Not tryign to be an azzhole but... Shyt like this wouldn't be happening if we control how many people come into this country and welfare hoes from having babies. These deer are losing their place to live cuz people r fvcking idiots and live extremely selfish lives.
I'm glad ur ok op and I'm really sorry about your ride. But if that deer is not getting eaten? I feel sorry for the deer. They are living beings and deserve to live as well. You have insurance. You're alive. A deer is dead and he's not even going to
feed some families.
Now the forum is ranting on how they hate deer. Another option would have been instead of trying to swerve at 45mph, using those all powerful brakes to stop would have better potentially avoided that situation. Our brakes from 45mph stop our cars in a few negligable feet. Trying to swerve any type of potential sudden accident is the WRONG move. BRAKING is the way to go when moving objects are in front of you. Especially from the broadside. You double your chances by avoiding the impact. Not guaranteed of course. But braking is the better option when compared to the swerve.

But again... more important is that your personal being is safe.

I needed a good laugh. :icon14::icon14:

Funny, I thought the same thing as you when I first read that post, and I'm not tired or slightly drunk :)

Glad you and your girlfriend are OK and the car is getting fixed quick!

WTF??? :icon14:

Did you even read this in the OP (emphasis added):

And what does this have to do with immigration or "welfare hoes" having babies? :facepalm:

Lol... let me explain that... I guess that sounds pretty random. What it is that we keep building city after city after city, reducing our natural forests etc, that now these wild animals run through the city through lack of a place to live. This country is just overpopulated due to open, borders, loose immigration policies for european countries and people who opt to keep having babies. This is the back lash of having to build more cities at a high pace andthus reducing a home for our wildlife.
I see all kinds of shyt here in the city. Bobcats, deer, wolves, poisonous snakes, etc... things that we would never see in a city. Its due to all these friggin companies buildin communities and businesses.

I know he was broad sided, but what I'm sayin is in the time it took to swerve, braking would have probably saved him more. I'm not saying it being mean. Just as an advice. I was in pretty much in the same situation back home. But I was a passenger. We braked hard... we still hit the deer. He popped back up though. If we would have swerved? We would have had to hope the deer would brake short and move around. Braking is just usually the better option. In his case he might have hit the deer with his front bumper or missing him completely.

What the hell is this?

Of course I used the brakes. I downshifted, braked and turned hard right to attempt to avoid the impact and the deer struck my left front fender dead on. You can pretty clearly see where the point of impact was from the pictures. It drilled my front left fender/wheel well, made a halfassed attempt to jump at the last second (destroying my windshield) then dragged down the side of the car ruining the door panel. ripping off the mirror and dinging the rear quarterpanel

Because the deer literally came charging from off the road to the left (and wasn't already in front of me), I didn't see it until it was on top of me which cost me reaction time. I had maybe a second or two tops to react and I did the best I could to protect the vehicle, myself and my passenger. All things considered, I think I did a pretty good job.

A direct hit to the engine bay or say...having the deer end up in my lap would have been a disaster.

You are correct that you do not swerve to avoid an animal that is in front of you. This deer wasn't standing in the path of the car so that advice doesn't apply here.

Next time I'm hanging out in the projects, I'll pour a lil out for my poisonous snake homies though.

Watch out..he will Pm you like he did me, to wonder what's up...

I wouldn't answer..Why would I...

Glad to see that I wasn't the only one that thought that post was Insane..

You are the Deer Hunter, and the Deer's name was Kamikaze...:tiphat:

lol thats funny. You might want to watch out for that one bird that was living in that one tree a couple blocks away from your house now. When they cut it down to build a swingset for that one school he found refuge on a telephone wire near your car. All im saying is that you better slam on your brakes when he is ready to take a crap on your car so you can avoid it

I feel you on that... I better understand the situation. But like I said. What's most important is that you're ok. Sometimes we can't avoid an accident no matter what we do? But, in your statement you had said you were traveling at 45mph and tried to swerve. So that's why I gave the advice of trying to brake. But I see you tried to swerve and brake.

Either way... I'm just glad you're safe bruh.

All I was saying in general is we keep building cities because we're allowing our country to overpopulate too quickly. Between unlimited legal immigration, illegal immigration and some of the highest pregnancy rates in the world. We won't have anyplace for our wildlife to live. Eventually, we won't just be hitting deer. We'll be hitting moose, mountain lions, sheep, goat, horses, bears, and all kinds of other shyt. Its getting bad. We are at a point where we are getting all kinds of wild animals walking around inside cities. We never saw stuff like this 30 years ago. And its common now. People are hitting more deer than ever because of the enormous reduction in our forests over the last 30 years. Its just getting outta hand with all this construction. Wildlife has no choice but to travel where we do.

