@%!@!@ deer

[Luspher]

Do i was testing out this:



and i come up to a deer on the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, FACING THE OTHER WAY. So, I reduce my speed to 35 and i'm almost past it when all of the sudden the thing about faces and jumps right in front of my #$%@#$@#$@#$@#$ car. Fortunatly i was able to scoop the deer up. It did a flip in the air landed on my hood then, after a brief pause ran away.

Here's the pics from the morning after:











I think i'm pretty fortunate. It looks like it nothing that a little muscle, bondo, and paint wont fix.

wow...what are the chances of that , that sucks, good luck on fixing it up

[Knailgun]

oh that sucks man...sorry to hear. This is the reason I drive my truck in upstate NY so much

Consider yourself lucky. In 1995, my family's friends were in the upper peninsula doing about 50 and hit a deer that totaled the whole front end of their blazer

i saw a u-haul truck hit a four point buck one time. The whole front end of the truck was bent in.

My grandmother had one hit her in the side of her early nineties Grand Marquis. had to replace the hood , drivers front fender, and both drivers side doors. And it was not driveable. HAve seen some pretty bad damage caused by deer. Lots of them here in Tennessee.

lucky u slowed down
dunno if those whistle thing that you put on the bumper works or not?

no worries about deers in the south. maybe a skunk or the critters running around only

[Toysrme]

Sorry about the car.

You got off lucky.

Do what we do. Buy the gay little $1 whistles that work over 35mph and stick them under the front of the car. They've helped me out the last two years. I always thoguht it was a crock of shit... But they seme to work OK.


I haven't seen a deer at night in a long time. (near the road)

Man jsut went and looked at that old thread. We have deer hit all the time her in Middle Tennessee. We see them laying nthe road all the timebut I dont think I ahve ever seen one that bad. Of course you know here he could have taken it home legaly and never had to call the cops. GOtta love those redneck road kill laws. If you hit and it dies take it home, dont have to call anyone about it.

If you think fast food is when you hit a deer at 65 mph... You might be a redneck.

That's rough... the deer population here in MD is getting pretty high. So that means, soon enough, they will have to be . . . uhhh . . . taken care of .

[JetspeedCamry]

Damn! No deer round here haha. We have kangaroos here!!

BTW, nice paint color, ive never seen that on a Gen 3. Looks the same as mine.

haha good plan, I'm thinking about just putting on a cattle blow.

-- ECale3

wow, that suprises me, i rear ended a ford contour in a u-haul when i hit a patch of black ice, i totaled the thing, but i returned the u-haul and they didn't even notice. Those things are tanks.

-- Toysrme

holy crap... that's insane. Imagine what the driver looked like. Probably had to wipe the stomach acid off his face. that's crazy. that's if he survived.

-- Stryker360

yeah, it's suprising. I notice them more when I'm up in the montgomery village area than i do out here in brunswick. They're always right by the road too.


-- JetspeedCamry

haha, nice, anyone ever hit one then get in a boxing match with one? IT's like kangaroo road rage. Thanks for the compliments on the paint.

[Phatfantom68]

Damn, that trailblazer that toysrme posted must have been a bitch to clean out and salvage or repair
