Deer vs. Truck, my truck lost...

When driving home last night my wife had the lovely experience of a large deer jumping in front of the truck when she was on the highway. She must've been doing 45 when she impacted it, and my truck is pretty fucked. Luckily she wasn't hurt and didn't crash off the road or head on someone, but she's very very upset about killing the deer. She cried and cried, and I felt really bad.

Now we have to have 2 vehicles, because we work pretty far apart and our hours are very different, not to mention picking up and dropping off the kid at school each day (no Bus.) So we're pretty fucked if the truck doesn't run anymore.

The whole front end is pretty battered, and the hood is literally bent inwards several inches, and one headlight is just gone. We have no savings, as always, and getting the truck fixed will probably cancel any hope of Xmas. All in all, just Fucking Hilarious.

I have a friend coming over today who is gonna help my assess the damage, so wish me luck, 'cause I fucking need some.
 
Good luck with that. The upper intake planum on my car has a hairline crack. Water and white smoke are pouring out of the tailpipe so it's pretty much fucked. It's the only car me and my wife have so we are fucked and X-Mas is cancelled for us. So I really hope your truck is ok.
 
I heard on the news like two days ago some 20 year old kid died from a deer jumping in front of his car. They said he probably didn't even know what happened.

I'm really glad she's alright. Christmas would really suck if it was because your wife passed not over a truck. Look at the bright side a brand new fixed up truck would be a great christmas gift. :)

Oh and you can eat the deer for Christmas dinner!
 
Yeah I say make some venison sausages for breakfast and some steak for dinner, and hope for the best. I'm sorry to hear about your truck though JLXC, if there was some way for me to help you I totally would man.
 
Ouch man that is a premo bitch, but like everyone said at least your wife is ok. I mean I have seen some pretty bad deer meeting car accidents, one where their was either death or they were totaled beyond repair. And like Welshy siad if I could help I would :happysad: .
 
Oh god. And i thought my shitty old $25 car breaking down at school was a big deal...in my case, work, school, and pretty much everywhere i need to go is within a reasonable walking/biking distance so it's not that bad. Good luck with getting that fixed. I'm glad your wife's not hurt.
 
People always find a way to get around. Perhaps you could ask one of your son/daughters friends to take her home. Anyways, it's always good to hear that no one was hurt. Good luck. :D
 
I think this incident proves that deer are genetically predispositioned for general retardation. All the little bastards do is provide a food source for bigger, cooler animals and occasionally drink from streams when you're hiking so all the old ladies can take pictures and make clucking noises.

God's gift to man in the form of a furry road hazard. Damn things don't even make any horiffic death-cry when you nail 'em. Where's the satisfaction in that?

Oh, and on a more sensitive note, my condolances to your wife. Sounds like she was pretty tore up over it. Further sympathy to your truck.
 
Heh, I remember when I was about 10 me and my family were coming back from a friends house, and the road got blocked off because someone in a minivan hit a deer. The minivan was actually in ok condition other than the grill. But, the deer was decapitated and it's head was hanging off the bumper. My God that was gross. But at least you guys are ok.
 
Deer vs truck...deer gets it's guts splattered all over the trucks windshield...the truck gets its guts splattered all over the road...I'll call it a tie. :D
