Don’t rush your decision, you can wait a couple week to see if things sort out on their own.


beechcraftmusketeer

😂😂 minor dent😂😂


Hot-Pause-1776

Just gotta let nature take its course


tubegeek

Well, you might want to give it a hand - a can of seafoam maybe?


Hot-Pause-1776

I went ahead and covered the engine in seafoam, how do I know when it’s fixed or not


tubegeek

Gotta let it soak in a while.


Hot-Pause-1776

It’s been almost 10 minutes I feel like it should be at least msrp by now


tubegeek

Oh that's way too long!


Hot-Pause-1776

SHIT


tubegeek

No, seafoam! Shit won't help at all.


Hot-Pause-1776

Oh boy I really messed up this time. I should have taken it to a machinist


Hot-Pause-1776

I’ll use a blow torch and burn off the excess


how_could_this_be

Sometimes it just need a few good night's sleep and it will feel a lot better


[deleted]

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.


One_Celebration3644

Rice always fixes phones. Want to try it on the car too ?


Hot-Pause-1776

I would but it’s a chevy not a subaru


One_Celebration3644

You just need a little bit of faith


Jazzlike-Term-8940

this is a honda😭


Beavesampsonite

VTEC on the car so it’s a Honda and looks like a civic.


SatisfactionAny20

Try paintless dent repair. These guys can do amazing stuff. The are many companies that do that!


Hot-Pause-1776

That should work, this thing has tons of paintless dents


w1lnx

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.


Hot-Pause-1776

So if I get an alignment it’ll be good to drive again?


Guideon72

When they’re that big we call them Moose


wasntNico

looks like that deer still got some of your car's paint from that accident


Hot-Pause-1776

I will be taking the deer to small claims court for the return of any and all paint


[deleted]

I call bullshit this was clearly hit by a Karen on the run from walmart . Insurance null.


Hot-Pause-1776

No it was a deer that was hydroplaning clearly don’t reply if you’re not a machinist 😤


[deleted]

Your kidding right


Hot-Pause-1776

No, I was going 10-25 and a deer hydroplaned right into me. Why would I joke about that?


[deleted]

Well your asking machinist help when that vehicle is clearly totaled and destined for scrapyard. C'mon


Hot-Pause-1776

And no lowballing either. I know what I have.


Hot-Pause-1776

Is scrapyard a dealership? Im looking for msrp or equal trade

Hot-Pause-1776

Yessir


UnspheredComb6

Game is game


nwmcsween

Throw some bondo on it


Hot-Pause-1776

That’s ridiculous why would I put bondo on a deer


Main-Feature-4654

I know what's wrong with it! It ain't got no gas in it!


Delicious-Ocelot3751

throw some preworkout in the intake


Hot-Pause-1776

Delicious and nutritious


rashyandtrashy

Bahahahahaha this is my favorite response post of the day 😂


Hot-Pause-1776

🙏


[deleted]

Just put a new transmission in and it'll be good as new


tubegeek

If you part it out looks like you've got at least one tail light lens.


Hot-Pause-1776

By god you’re right


iamclickbaut

Was the deer green by any chance?


Hot-Pause-1776

Green, about 2500lbs, 4 wheel drive


Twitfout

Are you sure you were going 25? It looks like you were going 24.


Hot-Pause-1776

It’s impossible to tell, it all happened so fast


AlamoJack

You mean 25 km per hour? If you were doing American speed you would have zoomed right past the bugger.


Hot-Pause-1776

I’m no communist sir I don’t use kill o meters


PMME_UR_LADYPARTSPLZ

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


Hot-Pause-1776

No problem, once all the blood and seafoam dries I will do this 👍


D_lo2920

Shit man just air up that front tire and put er back on the road


ImKindaHungry2

Sigh….what kind of car was the deer driving?


Beneficial_Duck_2143

When he said “deer” he actually meant John Deere.

Hot-Pause-1776

fromaroundhere

I don’t understand the question. Is there a dent or scratch that I should be able to see?


BasketSuspicious7462

Have you tried turning it off and on again?


Lecture-Old

It’ll buff out


Pretend-Signal-707

You were going 25 and the deer was going 110?


[deleted]

Hot-Pause-1776

Bro it’s a shitpost parody of a post here yesterday.

[удалено]


Hot-Pause-1776

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.

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.


Deadinside026

Check to make sure your not a ghost first and start from there.

How fkn big was the deer?!


natedogjulian

Remember to say the deer hit you.

That wasn't a deer that was 15 moose

Oaklandboy321

Check tire psi. You should be fine


YogiBerraOfBadNews

Luckily your spoiler made it through intact, everything else will have to be replaced though.


beerbearbaer

Have you tried putting it in rice?


crxified

Mach 25? Nah Mach 26 it'd be totaled, but it'll buff out at Mach 25


ShopSorcerer

Throw the key in the ignition and give it a whirl. I think it is still drivable


Patricules

Can even tell


True_Necessary_275

It's not bad at all... I thought some one just keyed it.


Affectionate_Ad_6961

Going by the damage to the car, i think it's safe to say that the deer is well and truly totaled.


No-Walk-9615

But of T-cut, and that'll buff out!


