I almost hit a deer...Instead I hit a tree??
First off I want to thank God I am alive right now. It happened on a 55mph two lane highway. It could have been a lot worse though, a deer jumped out in front of me, close to the shoulder, on a tight blind turn, long skidding story short I ended up straight into a turn sign and into a tree. My baby is all messed up and now I have to wait til tommorow to call the insurance guy
.




I made a rough list of parts needed to be replaced:
-Front bumper
-Plastic Under Oilpan
-Plastic Driver's Side Fender Lining
-Drivers Side Fender
-Driver's Door Skin
-Driver's Mirror
-Mirror Post
-Driver's Sideskirt
-Driver's Rear Quarter Panel
-Front wheel

It was one of those quickly thought decisions, where you think it would be better at the time, but look back and wonder.... would a 12 point buck to the windshield at about 50mph really be that healthy?

I have always been advised to hit the deer. A truck driver last week drove into a house avoiding a deer. With our cars I would expect the animal would go up and over pretty easily.