I investigate accidents for a living and am a certified accident investigator by all north american standards. Armchair second guessing quarterbacks who werent there aside you did the right thing here man. Avoidance maneuvers and braking was 100% the correct thing to do in these circumstances.

Avoidance maneuvers often lessen the seriousness of an accident but not all of them. With large long legged animals like deer, elk, moose which sadly get hit frequently, hitting them directly with a car often results in them coming through the windshield. This often kills, particularly with the bigger ones, or seriously injures the front seat occupants when the front of the vehicle cuts thier legs out from under them and lands them on your hood.

It is a measure of your skill as a driver that you chose the correct action in the split seconds you had to react. Well done. If you had hit the animal directly while trusting entirely on your brakes to avoid the collision I think the results would have been worse.

Great stuff. :tup:

:inoutroflpuke:

:pics: lol:bowrofl::bowrofl:

I'm hanging a sign in the rear window of the Cube tomorrow. I will post pictures of the end product

GI in the PI !!!
 

This aint notin' :tup:

I was in the Philippine Islands and I hit three..yes THREE water buffalo each weighing about 800 to 1000 pounds that were crossing the street in the dark at night in herd.. on an unlit highway. My vision was blinded by an oncoming car..or jeepney..
If one of those things had slid over the hood of my chevy Nova on to the passengers compartment I would not be posting on this thread now..

Richarlie, I was meaning to ask how you managed to hit 3 water buffalo and then you went about being blinded and the Chevy NOVA. I stopped there :icon17: Glad none of the buffalos tipped over your piece of crap NOVA ;)

I would agree, but if anyone is close behind you, not a good move.

Yup! I hit them full force at about 30 mph..completely wrecked the car..killed two water buffalos and broke the legs on a third...I was completely unharmed..Luckily too...a man was riding one of the animals and he was unharmed..
Just another "lucky (idiot) GI in the PI "

Here, I made this for you guys:

What, no cubic love here??? :)

My dealer gave me a loaner Cube when I had my Z in to get the gas gauge sending units replaced. I winced when the service rep walked me out to the row of loaner cars and they were all Cubes, but I was actually somewhat surprised when I drove it. It handled like crap, but it has reasonable acceleration (at least mine did), plenty of room inside (would easily fit my gig rig), and (especially compared to the Z) had plenty of visiblity all around.

Would I every purchase one? Hell no. But I've seen worse (the Pontiac Aztec comes to mind)...

Mine is a 2011 and the transmission is already slipping. There's a horrible lag between stomping on the gas and when the "vehicle" begins to move forward. I constantly feel like I'm about to tip over, the giant glass windows make the car impossible to cool in the 100+ degree heat and the f'ing thing is painted "poop brown".

:rofl2::rofl2: A Disclaimer....Priceless...

First...Did you have a Hunting License for Deer ?? You are the Deer Hunter...

Or maybe you were Hunted by the Deer...Did he have a 370Z hunting License ?

So many questions.....

they gave you a pink cube? lol :icon17: insult to injury

It's brown, that's just the reflection. A few of my coworkers have started calling me "THE DEER HUNTER".

hahaha! :icon17:

Look on the bright side, if you need some extra cash you could start delivering mail!

I was going to have Mike powder coat my calipers red and stencil on the nismo logo while the car was in the shop. Guy at the shop literally just said to me, "sorry we can't remove the calipers because it would render the car immobile".

Thought about it for a minute and called him back and said that's silly and he basically kept making excuses why he wouldn't do it (even after I offered to pay him for "labor" - just to avoid the inconvenience of adding more downtime).

Disappointed. I am absolutely not mechanically inclined but I'm pretty sure I can remove the calipers, bleed the brake lines and put them back on. Blah.

Upvote for science! Hilarious paper sign, too.

And if they needed to move your car, they wouldn't be able to stop it.

Do you really think they are going to push it around why you get your calipers powdercoated. How does this not make sense man?

:roflpuke2:

You're killin' me man!:bowrofl:

I dunno. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to remove them while the car is getting painted anyway. As for stopping it, I would hope they're not pushing it down hills (WHEEEE) or running along behind it making racecar noises but who knows. Fair point.

Not a huge loss, just inconvenient. I'll do it myself when I get it back. Was just trying to avoid the extra 3-5 days of downtime.

Definitely brown. Birds love to poop on it.

hey, it's brown, not pink! ;)

Sortof a brownish pink

Maybe should eat more fiber

I think dmhenderson should get some rep points for putting up with so much torment and fun from his fellow forum members!
Thanks dm-you da bomb!:hello:

BTW-That is one horrible looking ride-ewww...who pays money for that?!

No need to thank me. I think it's hilarious.
