I Hit A Deer!!!...

After a week of driunken women filled spring break in panama city, me and my boys headed back to atl sat night after leaving tuner bash. I am back in atl on a small road and a deer runs out in front of me. I managed to react quick enough so that i swerved a little and it hit up against the side of my car and scrapped along the side. I get out and there were NO scratches or dents. There was just some deer hair on my car. AMAZING. I thought my car would have been really messed up. I guess he slid off the waxed paint..lol..

I hope i did not kill the deer. I probably did though. It was about 12 am at night so i did not go back to check and see. Im very thankful it didnt destroy my car and kill myself. God is good..

you lucky lucky bastard. bambi did this to my car @ about 65 mph. i didn't have much chance to hit the breaks so i probably hit at or close to that speed.



i tried to find the nissan emblem but i think i left it in the deer.
it has been fixed since then. oh and i definitely killed the deer. how long have deer and cars coincided? and they still can't manage to avoid jumping in front of one at 65 mph.

yeah it could have been worse. my air box exploded, , my radiator mount was bent and my passenger airbag needed to be repacked, for some reason my driver airbag didn't blow out. everything else was mostly panels paint and lights


and RVD good thing you're ok.

Hitting a deer is no joke. We hit a deer with my grandfathers van (1986 Econoline 150 with a thick chrome bumper) and the deer bent the bumper into the left tire. I had to bend it back out with a jack so that it would stop rubbing. This was in Georgia also.

Man, I remember a clip being posted in NWMaxima.com. A sherriff deputy was on an emergency call, driving down a back country road doing about probably 85mph, when a deer runs out of nowhere and the sheriff car hits it straight on. SPLAT! It destroyed the entire front end of the car.

Man, you got out of it lucky!!! Good part is they your car is fine, and most importantly, your fine!

Your lucky man. Although, I would attribute your luck to the fact that the deer in Georgia are dogs while here they are more like rhinos.

i thought i had destroyed my car. SO i stopped ahead to check on the car. I did not go back to check on the deer. It was pretty late at night and i just wanted to go home after driving all the way from panama city.

that's scary, espeically Bambi prancing around the road. I can imagine they cause considerable amount of damage to a car.

You are very lucky. My friend hit a deer in his explorer. He was thrown thru the sunroof and landed 150ft. down the road. Needless to say, b/t him and the deer there were no survivors.

Uhh i think that puts the rumor to rest that there are crack heads on the .org


Why in the hell would i hit a squirrel on purpose? It ran out at the last minute. Either Put down the pipe or the bottle and chill the fukk out, you sound like an upset green peace activist.
