What does Jeremy's car look like after meeting a deer at 70 mph?
Permalink  

A little something like the photo below

That sucker appeared directly in front of me from outta nowhere on a very dark stretch of southbound I-94 this morning. I hit him at full speed, 70 mph. His head actually flung around and smashed out the rear passenger side window.

Looks like the little Geo Prizm has seen it's final mile

On another note, the deer was NOT in a designated deer crossing area. I'm considering suing the family in civil court. I hear they have big BUCKS! GET IT! BUCKS!!! CUS THEY'RE DEER!!!!

Aaaah, don't mind me. If I don't laugh I'm gonna start crying

Wow, that really stinks, JR. He did a LOT of damage.

I guess you can be happy that he didn't end up in the front seat with you.

You should call Woo . . . her hubby's been looking for a deer for days.

Oh man.  Poor deer.  Poor Riggs.  I feel for you, having lost my beautiful car recently.

Oh Deer! Sorry man! Do you have insurance? That really sucks!


Why is it the insurance companies have mascots like the Gecko and a duck? It's almost a slap in the face like if you hit anything larger than us we won't cover it.

hey is the damage merely cosmetic?? IF we were to smash down that hood back into near shape & you get the window replaced, is the car operable? oh have the hood replaced?

That would be funny to use a deer as an insurance mascot. Very appropriate.

Even worse, given the time of year it is, that deer's family will never have a normal Thanksgiving again. Thanksgiving will always remind them of this day.

You know guys, actually I can't believe how little impact I felt. I hit it straight on, so I really braced for a jolt, but it wasn't bad.

JD, the car is totaled though, the fan was all smooshed in and it was smoking. Fluids were dripping, it was pretty ugly under the hood.

A four cylinder car with nearly 150,000 miles on it, I think it's toast.

I NEVER SAW HIS HEAD!!! All I remember is a big huge brown body in front of the car.

Here's a better shot of the hood damage...

my niece hit a deer once.  well, actually she ran over a deer and it got stuck under her bravada, and she could hear it squawling and kicking.  she had nightmares over it for a while.

Oh man I am sorry JR! I have been having little panic flashes while driving that I was gonna hit a deer. Weird! I wonder if it was connected to you?
Glad you are ok!

Have you slept yet? If not, you might want to take a few advil before you go to bed. You may not feel it now, but you may be sore in the morning. That car is toast!

Thanks guys.

You're right Mz, I'm already starting to feel it a little I think

I just got done handing the car over to the scrapyard. The estimate was 120% of it's Blue Book value.

I'm down to being a one-car dude again

Ah well. Atleast I'm gonna save a lot on my car insurance!

Glad you are OK, but on a lighter note...


Can you imagine what the story the Deer is telling his friends and family....


Hey mom, I was trying to cross this road and some guy was speeding, so I stepped out into the middle of the road.....

I don't speed SG. I mean, I do, but so little that I haven't been pulled over in 18 years!

It was a 65 MPH area and I was doing 70. Cops don't give me a second look at that speed and I'm usually passed by like I'm standing still.

Nope, that deer was just too slow

Hi Pip.

I've gotten pretty stiff over the last few hours now, my neck, shoulders and back are all getting tight, but I'm sure that'll pass, I just took some Ibuprofin.

The deer couldn't have been so lucky, I'm sure he's dead
