Last night or well 1:02 am father's day morning I was on my way home from a friends house 'cause I knew I had to wake up early. So I was exiting his neighborhood like usual getting on Peachtree Prkwy, I was doin' the speedlimit +5 enjoying the night with all the windows down goin' through the curvy road.......that was till I came around a left bend and 2-3 deer (I know I say two but pretty sure there was a third) ran right out in front of me!! My normal reaction was to swerve and miss with not harming the damn animals in mind. well I had jerked my wheel to the left I guess hard enough where the rear end spun out from behind. I had slammed on the brakes but didnt have any effect. As soon as I was off the concrete into grass I knew I was for a ride so let off the brake and braced myself!! I remember my car slamming into a tree kinda hard and felt my car spin around and slide while hitting something else and finally came to a dead stop. I'm not sure if I was just in shock from what was goin' on or if I blacked out....cant really remember. As soon as I got my senses back I reached in my pocket for my phone and redialed whoever i called last which happen to be the kid's house I just left. With my windows being down I had branches and **** all in my face and could not get my door to open...I exited though the passenger door and walked to the road waving my arms for help and believe it or not two cars past w/o stopping......sorry people. Finally the person I called showed up and call the ambulance and stuff. the paramedics took me to the hospital where i sat for 3 freakin' hours while waiting for my urine, cat-scan and blood test results all came back....turned out just my rims and upper abdomen are bruised from hitting the steering wheel. I was lucky to walk out they said like I did....and i'm very greatful.

The before pic is just 9 hours earlier while on break from work......4-hour break=wash and wax! The 'yard was closed yesterday so I picked it up not too long ago....the car is already in pieces.....at least the front is. The motor/tranny was pushed back touching the firewall. My shift linkage was bent to hell so I could not change gears or put the car in neutral. Tonight when I took off the front right rim there was a chunk missing.....not exactly sure what I hit to cause that. The interior is still all intact so I'm just goin' to part that out and whatever is still useable. I'll have the motor out by the end of this week; I'm not sure whether to sell it or keep it and just build it.....tough decision. The other thing that really sucks is that I only have liability on the car.....stupid idea but sounded great at the time. Liability=no car and no money.

Here are the pics and sorry 'bout the quality of the them. I wish I had the camera the night of the wreck. It looked worse then but now I'm on the hunt for a 91-95 MR2 Turbo.

**EDIT**
None of Santas reindeer were harmed during this making.....if I had a gun it would of been a different story haha. Stupid Deer!!!!







here is a pic when we got the car on the trailor to take it back to my house.
When I took off the rim this is what I saw. I really want to know what I hit to do somehing like that.

sorry to hear that bro

 

i got a friend who could use alot of your interior pieces if they are for sale....

pm me and let me know if you are selling anything off of that joker, sorry about your loss

 

Lots of stories about deer lately. Sorry to hear I'll definately take this story to heart and be more cautious at night.

Feel ebtter and good luck.

 

damn that suck... but you walk away from it...

 

that sucks.... good luck with your search for an R

 

****!!!

 

looks at first picture, "hmmm... pretty clean"

scrolls down, "oh SNAP"

that sucks dude good luck with the repair... or new project

 

damn!!!

 

lol

 

NOOOOOOESSS DB2!!!!

ouch man, atleast your ok

 

damn that must of been a reindeer on steroids!

 

Least you are okay bro. sorry bout your loss

 

damm im sorry to hear that.. at least the deer is okay ..

 

damn nature owned u

 

It's okay, your car wasn't that clean anyways. Jk, sucks to see that...

 

ouch

 

yeah I'm just thankful that I walked out like i did. It just suks though cause i just ended high school and dont have a car this summer. Should I sell the car as a "whole" parts car, part it out, or time to fix it and make improvements?? What would you guys do. I just feel like there is just a alot of money involved to get it back on the streets. It still has a clean title since I never claimed insurance so it can be put back on the road. I'm just frustrated right now. I'll put more pics up later tonight.

 

Buy a hatch.

That wasnt no reindeer that was a frickin Dinosaur!

 

ouch!

sorry dude..

 

i would part it out, only drawback to that is its a long process to get rid of everything.

 

ouch!!

 

WOW! Im really sorry to hear about your car but be glad that your ok.

 

bummer man.... looks like the deer was tryin to take out the LS with the gsr badge
