Well, on my way home from meeting taino64 who was picking up my nano (thanks by the way), I managed to kill one of Santa's Reindeer with my wife's car! Came running across full speed and met the car at 45 MPH. Totaled the car. Funny thing was the deer was "mysteriously" missing 20 minutes later when the cop checked the spot. Your welcome to whomever is having deer nuggets on my account.:D At least the insurance agent enjoyed my off color humor when she asked me what color my car was and I replied with, "white with red racing stripes!"
 
as long as you are ok. i had a funny one happen to me 6 yrs ago. i was delivering a 55 gallon tank to a friend when i lived in nebraska and here come a deer out of no where. i slammed on the brakes and just missed her. let off of the brakes and hit baby bambi. it slid on its side for 30 feet, legs flipped over once and it got up shook his head and bounced off into the night.

but i am glad that your sense of humor was intact. merry christmas. :)
 
indydog1 - luckily it was just me in the car and not my family - Bambi killer! :)

you think the deer lived or someone is making roadkill BBQ tonight?

Oh, im pretty sure it is dinner. At least 1/3 of it's brain is still residing on my windshield and in the passenger seat.:o
 
Justin thanks for the aquapod it is very nice. I am so sorry to hear about Santa's reindeer. Hope you are ok.
 
taino64 - no worries. Glad you can use it. I just have a stiff neck from ducking under the steering wheel - could be worse.

Was this from the ride over to his house? :confused:

If I were you I'd spring for the tilt steering wheel on your next vehicle purchase... it will give you more head room. ;)


P.S. Glad you didn't get hurt

It was probably the cop called out one of his buddies to pick it up and they'll split the meat. I know a couple of cops that used to do this all the time.

Glad to hear you're alright deer can be pretty deadly when you hit em
 
Bummer on the car ... do you get a new unscratched windshield??? ;-)

That is the only reason I didn't put the car in reverse and run over the deer again - technically I should be thanking her, R.I.P.
