Kevskate99 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I was good, but the deer was inside out on the highway. I dragged it off dodging traffic at 10pm. And I tried to find the head, but that was MIA.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 As long as everyone is ok, that's the most important thing. I hope you get back on the road quickly and everything works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I hit a deer doing about that speed in a 68 Opel Rallye. Peeled the hood and pushed the right front side back flush with the front window and spun me around 180 degrees. Had nightmares about that for weeks. Very rural area... threw the deer up in a pine tree at the side of the road, about 15' off the ground. Couldn't find it for about an hour and we were worried it would stumble back out into traffic again. Hope you're okay and that your car gets fixed very soon.

ChruiSSer Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Where's the blood? Yea I hit a deer doing about 40 in my car and the only damage was a dent in the hood, a couple of bumper clips broken, and my passengerside door dented because it flung around into the door. I also got rearended a couple weeks ago by a lady doing 35+ in a 3 series bmw. My car is driveable but has some minor damage, her car had easily 6k worth of damages. I'm VERY pleased with the way these cars are withstanding impacts. It looks like in the pics, that the fender didn't even push into the door on the pass. side, so I assume you were able to open the pass. door?

mmm def Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 That sucks, glad you are ok. Did your airbags come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevskate99 Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 Where did the pic go? was it too big? But, yea, my car is at the shop right now. the only thing that really got mangled was the headlight and hood, front of the fender and the radiator support got slightly bent. All the doors open fine, the pass door/fender line is still perfect. And no airbags went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daverino Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I hit 3 deer in a 9 month span back in college. Took me about a year of no deer impacts to feel perfectly comfortable driving at night on rural roads. Before that I probably could have been diagnosed with a mild case of post-traumatic stress disorder. I'd find myself honking the horn and driving slow when I'd even THINK of the possibility deer on the road. Very unsettling. Glad you're okay, and I hope you get your car back soon.

TonyDB Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Daverino, I know what you mean. I hit a deer this fall on my way to work. For the longest time I found myself driving really slow and all but riding my brakes every time I got close to that spot. I've had a lot of close calls with deer and moose over the years, but that never phased me until I hit one. Funny thing, back in college while driving with a friend we hit a cow, tolaled the car. That didn't give me the paranoid feeling that hitting the deer provided. Guess I figured the chances of hitting another cow were slim. Glad to hear everyone's OK. Doesn't look like the damage was as much as I would have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGT330Ci Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Good luck with that, looks like its going to be a bit more then 5k in damages though. I had an accident with less damage then that that cost 7k in total damages a few months ago. Song of Post- B.B.

eamiller Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I can attest to the PTSD after hitting a deer.. I had one run out in front of me on a bright sunny May day on a county road.. Luckily it was young and only made it to the front fender (and slid back) instead of in front of me.. Scared the living bejeezus out of me.. Even now a few years later, I still get a little paranoid driving on a county road during the night (even though it happened during the day)..

agctr Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Ouch but seriously, before I opened the post, I was expecting a lot worse. Hope u get the GT back on the road ASAP and that you and anyone else in the GT is AOK. All the best. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
