|

So, Ason went to WashPA tonight and he "got" his first deer on the way! No one was hurt, so that's a very good thing, and the car is driveable, but now this poor college kid has to put out some unexpected bucks because of a buck. _________________ -amom

Sorry to hear that. Glad that everybody's OK. Coming home from an Oscars party Sunday night, I had to slam on the brakes right in the middle of Wolfdale to avoid hitting a young deer (notice I didn't say young buck) that jumped out into the middle of the road. You try to be constantly vigilant about watching the sides of the road, especially when you live in the country, but sometimes there's not a damn thing you can do. _________________

There was a letter to the editor recently from some city-slicker complaining about people in these parts driving down the middle of the country roads. This is why! Seriously, as often as my whole family travels these roads, I'm amazed this is the only direct encounter we have had with large wildlife.
I took a look at the car this morning and the dent is the driver's side...not sure yet which side of the road the deer took a dare from. A foot either way could have been massive damage or no damage. Funny how things work out. It's not as bad as I originally thought, but to Ason, it's huge! Looks like someone threw a basketball really hard at the hood above the headlight. Free, only liability insurance on his car so all out of pocket. _________________ -amom

If it were me, if it didn't affect the driving of the car, I'd just let it go. It shows the car has "character." And if anybody asked me about the big dent, I'd tell them, "That's the mark left by the last guy who asked me too many questions." _________________

Glad everyone is all right. My mom used to fall for the "got hit by a deer" excuse . I'm with Brant. I wouldn't pay for something cosmetic to the body. If it drives, thats all that matters. Then again, I'm not looking to impress the fine young ladies at school.... I swear, I'm not! _________________

Agreed. Body work isn't important to the function or safety of the car. Safe the money for something more important. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

I haven't washed my truck since I bought it... When I trade it in, I plan on scraping all the character off with a debit card to make hot chocolate _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

OK, it's unanimous...the dent adds character, he should leave it there. Thanks! _________________ -amom

Think of it this way: the kinds of girls you attract by having a nice car aren't the kind you take home to mom anyway. Any girl he starts dating now is a keeper. _________________ The end is nigh! OR forums die APRIL 1. Don't lose contact! Join the forums at bogsource.com now! |

Or, you get a chick whose butt fits nicely in the dent so you can "take it outside"

The good news is he didn't swerve to miss the deer and either hit a tree or run off the road and flip over. Smart kid! |
