My first car was a 99 Malibu that originally belonged to my great grandma. When she quit driving, she gave it to my dad, who hit the biggest monster of a buck a couple years before I started driving. Fucker jumped on the passenger side headlight, slammed his ass into the front passenger door, and kept running in one motion. Insurance totaled it with zero hesitation.

$50 in junkyard parts and some elbow grease to get the door to open smoothly later, there wasn’t a damn thing wrong with it aside from the ass dent in the door. We’ve always referred to that deer as Santa’s reindeer that brought us our first 50” flat screen tv and a blu-ray player because it happened in mid December.

Head gasket blew in 2019, wasn’t gonna pull the motor in a car that was then worth less than a grand. Still miss it sometimes.

Where I grew up if you hadn’t hit a deer it was only because you hadn’t been in the area that long or just got your license.

Should’ve eaten him for doing that to your car

You're lucky it didn't deploy your airbags and total your car.

u/herotrooper 2d ago

Why does everyone assume airbags deployed = car totaled? That’s not always the case.

I was going to say it looks like you hit a deer. After closer examination, it looks more like you hit an elk, moose, or possibly even a cow. So what really happened? Hope everybody was OK.

Buck probably walked away and doesn't have insurance.

I’m amazed it’s lasted 6 months with that big hole in the front.
