4 deer ran out in front of me tonight when I was going about 50 mph on a country road. I slammed on the brakes and clipped the last one. He fell to the ground but got up and ran away. The Celica, believe it or not, was not damaged at all. There were three teenagers walking along side the road right where it happened and the whole incident freaked them out pretty bad as I was within about 30 feet of them when my car came to a complete stop after a very long loud skid. It was harrowing but luckily, all I have to show for it is some deer hair on my bumper.

i cant even imagine hitting something live like that! glad you, the celica, the teenagers & the deer are ok
Hey im glad your alright, must have been scurry. Everyday on my way home from my one friend's house, deer ALWAYS run in front of my car! so im like wtf, they prolly don't want me to speed.
scary!! thats happened to me on the freeway on 53. Sadly, the deer did not get back up... :-(
glad to hear everything is ok though. When i first read the topic, i was in fear that your front would be in ruin
Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
dang man, cool you maid it out ok, and the celica was not damaged, probably cliped the dears legs, sad for the dear but what can ya do.
Glad to hear u and the Celi are ok Jay that had to be very scary

You are lucky man. I did the same thing two months ago. Four or five deer ran out in front of me and i cliped the last one going about 25 mph. it messed up my right side finder, bumper, low and high beam housing. lucky my insurance covered everything for a co-pay of $100
7a-fte in progressstill need a manifold, fuel pump, greddy e-manage, and oil lines / water lines
Thanks folks. I was extremely lucky. Keep your eyes open on the road.

you are just trying to get out of getting your a$$ handed to you at the meet in May
Dustin, thats some pretty big smack talk there. Do I have to remind you that even if you were able to harness the power from both your Celica engines in one car that you would still be trying to catch up with me?

we dont have to worry about deer, we have a$$holes that just walk in front of your car and expect you to stop.

that pic was taken after we pulled a 5s a few weeks ago. Maybe I will just put that 5s in the hatch and have some crazy AWD beast. You just wait Mr. Greening...one day...one day...
