I got the hood opened
Right up and over the bumper it went...
Taking out mostly everything ahead of the cylinder head
but not the windshield.
the front cross member where the hood latches took the most abuse
the rest of the engine got out mostly unscathed
the front of the frame that meets the bumper got moved over from the deer's lateral inertia (it was running from my right to left pretty fast)
as did the front quarter panels
the wiper assembly got broken by the hood as it got pushed back
it prolly would have still run if the distributor cap didn't get unseated...or if it wasn't made in fucking mexico!
both headlights still work!
Looks pretty normal from the back
new temporary ride isn't much better...

no, airbag didn't deploy.
The benz is okay, but its slow as shit and handles like an olds cutlass with bicycle tires. I'm glad to be back in the smaller ride. Sure, its no demon either, but it corners.
yes, benz's are reliable. Yes, they ride nice. The S-class has fairly interesting handling, but it is still a slug. The TD wagon is a fucking elephant on rollerskates. End of story. I'm not knocking the car, but after driving it for a while I know it's just not my style.
Although... if you could put a cummins in it and 245 tires.. you might be on to something.
