Why cant he keep the deer? I wish people would do that around here. Instead they just leave em sit on the side of the road to rot.

Yeah, looks to me like all it needs is a new bumper. Where do they get 3,600?

There might be alot of damage that you cant see in the picture. Wiring for the fog lights, air bag sensors ect. If the intercooler and radiator is fine I'd just collect a check and buy a road armor/ ranch hand style bumper.
