Hit a damn deer - Page 2

Haven't hit a deer yet, but have come close about a million times on rally weekends. Tagged a huge racoon one time though. Cracked the brand new paint on the corner of the front bumper. Folded my foglight up too. Rolled him into the ditch, he shook his head, flipped me the bird and went on his merry way. I wanted to find him and torture him but it was 3am and I wanted to get back to the hotel.

There was a big debate on swerving to avoid deer and some insurance companies even state in their contracts that if you swerve to miss a deer and still smash up your car then you will not be covered. Dont really know how they would be able to tell unless they went to the scene but it is definatly not a good idea to swerve for deer.

Couple of years ago a guy that I went to school with was driving down the road with his mom and the swerved to miss some birds and ended up getting into a big accident and killing his mother. Just for birds. That would kinda suck to live with for the rest of your life.

Well before the deer the worse I hit was like 7 baby racoons with my zx2. Really fucked up my front bumper the little bastards. The only good thing out of it was my car was really droped on GC's so those suckers got dragged like 30 feet under my car. I hope the death was really slow.
