Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004Damn deer(OT)
Got this E-mail from Step-Daughter Crystal This morning.Her Hubby(and my buddy)Rauly Just got a almost new car and had it all fixed up and ready for winter,and he really liked it too. Rauly smashed up the car this morning. Hit a great big buck. The air bag went off and the front end is all smashed to F*!#K the rad and the fan are crammed against the motor, the passenger door won't open (hopefully because the panel is pushed back and not a bent frame), hood is all bent up and torn, headlights are smashed out (but still work). 4am this morning. He drove it home but his fluids were spewing every where. About a mile from home. He seems to be ok, had his seat belt on. Hes going to video it. You won't believe the mess. He worked overtime and just got off at 3am,trying to get a little ahead... Deer Season ought to be 300 days long with a daily bag limit of 8!

[quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > - Any animal collision (whether you hit it or it hits you) is covered under comprehensive, which is not considered "chargeable" by most companies. What you DON'T want to do is swerve to miss the animal and hit a tree or roll the car. Besides causing more damage and injuries, that makes it a collision and an "at fault" accident. When in doubt, hang on and mow it down. Interesting trivia question at the next water cooler gathering: What wild animal causes more deaths and injuries every year in the US than all other species combined? Deer.
