Default Well guys.... You know how these go

Well it all started out with a nice weekend, got some mud on the tires and showed out enough that 2 chevys had to come get me because well we know it takes 2 chevys to make 1 truck. Had enough of the ford talk so i gave her hell.



Then i was on my way to my buddies house today. When out of the ditch came a suicidal projectile, he ran across the road with all his might and i was doing about 45 by time of impact tires squeeling on a 55mph road. I did all i could to lock the brakes up and try to miss him but the poor fella hit my bull guard, bent it back and buckled it, bent my bumper upwards, broke off the kc light, busted the grille, pushed a metal bolt (Stupidest design ever) through the center the ac condensor and watched as it shot freon all over the place, as his head shattered my headlight. All of this was goin on while he got launched through the air a good 30 feet before landing in the ditch and didn't even twitch, dead stiff.



So I pull over, Steam rolling everywhere. Cut the truck off going damnit he got my radiator! Popped the hood couldnt find coolant anywhere. Just green old stinky freon. Crunk her up and drove her home.




Damn deer tried to get me! Not to happy about this insurance call. Looks like my valve job is going to have to wait.

Oh if you notice im on the right side of the road of course. He's in the left hand side ditch lol

Some donations would be lovely lol, Gonna be expensive :'(

Damn. That sucks!! At least you're ok and the deer didn't go through the windshield. I had a couple of close calls driving from Bend, Oregon to Reno at night. Intense drive.

Cows and deer are defiantly attracted to these f150s!! I've almost hit several deer and I side swiped a cow about two years ago. Luckily nothing was majorly messed up.

What insurance do you have that won't cover this?? When I hit a deer in my 04 insurance covered it under comprehensive with no deductible.

years ago had one jump and got stuck in my bosses grill. It was still kicking! didn't know what to do, so drove to a close by bar and asked for help. They said your not supposed to leave the scene and we should go back & call the cops.... When we told them the damn thing was stuck to the truck, the bar emptied out...lol heard a shot, they yanked it from the grill, and told us to go.
