Shout out to all. New to the site. Thought I'd share my experience.

I bought my XB after totaling my truck. I saw the XB at a car show and loved it. I had planned on paying off my truck, then buying the XB, but the gods did not see it that way. So the truck was totaled this summer and the XB is now mine.

So I'm loving my ride and have just showed it off to relatives in PA. over Thanksgiving. I'm on my way home at 5:30 in the morning cruising at about 75 on the turnpike behind a semi and a sedan. Next thing I know lots of "somethings" are flying at me from behind the semi and other car. My XB gets nailed with "whatever" and I also chunked over stuff on the roadway. I pull over along with the sedan and semi to find out they had just blasted through a herd of deer. Two other cars behind us also had to stop from the damage. The trooper showed up and blocked the road for a while. I looked at my XB and it was covered in blood, hair and guts. The underside was also a mess of hair and guts. After looking the car over, it appeared to be drivable. The semi and I were the only ones to drive away. The trooper advised me of the nearest car wash. I had my car washed several times, scraped the cooked deer off the bottem of my car (smell) , and found just a crack in my bumper and a small piece of the grill missing.

I don't know of any crash tests, but as I see it

XB ~ 1
DEER ~ 0

Jerkey anyone?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Nice Job!!! Too bad my xb didnt do as well in crash test.... What were you thinking when you had all this "stuff" hitting your car?

I was thinking AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It was dark and the semi blocked me from seeing what was up ahead anyway. Needless to say, I don't follow that closely anymore

Eeew, I'd cry if I got guts all over any of my cars.

Man, if you've ever seen a semi hit a deer - They just explode!!

Just be glad that you didn't plow through the herd. Deer are unholy when it comes to damaging a car.

LATER

And you said the semi went through a HERD of Deer!!! Man there must of been ____ everywhere! Werent you wondering why you were having to use your windshield wipers to get blood off your windows? I Would be freaking out about something or another! Like the semi driver just ran over a pack of people from Dawn of the Dead or one of those freaky ___ movies

I brake for Horror movies

Yowza. I can see the new trend in graphics from here: blood, guts, and hair in vinyl and paint.

You're lucky! If you would've hit the deer directly it would've been .

Deer = 1
xb = done

"Damn it....someones guts are all over the nose cone ".... blood splatterd all over the plexi nose

I had a low speed impact with a deer.

A friend of mine had a similar situation with his truck and a flock of geese. He killed about 7 geese on his way to school our Junior year of H.S. Busted the hell out of his truck.
