Picked up the 1 and hit a Deer

Dave · 03-25-2008, 08:43 AM

sorry for the misleading title guys
it wasnt the 1 and i will spare the details

You cant notice all the fur and gore as this was taken after but the sound was horrible

atr_hugo · 03-25-2008, 08:48 AM

You OK?

Dave · 03-25-2008, 08:49 AM

This was our first accident ever.

For the time being we left the 135 in Nj in our in laws for them to use

a couple happy pics:

joelk · 03-25-2008, 08:50 AM

ouch. sorry man.

at least it got the toyota but that still sucks. i guess it sucks worse for the deer ... but that must have been scary.

your wife probably had a heart attack.

aside from some bruising on the chin and waist from seat belt i am ok.

I am terrified to drive esp since I thought deer only come out at night.

The deer literally made it across 5 lanes of traffic and a meridian b4 it took me out.

Needless to say I will be hunting soon

Dave · 03-25-2008, 08:52 AM

and a funny one...
my wife very displeased with the sedona red and happy we did not order it!

N54me · 03-25-2008, 08:54 AM

Seems like everything wound up as good as could be expected. I've been involved in more than one deer collision... it's no fun at all.

PS you had me thinking the 1 was what hit the deer! I almost didn't open the thread.

Congrats on the new car!

ChrisK · 03-25-2008, 08:57 AM

Could you imagine hitting the deer with the 1er? Glad everyone is OK!

Tijuana · 03-25-2008, 09:01 AM

Yikes. Glad you are okay. I think you need to keep that Corolla to block for your 1.

randomquickness · 03-25-2008, 09:02 AM

oh the deer...I grew up in rural VA...cars in my family taken out by deer:

dodge caravan
subaru legacy
toyota corrola (twice)
chevy suburban
jeep grand cherokee (mine)
volvo 240 (twice and also mine)

imported_LiveFast135i · 03-25-2008, 09:55 AM

Don't be surprised that shit happened on 23 in wayne...i live 5 minutes where that happened...before i continue happy that you're ok...but...this is what happens when you continue to clear all the woods and build build build

Numb3rs · 03-25-2008, 09:58 AM

Beautiful car, hot wife. Glad to hear your ok!

BForbes · 03-25-2008, 09:59 AM

Izzo!! I was wondering what happened to ya..Good thing your okay man. I never tire of AW on the 135i. Sooo hot.

spudw · 03-25-2008, 10:02 AM

Glad everyone is ok, incl the 135i... Looks like the Corolla got off easy... Not much more than a new hood and a bumper cover, I hope...

My brother-in-law hit a deer on the Queensway in Ottawa a few years ago. His Saturn was a write off...

Drove through Newfoundland in our Minivan last summer. They don't worry as much about deer out there - you have to watch out for Moose!!!

d3syd · 03-25-2008, 10:06 AM

Sorry to hear about the accident. So glad you and the 135 are ok, would have been the bummer of the decade if it was the 1er that collected the deer.

dclee1 · 03-25-2008, 10:07 AM

Wow, seriously, glad you're alright. A friend of mine was hospitalized for a couple weeks after hitting a deer in his vette on the highway a couple years back.

...after that, you've got to be glad the 1's OK, too

jasonite · 03-25-2008, 10:10 AM

Glad you're both OK, izzodesh - and the new car.

So was it the 135i's stopping power which kept your wife from hitting the deer (whereas the Toyota wasn't so fast on the breaking)?

thanks guys for all the blessings

As far as stopping power is concerned the 1 had the corolla beat 10 folds.... It literally looked liked the 135 came to a stop and it was the tires that were the ones last to grip the stop.

My wife also said she got that "cool" nauseous feeling from hitting the brakes and you shoot out of the seat only to get pulled back by the locking seat belts.

I do love the corolla...taken us to killington many times and thru many snow storms up 280 and 95 and for how hard the deer hit it it held up well.

Looking forward to meeting you all april 5th meet in bear mtn (check regional section)

-d

ps how long were you all freaked out of driving for after nailing bambi?
