Thumbs down New Mod!



while driving to the womans house last night, i get a block from her house and i catch something out of the corner of my eye. I look over and whats 2 feet away from my car heading straight towards me? That right a deer. Apparently he thought it was a good idea to not wait for me to pass and just gun it and go all out. His head it the passener side mirror. Cracked that and popped the glass out of it and i then assume the force spun him around and his body slammed into the car. That picture is a result of what happens when a deer runs full force into the side of your car. Off to the body shop. Might as well put the lip kit on now while im at it

That sucks. I've had numerous close calls. Deer have got to be some of the dumbest creatures on the Earth.

At least it didn't get in front of you ... I've heard about some really bad accidents with the deer going through the windshield.

Here's a nice example ... warning: extremely graphic.
