Maybe I just shouldn't own this car
 

Some may remember, from a earlier this year, that I had hail storm damage to my car for around 16k. It took several months to get fixed but finally got it all squared away. Well now I got car jacked by a deer last night. It was a true set up, momma deer came loping out and I swerved and braked to miss her, her bamby snuck up and head butted the side of my car. Hood crumpled, passanger door and quarter panel crushed, and not sure what else.

I'm afraid that if I get it fixed again the gods are going to start a plague to keep me out of the car.

Oh well, I have really good insurance for a reason I guess. Tis the season for the deer to start roaming, everyone be safe.

See if you can just get your insurance to get that car totalled and just get a new one. As much as I love my car, if I had to see it get that damaged and repaired over and over again, I'd rather get rid of it and get a new one.

How fast were you going? I've heard even at slow speeds, the damage is not pretty. Hope you are OK. The car loves you man. Don't give up on her.

From an "earlier year":

'Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small,
large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.' -
Sir Winston Churchill
Speech, 1941, Harrow School

Time to get a gun rack and deer rifle for your BRZ it sounds like :D

Hopefully you have/are getting a diminished value claim approved by your insurance co. That is crazy bad luck! Glad to hear you're okay though.

This car would look pretty awesome with a tow-hook mounted anti-deer shotgun.

For a change was driving less than the speed limit. The woods come right up next to the road and I swerved/braked to get around momma putting the car as much in the ditch as I dared when bambi jumped me.
If I had been speeding like normal I would have been past that point and missed the deer.:D

Luckily noone was hurt (except bambi). The damage is not to severe, kind of wish it was worse so I could do like a poster from above stated and get it totaled and buy a new one. I failed to read the cursed disclaimer that came with the invoice on the car nor did I see the part about old farts shouldn't have sports cars.

Before anyone asks, yes the guy that helped me get out of the ditch harvested the deer so it wasnt a total loss.

Glad you weren't hurt. Sucks about the deer. I wish our country had elevated earthen walkways for critters to cross safely...

How about something like this?

I was going for immobilization/lowering the impact point, but if you want to vaporize it, sure.

Gosh thats tough. I hope bamby lost...

Dayum! That's rough...

My advice, get purify by Tada-san by getting his autograph. All other car company put a lot of curse on this car lol

Lol may as we'll get an F truck

Wonder how much a decent looking kid hitter would cost someone to make

The sheep here are so much better behaved than your deer!

That sucks, sorry to hear about the damage. That's the rule for deer though. You see one and there's always another one nearby, and that's the one you end up hitting. Did that in a state fleet vehicle several years ago.

Hope you get her fixed up soon!

Is the deer ok????

No, the deer is dead and they ate it...really.

The car should have been totaled for 16k worth of damage in the first place, I would think. And this sounds like more than 3 quarter panel's worth of damage. Again, totaled. Sounds like you should have talk with your insurance, bro.

Deer are a menace, a plague to all auto drivers. If the government was so concerned about safety as to force manufacturers into adding 500 lbs to nearly every vehicle they should hold a nationwide open season bag as many deer as you want and feed the poor, cut the population back 90%.


Driving is are most dangerous daily activity and I think deer add significantly to that stat.


Just get her fix and move on. Buy the upgraded headlight bulbs(H9) and a pair of those deer horns.


I hate deer.

NO!!!:brokenheart:

Fuck that deer, road vermin.


I remember back in the 70's you rarely saw deer or had so many collisions, cause people hunted the heck out of them, and no they didn't go extinct. The DNR & DOT need to do something.

Yea...I'm just kidding. Deer season just started over here. I killed Bambi's dad yesterday, nice 6 pointer.

What can I say, Just a poor ol Mississippi boy here. Couldn't pass up roadkill stew especially when someone else was processing it for me. ;-)
