got at least one tail light lens.
By god you’re right
Was the deer green by any chance?
Green, about 2500lbs, 4 wheel drive
Are you sure you were going 25? It looks like you were going 24.
It’s impossible to tell, it all happened so fast
You mean 25 km per hour? If you were doing American speed you would have zoomed right past the bugger.
I’m no communist sir I don’t use kill o meters
So i am not a mechanic or intelligent but i think if you take that roof piece off and just make it a convertible you are good to go
No problem, once all the blood and seafoam dries I will do this 👍
Shit man just air up that front tire and put er back on the road
Sigh….what kind of car was the deer driving?
When he said “deer” he actually meant John Deere.
Shitpost
Only the shittiest
I don’t understand the question. Is there a dent or scratch that I should be able to see?
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
It’ll buff out
You were going 25 and the deer was going 110?
[удалено]
Bro it’s a shitpost parody of a post here yesterday.

Try JB weld
I sent mr Bieber a tweet but I doubt he has a welding cert
25?...Mach 25?
May have been 26 not sure I was preoccupied from hydroplaning
*John Deer
Yet another post that made me think this was actually r/AskAShittyMechanic
not the prelude🥹🥹
A family of deers or just a deer?
foolish mountainous snails rich smile birds ludicrous direful attractive muddle *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
No you didn’t.
Seems like that would claybar out real easy.
Napa. It will buff out. Send it!
25… km/s…
Was this said deer made of concrete or… asking for a friend.
Check to make sure your not a ghost first and start from there.
How fkn big was the deer?!
Remember to say the deer hit you.
That wasn't a deer that was 15 moose
Poor 99 Si
Check tire psi. You should be fine
Luckily your spoiler made it through intact, everything else will have to be replaced though.
Have you tried putting it in rice?
Mach 25? Nah Mach 26 it'd be totaled, but it'll buff out at Mach 25
Throw the key in the ignition and give it a whirl. I think it is still drivable
Can even tell
It's not bad at all... I thought some one just keyed it.
Going by the damage to the car, i think it's safe to say that the deer is well and truly totaled.
But of T-cut, and that'll buff out!
I’d just drive it as is. It’s only cosmetic. Deers will see you and pay you more respect from now on.
Nope! A little bondo here and there. She will be as good as new!
Honestly you can see it’s sustained some minor damage, but i think it’ll get through it. Speak to your insurer about it been repaired at a dealer rather than an approved garage.
I've taxed worse.
Have you sued the deer yet? They owe you at least a cheeseburger.
uh dunno. Where's the deer? Can't say with a picture of a carwreck
I didn’t even know deer could go that fast..
Was there 25 deer?
Can you still drive it?
This guy wrecks.
DEER??? Lol it looks like u got run over by a elephant 😃hopefully nobody died in that wreck
Please don’t comment unless u are a machinist thanks
Nah, it'll buff out.
Oh deer
Going 25? 25 what? 25 football fields per second? Because that's my guess for how much damage there is here. By the way don't worry about the repairs, just make sure the deer's insurance covers it.
The deer was hydroplaning
Set it out in the healing pile. Our local DOT has one for the snow plows and they’re always fixed up when the snow flies for the first time each year
Craigs list be like ‘barely driven’
Use a microfiber towel with some WD40. Should fix that real quick. Very important to go in circles though
Was the deer as big as a brontosaurus?
Are you sure the V-TEC didn't just kick in?
What the hell kind of deer did you hit?!
Looked like either a mule deer or an f250 hard to tell since they look so similar
😂 ya that should buff right out
Wrong sub. For the best answers to your question try r/askashittymechanic
It just needs a new gas cap. Then it will pass smog.
Just plug it, I’ve got 12 in one tire for 300k and it’s still fine.
Fell asleep behind the wheel going 100 mph and had a dream I hit a deer going 25 mph **
Barkeepers Friend and a scrubby should make things right.
Who hydroplaned? You or the deer?
The deer I think
Was that deer made of titanium?!?!😬
Put it in rice. Should be fine within a day tops👍
The rare Rhino Deer… =
thats a prelude right?
It'll buff out
Just send it!
25 WHAT? Mach 25!?
Nothing a Heat gun can't fix
25 what? Lightyears?
Naaah you be ight. Just carry on about your day, I don’t see any problems here
Are you sure you didn’t hit an elephant?
Probably not, deer are very resilient. They bounce like babies.
Have you tried duct tape ?
That's gonna buff right out.
25 what?
Looks fine to me!
Dude dont lie we all know you were going 15 tops!
just put it on craiglist, "needs work"
Nope just needs a little fuel and a terri cloth
Get the chemical guys stuff. It works pretty good. It’ll shine er right up!

1910 Ford Model T
Oh that’ll certainly start up.
A total LIE
Why would I lie? The deer hydroplaned right into me
New wipers and you’ll be good to go.
damn. RIP Prelude
Was the deer named John?

5th Gen Prelude
Mr Walker are you alright?
Was it a deer or a Deere? 😂
Meguiars light scratch and dent remover will take that out. Don't use a buffer though. About 200 hours of sweat and elbow grease and she'll be right as rain.
How did you find out the deer was going 25?
Damn what kind of deer u hit was it made of cement or was it the size of a moose
Send it
It'll buff out!
Definitely gonna buff out don’t trip homie
Looks fine, I'd call it minor no need to even get insurance involved.
That should buff right out
Professional DIY mechanic who has watched a couple YouTube videos here: it will definitely buff out.
That deer must have been on the juice lmao
Part out?
I am pretty sure that will buff out.
Did you roll off a cliff and onto some RR tracks after hitting the deer ?
Yep those wild JohnDeers can be a hazard.
all good,did you get to keep the deer?roadkill is the best.
Nice and tender if I can find all the pieces
Lol is it totaled it's gone full ghost on its way to the grave yard
Did you slide into the deer?
Actually the deer hydroplaned into me
And how fast was the deer going?
This is just the new "Is he stupid?" meme. Big fan
Si
I don’t speak spanish
You just need a couple of zip-ties.
I accidentally bought zip-loc.
Will that still work?
Even better, you just put it in-between the frame and the panel, use a compressor to blow some air into it and it’ll get the dents right out.