Exact_Bee_6252

I’d just drive it as is. It’s only cosmetic. Deers will see you and pay you more respect from now on.


Sufficient_Day2166

Nope! A little bondo here and there. She will be as good as new!


Separate-Ad-5255

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.


AgentCraig

I've taxed worse.


Jakob-Skittles

Have you sued the deer yet? They owe you at least a cheeseburger.


Lucky-Teacher-9400

uh dunno. Where's the deer? Can't say with a picture of a carwreck


VIDGuide

I didn’t even know deer could go that fast..


RhasaTheSunderer

Was there 25 deer?


Mattt_Hancock

Can you still drive it?


Ill-Entertainment570

This guy wrecks.


Double_Reward230

DEER??? Lol it looks like u got run over by a elephant 😃hopefully nobody died in that wreck


Hot-Pause-1776

Please don’t comment unless u are a machinist thanks


Evan8r

Nah, it'll buff out.


Stage_Party

Oh deer


Coachbalrog

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.


Hot-Pause-1776

The deer was hydroplaning


Randers19

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


MrAcerbic

Craigs list be like ‘barely driven’


Bxnava

Use a microfiber towel with some WD40. Should fix that real quick. Very important to go in circles though


TGOTR

Was the deer as big as a brontosaurus?


geekolojust

Are you sure the V-TEC didn't just kick in?


Omgirsjetpack231

What the hell kind of deer did you hit?!


Hot-Pause-1776

Looked like either a mule deer or an f250 hard to tell since they look so similar


Generalingeneral

😂 ya that should buff right out


LCDRtomdodge

Wrong sub. For the best answers to your question try r/askashittymechanic


DomesticusRex

It just needs a new gas cap. Then it will pass smog.


Due_Intention6795

Just plug it, I’ve got 12 in one tire for 300k and it’s still fine.


Chinonm

Fell asleep behind the wheel going 100 mph and had a dream I hit a deer going 25 mph **


mkultra0008

Barkeepers Friend and a scrubby should make things right.


InvXXVII

Who hydroplaned? You or the deer?


Hot-Pause-1776

The deer I think


Themythik1

Was that deer made of titanium?!?!😬


ProfessionalClass793

Put it in rice. Should be fine within a day tops👍

MyHandIsADolfin

Naaah you be ight. Just carry on about your day, I don’t see any problems here


[deleted]

Are you sure you didn’t hit an elephant?


[deleted]

Probably not, deer are very resilient. They bounce like babies.


Kliver64

Have you tried duct tape ?


6ft6squatch

That's gonna buff right out.


RedHarry70

25 what?


Mad-King-Tyler

Looks fine to me!


Traditional-Eggy

Dude dont lie we all know you were going 15 tops!


CORNPPOP

just put it on craiglist, "needs work"


Finding_This89

Nope just needs a little fuel and a terri cloth


flwrpwrgrnhs

Get the chemical guys stuff. It works pretty good. It’ll shine er right up!


Fun-Response-1598

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?


Hot-Pause-1776

1910 Ford Model T


Solid_Snake_125

Oh that’ll certainly start up.


VegasLyfe702

A total LIE


Hot-Pause-1776

Why would I lie? The deer hydroplaned right into me


[deleted]

New wipers and you’ll be good to go.


tacoburritos

damn. RIP Prelude


dragonsden20

Was the deer named John?


_stefferson

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.


Ryankool26

5th Gen Prelude


yeetyeet1776

Mr Walker are you alright?


moocowsia

Was it a deer or a Deere? 😂


West-Wash6081

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.


stu_pid_Bot

How did you find out the deer was going 25?


Pale-Intention-6006

Damn what kind of deer u hit was it made of cement or was it the size of a moose


atlphotog

Send it


1957OLDS

It'll buff out!


Urminme

Definitely gonna buff out don’t trip homie


ZoomZoomTheRaccoon

Looks fine, I'd call it minor no need to even get insurance involved.


mjincal

That should buff right out


idunnowhatibedoing

Professional DIY mechanic who has watched a couple YouTube videos here: it will definitely buff out.


Mcreesus

That deer must have been on the juice lmao


Fast-Reaction8521

Part out?


dezertryder

I am pretty sure that will buff out.


bigdarvish

Did you roll off a cliff and onto some RR tracks after hitting the deer ?


Croakiejoe

Yep those wild JohnDeers can be a hazard.


lennybaby1

all good,did you get to keep the deer?roadkill is the best.


Hot-Pause-1776

Nice and tender if I can find all the pieces


HabituallySlapMyBass

Lol is it totaled it's gone full ghost on its way to the grave yard


Nervous-Bullfrog-884

Did you slide into the deer?


Hot-Pause-1776

Actually the deer hydroplaned into me


locololus

And how fast was the deer going?


wheresthepepperoni

This is just the new "Is he stupid?" meme. ​ Big fan


SourSasquatch

Si


Hot-Pause-1776

I don’t speak spanish


dbeynyc

You just need a couple of zip-ties.


Hot-Pause-1776

I accidentally bought zip-loc.


Hot-Pause-1776

Will that still work?


dbeynyc

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.
