Morning all. Tired and stressed this morning. Didn’t get much sleep due to our daughter calling at 11:30 pm last night saying she was in just another accident with her brand new car she’s had for exactly 1 week and 6 weeks from when her other car was totaled! Thankfully she is ok but UGH!! Going home for work and a deer ran out in front of her. She swerved to miss it and jumped the curb and then back to the middle of the road. No other cars involved but her front tires is all jacked up and flat rear tire. Not drivable and had to call tow truck. Tow truck took it to a repair shop he knows of. (Not living there we had no idea where to take it otherwise. Waiting to hear what the damages are.

Glad she is ok!!!! ALWAYS AIM FOR THE DEER. Comp vs collision claim. Plus 50/50 deer will be gone by the time you get there.
Psa it's rut season so they are out and the males are being really stupid.

Yeah, that’s what we told her too but, being an animal science major and planning on going to vet school she said no, I can’t hit an animal. If it was a person that jumped in front of her she wouldn’t have a problem hitting them :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: jk. Hopefully she learned that lesson now in case it ever happens again.

Tifney checked out good at cardio doc, no intended stents ,check back in 6 mo... :)
Great news!!

Got quote to fix car, $2880. Going to just pay out of our pocket or insurance will drop us like a hot potato with two accidents in 6 weeks. Even though the first one was not her fault but since we went through our insurance to let them deal with it it will still be a claim against us.

See, this is why I drive a monster truck. Deer usually don't do anything unless it's a biggin'. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Few years ago I went out for a 2am shift and spooked a buck in the yard - it charged me to the xterra, then buggered off without hitting it once I got in and slammed the door. Never happened again, never saw another in the area
