holy $*&$ you dont screw around do you?

silvertonguedevil · 06-23-2004, 04:06 PM

Is the hood ok? It looks like it in the pics. Sorry man. That's too bad.

Big J · 06-23-2004, 04:14 PM

Holy Cow! That bites, good luck on your repairs.

krue · 06-23-2004, 04:49 PM

Man that sucks! Did it push the fenders back into the doors?

sactoC10 · 06-23-2004, 05:18 PM

big DEER indeed

rambler · 06-23-2004, 05:26 PM

I called the MO State Patrol, as "parts" of the deer were still on the highway.. it dented up the left fender,, I think the right is ok,, the dent was there before.. the hood has one dent,, I had to take a crowbar to pop it open,,, but I think it may be OK.. it was a heck of a hit I tell you that much..

Zumo · 06-23-2004, 05:39 PM

Did you get to keep any meat?

silvertonguedevil · 06-23-2004, 06:21 PM

Probably whatever he could scrape off of the front bumper!

Ouch bummer deal that suck's I hit a cow once with a 75 sub and damn do those animal's do some damage...

teeitup · 06-23-2004, 10:06 PM

Wow Joe, that hit hard!!!!! Hope it goes back together good for you.

**67 cst swb** · 06-24-2004, 06:46 AM

living here in the Black Hills of South Dakota, I've been used to watching for deer. Lucky I've never hit one. How do they get the deer to cross at those deer crossing signs anyway? kidding... But, what really scared the poop outta me was. My trip to Phoenix, I was pulling into Flagstaff, Az and noticed [ ELK CROSSING ] signs... that made me slow down I'll tell ya.

toddtheodd · 06-24-2004, 07:21 AM

Funny story.
I hit a deer in Kansas in a dodge neon.
After some sliding and spinning and crunching I ended up on the side of the rode.
I looked at my girlfriend and said "Are you ok?" and she said "Yeah, are you?"
And then BOOM! Airbags had finally deployed. I was more injured from that than from the initial collision with the deer.

Good Luck With The Repair! Was It A Monster Buck With Popcorn At The Base Of The Horns?

Its one reason I was raised driving bigger cars to up the odds on crashes. Once in a while you hear of an elk/deer/horse going through a windshield.
