Tis the season for deer. I avoided one last night, but overcorrected and hit a curbed median 8 inches tall. I am uninjured. The 2001 Subaru Outback Assault Wagon is considerably worse for wear. $700 so far in parts ordered today. The strut took most of the impact. The lower control arm is bent, but attach points on the uni body appear to be unaffected. Left front wheel and tire destroyed, left rear wheel bent. Ordered a strut, a lower control ar, a ball joint and 2 new Michelin Defenders. I have a line on 2 used wheels at $50 each from the local junkyard. I was 60 miles from home. I jacked it up,saw nothing running out of it anywhere and put the donut spare on which barely cleared the fender well. then I limped it home at 45 MPH....I was very lucky....
