View Full Version : Dead Yaris... (or at least severely injured..)
Yesterday was my birthday. So the best present ever would be to wreck your car right?
So a very generous deer granted me my birthday wish... Ughhhh :(

that Netz badge has now survived 4 accidents
looks like it is time for one of those RS bumpers's Garm has and a CF hood
Well except I can't find it. It may just be embedded into the deer. JDM DEER FTW!
Going back to the scene today to look again. Was night when I hit it.

Sucks to hear that it had to happen on your birthday.
But that might mean a new car for your birthday!

A bumper like that would go well with the camo paint job when I get that done.

LOL More like Deer-7 Yaris-1. I hit one at like 40mph and no damage, I got lucky. Can't say much for the deer though. All these Meteorite Metallic LB's hitting deer is making me worried. First it was a batch of black Yarii now silver one:cry:

Because Black They Cant See.... Silver blinds them and stops em in their tracks...

I rode to work today. An hour ride on the highway in the 30's. Yuck.
Also, they are fixing the Yaris. Didn't even come close to totalling it. :burnrubber:
Added two new daytime photos to the first post.

That bites! Do those little deer whislter things work that you stick on your hood?
Haha not sure but that's the first thing my grandma told me. I think I should just stay off of country roads at night. The road I was on is a deer death trap. :(
Yaris is starting to get fixed. Here's a pic from the body shop.

I have seen pictures of where a deer has gone through a windshield. I'll see if I can find one to post.

Luckily I didn't get hurt at all.. And same with my passenger.
The car is scheduled to be done next Friday.
I just got a rental car but I didn't get to pick what kind... '07 Chevy Impala 4 door.. ugh..
Oh also, new pic of the progress..

this makes baby jesus cry.
What makes me cry is the gas mileage of this rental Impala.. ugh.. almost a quarter tank just to drive 40 miles on the highway.

You can always take it back and trade it for a smaller, more efficient car.
I can relate. When my last car got totaled, I picked out a Pontiac G6 from the rental company because it was the last car on the lot and I desperately needed a ride for work. After 8 days of use and $150 blown on gas alone, I traded it in for a Nissan Versa until my claim check was ready, which was 15 days later. Even though I eventually decided on the Yaris as my first new car, the Versa was almost as good on gas. $50 to refill before returning. It also cost me less to rent.
You shouldn't be stuck with the Impala
Why get a dog food-vacumming Rottweiler when all you can afford to feed is a Chihuahua?
What I'm getting at is: Why rent an expensive gas-guzzler when all you really need is something practical?
Hope you make the right decision, and hope you get your car back soon:thumbsup:
I'm supposed to get the Yaris back today... hopefully..

Blech. No thanks. It's not a pretty sight. It's also very dangerous aside from the obvious part about having a deer inside your car. They have really sharp hooves, and they'd be all freaked out / injured from getting smacked by your car.
I'm supposed to get the Yaris back today... hopefully..
Yep got it back. Good as new. Except it's hopping all over the place, but they swear its my rims. I hope not. I'm putting the steelies on this weekend anyways.

hopping as in balance or as in alignment
They swear they aligned it. It didn't do it before I smacked the deer. I wonder if it's just a flat spot? I looked and didn't see anything.

get out the tape measure and give it a check to be sure. they could have said it, but that person that said it might be under the impression that it was aligned, ya never can be too sure.
Well I gotta put the stock steelies on anyways (for snow.. ugh), and they have to lifetime guarantee everything. So he said if it still bounces with the stock wheels on he will do something.
The whole situation has sucked. Never going to the same place again. =/

I hope it's ok. I can walk up and down my street and count a dead deer every 1/4 mile. Luckily I have not had an close calls. I've been able to knock out a few birds though lol
