there are deer down in NC? thats where i am going to be moving.

Ive had a run in with a deer in my GT, plowed right into the side of my car

i was hoping to get out of New York and never have to deal with them again


OP, you should be glad you are OK. that sounded like it was a pretty serious accident, especially if you dont remember much of it.

Good to hear you're ok be careful.

There are deer in all 48 contiguous states.

i guess what i really was trying to say was, escape the over population of deer we have in NY to decrease the odds of this **** happening to me again.

but i guess that can be the same everywhere else.

Man Sooo many deer plus mustang combo threads (myself included). I'm beginning to wonder if they love the sound of a Mustang GT's V-8. Hope you feel better quick and get either your baby back or into an even better one. Try and keep your head up.

there are a TON of deer down here.

what part of NC are you moving to?

 

[LaserSVT]

Like other said, glad you are ok. I know you are prolly thinking who gives a ****, my car is gone! When I lost a Mustang years ago it was a pretty serious accident and I came out unscratched. I wished for a broken arm or something so I wouldn't just keep thinking about losing the Stang

its not that i dont remember it was very very fast... there was a tree directly on the edge of the road, as soon as i saw the deer, i jerked the wheel(oops) and immediatley the airbag was going off..
i saw the deer and withing a second of seeing him, the airbag was off... it was fast... ill try to get some pics of the car soon

sweet. make sure to get in touch with me when you make it down here. i'm about 40 min south of raleigh. the street scene here is wide open and theres a ton of fast cars around!

there will be cruise ins starting in a couple of weeks with some pretty good action going down.

go ahead and start checking out
HorsepowerJunkies.com
everyone in the raleigh/durham area is on there. i'm QuickSilver74 on that board

 

[bwahl602]

KBB retails my gt at 11,500... if i get anywhere near that from the insurance company ill be happy... hoping for 10k

im pretty sure at this point that im gonna do whatever it takes to get a hold of a mach... the better motor, appearance, brakes and specifically interior over the gt is easily worth the 3k-4k price difference

plus im finding it impossible to locate another silver gt 5spd in my area... so the fact tht the mach didnt come in silver is irrelivant

ill keep u guys updated

There is definetly an overpopulation of deer in NC especially where I live. I don't drive over 45 on back roads at night becuse you have to slam on brakes about every other mile. Seriously it sucks. Really sucks on a bike.
