Alero Project

[fraido2002]

Well last friday I got myself another deer. So now I get to put off the little things i've been working on for the cutlass and now spend some time on the alero. Good news is they didn't total it. I just have to scrounge up some parts.

Ouch! How did the deer make out? Did it survive? Good luck with the repairs.

More importantly, how did it taste?

good thing you ok and you might want to think about putting on some snow tires so you can maneuver easier and stop quicker

I have all season tires on it. Good year triple assurance. That car has been my daily driver for the last 9 years, I love it. I got it stripped down now i'm just waiting on parts.

and for summer driving.....

"Here’s your takeaway: Not all all-season UHP tires are bad, and not all summer tires are great. But all-season tires offer LESS damp-road grip than otherwise equal summer (or, better named, “three-season”) tires. Customers need to understand that before they disrespect their rides (and themselves) with a tire that may not do what they expect."

Looks like it was mostly superficial. Bolt-on repairs make the best best out of a disappointing situation. Did your windshield survive? Almost looks like a crack right above the passenger side wiper.

 

[fraido2002]

Yeah, all bolt on stuff, which is good. The crack was already there, it is so low I just never got around to getting it fixed.

My uncle just hit a deer in his Ranger last week. Didnt do much damage but the deer managed to empty its bowels along the side of the truck

Yep, same luck here. If you look at the first pictures of the mangled fender you can see where the deer added insult to injury by craping on my car.
