And the winner is.....Good thing I just washed and waxed her on Sunday....double

the file attachment doesnt seem to work for melets try this again

i'll try this the url way..

try photobucket, it's free

still nothing??? Hmmm... I guess that's what happens when you let a deer use a camera or the internet.

until I see proof otherwise... I say the deer won!

just right click the attachment in my 3:28pm post and hit "view image". worked for me anyways....

Link is to a web page, so you can't load in a web page via the IMG tagsThe image is 2240 x 1680, pretty big loading into a web browser, but the file size of the image I downloaded from http://community.webshots.com/...PyeWU was only about 424 KB, so it should have been uploadable.Anyway, here is an 800x600 version of the poor vibe, for the big version follow the link http://community.webshots.com/...PyeWUouch!

Tis the season, a guy at work hit one a few days ago. At least one a day hit on the road from here to work this time of the year, a 3 mile stretch.

That is a sad sight. It is the same color as mine, so it is scary too. I never want to see my car like that.On a lighter note, did you have venison for dinner?

OUCH ! I hope I never hit bigfoot that would total my vibe

accident happened on the way home from a (removed) dale concert ( 12:30 am ) - not really dinner time. i'll find out about the repair estimate tomorrow sometime.i doubt the vibe will ever run as smooth again. in the meantime i'm rollin in a granny-mobile buick century...

How fast were going when you hit it? It doesn't look like it went thru the windsield. Lucky!

cruise was on 50mph until the deer ( and I ) saw each other. there's about 75 feet of tire tracks on the road. i figure maybe 40 mph at the time of impact. windshield only has a couple blood stains.

This explains what happened to the deer...and OUCH, sorry to see a fellow Viber in that shape.

I hate deer...your baby has my sympathy

OUCH, sorry to hear about your baby, that must have been a big deer. Hope she gets fixed soon.

ouch is right. i know the feeling:http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...35905after this hit, i started having electrical problems...mainly due to the fact that the battery shattered and sprayed all through the engine bay. many of the wires were eroding...

and the results are in PA wins (or in this case loses) with the# of deer hits http://money.cnn.com/2005/11/0...n=yes

Next time use a rifle....The deer are breeding like rabbits around here and they're not scared of cars.Time to pull out the winter beater car and go hunting:)Good luck with the insurance company.Andrew

Ouch! Just be thankful the blood stains were from the deer, and not the guy in the driver's seat! Glad you are ok sorry to hear about the poor Vibe!

Heads up for all you PA drivers.http://money.cnn.com/2005/11/0...n=yes

estimate is in - somewhere between 4400-4500 clams. insurance has 100 deductable.

wow, that's a big chunk of change, glad you have insurance. Hope your rates don't go up as a result, don't think they should for a deer, and it would be worth it rather than to have to spend that much out of pocket to get the car fixed. A good shop should be able to fix it good as new.How long will it take to get it fixed, and what are you driving in the meantime?

my country a** wife asks " did you take it home with you and eat it?"

Quote, originally posted by mcgusto82 »my country a** wife asks " did you take it home with you and eat it?"In NY state your entitled to half the meat in such accidents. The other half is donated.

interestingly, i hit the deer in NY state...and the police officer asked me where I hit it so that he could go collect the meat....i don't know if he donated any of it though.

i told my wife. "if you EVER put a dead deer on the car.... "

Can you eat road kill deer ? I thought if the spleen has ruptured that the meat was no good. Then again, last year a guy in my area had a pickup with about 5 bambi's off the side of the road.

It depends on how long the deer has been dead. Once it starts to bloat it is not good. At least I wouldn't eat a bloated deer.
