    Deer strike @ highway speed (travelling on 395 on 6/29). I managed to pull an evasive maneuver but the damn thing managed to bash up my right side--busted bumper, bent supports, fucked fender and even the passenger mirror glass is broken. Probably gonna just do the fender and plate up the front. The f'ing projectors were only a couple months old too!

    I hate those things. Did you at least keep it? Freezer full of venison is a small consolation but it's a tasty one.

    I figure my evasive move saved me from have air bag deployment which is usually a total in insurance land

    I wish--it was 0510 and I was trying to get to work then onto Winslow Maine afterwards--too much on my plate to worry about processing that thing

    That's one of those where you're like "thank god my airbag didn't go off; that would have totaled my truck" and then you start looking at what it'll cost to fix the damage and you're like "damn you, reflexes!"

    Bummer. I didn't keep this guy either, but should have. Hadn't even made my first payment on the van when I hit him on I-93 up in NH.

    I actually felt kinda like Mario Andretti for a few seconds after because the impact sent me fish tailing towards the median and I held it until it was fully recovered and in the breakdown lane, then I looked at everything I needed to fix......

    Same here. Maybe 5 years ago I went to get ahaircut and the price went up to like $18. Finally I was like man all you do is throw the #1 guard on and buzz my head, so I went and got a wahl hair trimmer for $30 at CVS and been doing it myself ever since. Ain't nobody got time fo haircuts

    You can bet your butt I kept the deer that ruined the front end on my '96 Nissan Hardbody when I hit it. Called the police to have them come out and tag it, and when they didn't show up I loaded him into the truck and drove to the station myself. Gutted him out under the porch light at 11:30 at night, haha!

    I've seen an amazing amount of roadkill deer this year in my travels. Virtually no winter loss. I've hit three in my life including one on a motorcycle that put me in a hospital bed for 3 days. Goddamn forest rats.

    Easy winter means there's more of the hoof rats running around. Hopefully there's still some left come hunting season this year.
