I was cleaning out my pics and I came across my photos from a couple of years ago. I hit 2 deer and the worst part about it is that the hood was covering the windshild and the motor died. radiator support broke through dirvers side head and took out the timing chain. thus no brakes from the hydra boost. I did have 1 marker light left that was dangling so I could make out the line on the side of the road with my head alomost hanging out the window. the interior was covered with all kinds of nasty things. Both side windows were knocked out. over 15k in damage the pics dont show a lot of it. the sad part about it that I just got it fixed a month before due to a deer hit. you have to love rural Wisconsin LOL.

Just be glad you didn't get killed. Driving 100mph on the streets isn't very wise.

I'm not sure I buy the 2 deer at 105mph. The car would be much worse off and you would more then likely be dead.

If it was 2 deer the car would be a lot worse unless it was some tiny baby deers.I'm guessing it was one deer and it rolled off the hood.But it shows new cars ain't as safe as they say.I hit a 10 point buck in a 65 impala going about 85mph or 90 don't know speedo stopped at 80mph, On i71 it just smashed up the grille and bent my hood i drove off but was mad as hell tho.

Not to bust your chops but

Let me get this straight

1. this mustang just got out of the body shop because you hit deer

2. You're driving at night at a very high rate of speed, maybe nearing one hundred, (I don't buy the 105)

3. This is rural Wisconsin, two lane roads, dips, bumps, pot holes, stop signs, dogs and errant neighbors too, others not paying attention

4. You live in rural Wisconsin, so you know for a fact that there are lots and lots of animals roaming about, at night, as evidence by just getting the car out of the body shop



You are very lucky.
In ways you have no idea about.

A trip to church to say thank you should be in order
A trip to buy a lottery ticket might not hurt either.


Be safe (and sane) out there

Its all fun and games until there are six guys grabbing handles and walking slowly toward a big Cadillac with one wide door in the back...

I glad you're still here with us, don't disappoint me.

I had a buddy hit a Moose one night in a '70 Chevelle in Northern MN in high school. Knocked the Muncie into neutral, and one half the antler was through the pass. side windshield. He didn't dare get out, so slapped it back in gear, drove on home to get the gun and finish it if it wasn't already dead...which it obviously was. Needed a little metal work, but car was in pretty good shape overall.

Damn, I live in MN, what the sam heck were you doing 105 at night for on rural roads...you gotta death wish?

In 1988 I hit a donkey doing 70. Never saw him and and it was on the driver side A piller. If it was not that it was a volvo 740 turbo, I would have been dead (sucker was built like a tank). The donkey weighed over 1000lbs and almost completely severed its head from the neck. The car sustained $6,800 in damage. It was time to get rid of the car after that.

It all depends how you hit them and if God is really looking out for you....

Blessings,
