I wrecked my Chevy today!


A gigantic deer ran out onto the country road that I travel every morning on my way to the parkway.

5:15 AM and I killed a Whitetail, sheesh, it’s not even hunting season!

Busted grill, shattered radiator, broken headlight…my diver’s side door won’t even open, the engine hood is busted and she’s leaking fluids. This little Chevy might be totalled!

I'm glad you're safe. Please tell me you got the deer. I wouldn't want it to suffer and you could use a little venison. We all could.

Deer are tenacious of life, they can take a rifle shot through the heart and lungs and still run hundreds of yards up into the hills.

This one simply destroyed my car and dipped out.

reply

Too bad.

reply

Glad you are OK! We have deer on the lane where we live and one night we had one run into the side of our car - amazingly it didn't do any damage and the deer ran off - appearing to be OK.

They can be pests, glad you didn’t have any damage.

Whitetails are beautiful animals and even majestic but I will be tracking and hunting them very soon. They have eaten many of my garden plants in the backyard and now my vehicle is busted up.

They will hear what my Mossberg 500 sounds like.

do you also live by the levee?

reply

No. But we have lots of Trout lakes and Bass ponds around here.

Sadly, we have no levees.

Good thing, because if it keeps on raining, levee's gonna...I forget what happens next

reply

Glad you're OK...all I can say is, "There but for the Grace of God go I." We have a lot of deer running loose around here and this time of year is notoriously bad for deer to go running in the roads (hunger... looking for food).

Hang in there... what a start to your day that you had!

reply

Tough way to start out. Glad you rebounded ok.

reply

Thank you!

reply

Holy shit glad you're ok man!

Thanks amigo, I’m just pissed off about the car, I just bought the thing😬

You gotta start laughing or you’ll start crying!

Sorry to hear that. I live in a place with a lot of deer, and I finally hit one about six years ago.

I was actually driving a rental because my car had been totaled a few days earlier, the first car accident of my life. Two major accidents in about a week after a lifetime without one.

Wow!
That’s some bad luck brother!!

reply

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that Shogie :(

Thx, a bit of a crash but a solid recovery👍
