I hate Deers ....

Crunch3r:
Finally i'm back home now after having a major car accident (though had some luck not having major injuries).
 I tried not to hit the Deer that showed up in the middle of the road out of nothing... Bad idea... my car  flipped over 3 times  and slided on the roof... That's it.

So my car is totaly junk and along with that I'm loosing my mobility.
As a result of that i have to give up my job ( i have my own little business )...

My knee hurts a bit but after all it could have been worse...
Need to have some rest now.

P.S.

I hate deers.

Oh man, I hope you feel better soon and you manage to get something from your insurance for your car.

Holy S**t!  :o

Glad to hear you're still w/ us.
BTW, it's 50/50 hitting a deer vs. ditching the car.  You may still get toasted by hitting it since they have a tendency do go THOUGH the windshield and their hoofs can end-up inside the car w/ you.

I rolled a compact during a storm in 93' 7 times through a telephone pole into a field and ended up-side down w/ the roof buried in the mud.
Every window was blown-out, glass everywhere including in me. The car was destroyed. Got a few nice scars on my back and a stiff neck for remembrance.
Darn lucky to be alive.

You probably didn't feel much during the accident, but you will now and later as the adrenaline in your system wears off.
Trust me and see a doctor.  ;)  You may have injuries you don't recognize yet (as my neck showed on the x-rays.  No pain, but dislocation of 2 vertebrate that REALLY concerned the doctors at the time).

Take care of yourself.

Geez....glad to hear that you were not seriously hurt.  In my younger years I lived with my parents in a very rural area, and one year I hit 2 deer about a month apart.  Nothing so dramatic as your accident though, just trashed the front end of the car but was able to keep it on the road both times.  Scary stuff though.  The second deer I hit about 1 week after getting the car out of the body shop for repairs from the first crash.  I never did get it fixed the second time.
Hope you heal quickly.
Mark.
