Anyways after getting hit in a parking lot last week this happens.

Tonight im driving down a normally busy road...when i catch something to my left side.. i realize it is a huge deer. I hit the brakes and i see it start running toward the car.....now i lock up the brakes. Next thing i see are his hooves then i feel glass showering down on my face. I slide to a stop, smoke everywhere. I have no windshield left, I have no passenger window left. I get out of the car after calling 911 and my hood is dented and pushed in badly....the headlight is pushed into the engine bay, my corner lights and front lip are hanging, and my door piller is bent badly.... but the good news is im ok.

Ill post the pics as soon as i can take some.
my car wont be the same for a while

 

Why is everyone hitting a deer or getting in an accident lately. It's no fun; STOP it.

 

I don't think he meant for it to happen.

I hope you are ok Ryan.
Cars can be fixed.
Good luck with everything

 

I think its deer mating season. They are all over the place. Sorry about your accident.

 

Are deer friggin retarded or something? I always see the same story.. the deer CHARGE the oncoming traffic lol.

 

for real. they're all over l.a.

hope your ok dude and everything works out fine

 

glad ur fine

 

 

thanks

yeah the policeman said that it was mating season and the males have no common sense .... they say this actually happens ALOT right now...anyways im going to inspect the damage in the light..see what all needs to be fixed

 

When I took calls at the insurance company I always used to think people were bs'ing and being stupid when they said that the deer "ran into the car" i was like...yeah right - how does that happen - just tell me you ran him down. hehe. until i was upstate ny with my friends and a deer actually ran into the car!! sucks. sorry about your car dude. I feel ya though - I just got over a month of lot's of crap with my car but it's back and better than ever now... just like yours will be

 

Deer have caused me problems too. Hunting started a week ago today, I've only seen 2 deer since (down from about 4 a day). Around here people mostly hit the deer, but occasionally I hear stories of the deer hitting the car. At least you didn't react by swerving away, I know 2 people around here that rolled their cars trying to swerve away from deer.

Hope everything works out with your car.

 

wow, good thing you are ok man. i know how you feel though about it pouring...

1) my wheel fell off while i was driving. not very cool. and scared the ish outta me. heres a pic of the damage



2) i leave my car at San Jose State last weekend and when I come back, my tires got slashed and the fockers stole my chrome air caps!

they say things happen in three's so I'm scared to drive my car now...

 

Holy crap!! What happened to your axle, brake disc, pad ect ?!?! Chrome air caps Do you mean the plastic center peice you screw in with that tool ?

Hmm...Konig Caffeine 17x8...Blue calipers...B&G springs... looks familier

 

damn man!!!!!! I feel for you! that sucks....

I'm **** scared to drive upstate where there is dangers of hitting a deer on some roads. Especially narrow *** roads with the forest everywhere, those ****in deer hop right over the tiny 5 foot fences they put there and jog across the roads... damn, they have a special insurance feature for protection against deer right? Damn, I don't have that....

 

dohhhh
that so sucks!

good luck getting your car fixed!

 

Wow, I go to San Jose State... damn I'm gonna have to be careful with
my Max!

 

DEERS ARE DUMB!

 

i'm so used to deer in my town that i can never relax when driving. i always have my eyes peeled for deer.

 

The irony in this statement is just too funny. Ahahahahahaha!

 

there are always deer around here.....

(austin, texas)

i almost hit one on hwy 71 last night, I had just turned onto the road, so I was not going very fast and was able to stop.

the deer in my neighborhood are even dumber, I just whiz right past them, without slowing down, they don't even bat an eyelash. as long as they are not standing in the road, they are not a problem.

my dad was driving at night once, and a deer ran into him. There was a big dent in the side on his car where the deer hit...

 

its the LAST thing i was looking for in the metro atlanta area on a busy road. If it had stood still i would have been fine.... but instead just as i was passing it... it tried to jump my car and met the windshield.. from what i can see.... i need a new front bumper, new hood, front windshield, passenger window, headlight, and dings taken out of my passenger door.

 

Man I HOPE he was plotting that!!!

 

if you said tht your head light was ushed into your hood.. you are probablly going to need to the support brackets underneath as well. the only way to tell is to pop the hood. Easily over $1000 with all of the stuff you have listed...thank god for insurance.

 

damn ryan i didnt know it was that bad. keep us updated. how are things now?

 

went to state farm and got the estimate today.... total of $3700 in damages.... they are giving me a new hood, bumper, headlight, windshield, refinishing the passenger door, passenger window, the top of the car, front quarterpanel, and new clear corners .... i took some pics ill be able to show you sunday night.

 

idea

if you can just get the $ for the stuff and not the parts, maybe a front end conversion could be done? just an idea, i don't know if u like it or not..

 

i thought about that.... but there is enough damage that needs to be fixed that there wouldnt be enough money left over to do something like this.... if i didnt have a body kit then i could buy one and not get somethings painted but i alreaady do.... so im taking the extra money and getting the whole car painted. Id rather have perfect flawless paint :cough: MING :cough: than something really crazy.

 

you guys should get deer whistles. i have them. best $5 i spent on my car.

 

Except everyone swears they don't work.

Stereodude

 

DDaaaaMMMMnnnnn!!!!!!!!! thats a lotta damage. look at the bright side, new paint, new clear corners, new hood(carbon fiber?) new bumper , hell thats pretty much half the car. just in time for the show season.

 

what happened to the deer?

you should throw him the trunk and take him home and eat him

 

I almost hit a deer the other night. Going down a country road speed limit is 50.....no street lights and just woods around. I come around a corner and there is this deer just standing in the middle of my land looking around......I hit the brakes and then he took off.......I might have hit him if he didn't run off.

Im sure hitting a deer going 50mph wouldn't have been fun

Glad to hear your ok

 

your land? You're that rich?!

 

I have them, and swear by them.

 

Time for a 5th gen with ABS?

 

He said it was a "country road"...
-Cyrus

 

yeah... ABS is about the only option my car doesnt have

 

I have ABS on my 97SE and I love it, saved me last night when a Camaro spun a 180 in the road and into my lane, nailed the brakes and turned and no sliding I love it

 

wish i had abs too, i use to have an altima and it had the abs option. worked wonders. i dont see how i have made it this long with out it.

 

ryan i dont know if you remeber Tori- the guy with the third gen- he hit a deer this weekend, his car pretty toast, sounds like the same kinda damage. must be the season.
