Last night on 694 I encountered a suicidal deer. This thing was easily 200 plus pounds. When I hit him it actually spun me around in the middle of the freeway. Its a good thing the box is light, I was able to push it onto the shoulder. All this after I had my custom exhaust done on tuesday and got my 17x7 motegis on wednesday. By the way the wheels are fine and may be for sale. The are on Falken ziex tires. PM me with offers if anyone is interested.

 

Very, very sorry to hear.
Any info on if it is fixable or...gulp, totalled.
Your the third guy in MN that has damaged his box. Hopefully this isn't a reoccuring theme.
Later,
Rich

 

I'm sorry to hear that.

Got photos?

 

Not enough deer hunters in this country...
Sorry to hear about that.
if its totaled I'm interested in the exhaust.

 

If its totalled i would like to by the head liner out of it if possible lmk thanks

 

So sad to hear. It's seems that your box is gathering vultures though..........

 

DOWN WITH THE DEER!!!

I almost hit one 2 weeks ago..stupid deer.

 

Sorry for your loss though~~ What are you planning to do afterward?

 

I just heard back from my body guy. IT'S NOT TOTALLED! I'm looking at about 5 grand though, thank god for insurance. I will post pics of the damage which is all cosmetic. The only other damage is a snapped motor mount. I do have 1 question hopefully someone can answer. Why didnt my airbags go off? I was doing at least 70 and had no chance to slow down. Any info would be cool. Thanks for the sympahty but we'll be back. Bigger, faster stronger. Might even be a good excuse to add a body kit.

 

It was just before the exit to highway 61, I was headed east so I think it was trying to get back into the wildlife preserve. And unfortunatly he was dead because I would have relished in watching the trooper shoot him.

 

Mmmm... venison. I'm Glad to hear your car is going to be ok.
as far as your airbag, I don't know anything about them. The sensors usually are sensitive to a **g-force equal to that of a** 15mph crash into a brick wall
maybe the deer didn't interrupt your momentum enough, or the rotation of the car messed up the sensor. ( i think its directional)
or some combination of the two?

 

So sorry to hear about your box.

Did the deer hit your bumper? There are very specific sensors for the airbags, and if it hit the side of your car, or up on the hood, you may not have triggered a sensor.

I am glad to hear that your car is not totalled, and that you are okay.

 

Thanks. It did hit dead center but most of the damage was to the upper part of the bumper and hood so that could be the reason for no airbags. Thanks again and hopefully I can get er back on the road soon and actually get it to an event and show it off.

 

Air bags take a specific amount of g force to deploy. You must not of reached that point. Hope everything turns out OK for you

 

OMG dude, for the 7th time...sorry bout your box.

George ya gotta stop deleting my posts. You have gone too far. If you think this is a personal attack then you grew up in a waaaaaayy sheltered home.

 

SORRY TO HERE BUT THE BOX WILL NEVER BE THE SAME HAVE IT WRITTEN OFF IT WILL SAVE YOU TROUBLES DOWN THE ROAD

 

Thanks bro. I don't even know George but he does seem a little soft. Thanks again for the sympathy and my baby comes home tomorrow. Maybe now I can come to a meet. LIGHTEN UP GEORGIEBOY, you take your job way too seriously.

 

Be glad your airbags didn't deploy. Obviously they weren't needed and are quite expensive to replace...

 

What makes you say that? Turn off the caps too.

 

watch out for deer when i drive to california on july 14th...since i'm leaving around 8:00 pm...NOTED!
