Fanta Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/Qx8ep76.jpg Not bad at all considering - I saw the first deer about 30ft ahead and had already started to brake expecting the second deer. Honestly, I didn't even see it coming out between the trees in the median, and more like it hit me instead of me it Was a fairly slow speed since I came to a stop right by where the deer landed. Got to watch the cop double tap it to put it out of it's misery before the county hauled it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPGorBOOST Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Glad to see you're okay and it wasn't in your SQ! Was there any body damage to your car? I would've bagged that Deer in a heartbeat! The cop did the right thing. Dinner Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The one that ran into Pam last year killed itself. Only 3500 damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, right where the fender meets the door there's a dent on both. Also the side view mirror was ripped out. I'm not sure if the A-pillar sustained any damage at all from the impact, or the hard top assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hope you have comprehensive insurance, not considered a collision for some stupid reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I do, but, if that A-pillar is damaged and results in a totaled out Miata, I won't lie - I'm likely going to just take a break from the car scene for a good long while. It's too discouraging for me to have this stuff happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) That sucks man, I have been there. I pasted one with my Tacoma about 3 years ago running 60ish. Did about $5k in damage to my truck. I hope you get this squared away without too much more headache. Chin up homie, don't get discouraged, it's part of life. You will bounce back. Look on the bright side, You still have a beautiful SQ to drive. BC_99 edit: Had to tell ya, that monkey dancing in your sig. cracks me up every time I see it.

Fanta Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Haha - there was the other fellow who had something loose on his suspension and knew about it, took a corner and basically went off road and rolled as well. Well, car is already in the shop. Initial look over seems minimal damage was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Glad it's not that bad and your ok. Deer suck. I've hit 6 in my driving career, two at once one time, and two have ran into me! I don't hunt, but have bagged my share. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
