Deer strike w/pics

Team Ford · Nov 6, 2008

So I'm coming back from dropping off some games to a friend that lives out in the country doing the speed limit 45mph as I just went by a state trooper theres an oncoming suv so my vision is ahead and to my shoulder so his lights dont blind me when my peripheral catches fast movement coming from the drivers door so i look quick and see the deer hit right where the GT emblem is and his shoulder takes my mirror off as his face bounces off the windshield which spins his body and puts a nice dent in the door and takes the sidescoop off with his foot and dents the rear quarter before turning around and running back into the woods.

damnit!

DAMN! I'd be sooooo pissed off

Team Ford · Nov 6, 2008

..oh yea and the whole reason for me driving out there was to cool off after a fight with the gf.

everything comes in three's so im kinda nervous right now

Definately sucks. Same thing happened to me in the spring. Ran out from the woods and slammed into my front fender and ended up running off as well. Tough buggers. I was able to get it 98% fixed with dentless repair and also bought a fender to fix if I'm not ultimately happy with the 98%er job. Hope your not too shaken and hope you get it fixed up to your satisfaction. If you go through insurance, make sure you don't clean it up too much. My insurance person looked for visible evidence that it was a deer (deer hair found on car) and it went through comprehension because of it being an animal that caused the accident. Good luck with the fix.

I'd be the opposite, i'd hope his a$$ got nailed by a semi or something.
Oh god here comes PETA

That is true, Those things can actually total cars when hit right. Your lucky. It sucks, but it could have been much worse.

The sick thing is, I once worked with a guy who aimed for the critters with his redneck lifted Z71! He would litteraly shout out the window "SOOOUUIIIIII". He is from Arkansas, Needless to say we didn't hang out much.

This is the place I used. I picked up the part from them, but I believe they ship if they have your parts as I believe your not anywhere near.

I'd say your buddy was lucky. A female classmate of my wife wasn't so lucky. She was riding her Harley one night when she hit what investigators thought was a deer. She wasn't wearing a helmet and died on the road. She was found sometime after the accident. They found her bike with what appeared to be fur from a deer. Thank god your buddy was wearing a helmet. I always wore one when I owned my bike. Glad you wern't hurt TF. Pearl02.

Check out Craigslist for mustang parts... I live in Atlanta and there is always something listed under auto parts.

You should have fallowed the blood trail, field dressed the bugger in a tree and got some sausage and backstrap out of it. Maybe I just like venison too much.

amen bro!!! venison is the cats meow. now if you decide to scrape the car i will take those wheels off your hands.

Sorry about what happened with your car and the stupid deer. I know how you feel and just want to kill the deer. I was in a accident with a deer on my motorcycle two years ago. The deer ran out and nothing I could do and the next thing I know I was on the ground and the deer got up and ran off and man was I pissed I wish the deer would have been dead. Denfinately check craigslist for parts. Or check a Ford salvage yard. I hope you get your mustang as good as new.
