Deer Hit

[yaris prime]

Well, I'd show you some pictures, but there is nothing to show!!
I can't believe it, but there is absolutely no damage to the car. A smallish doe popped up on my left, I slammed on the brakes and heard a fairly loud thud. The deer was thrown to the shoulder and stumbling to try and get up. It was a very bad area to stop, so I went up the road about 200 yards and pulled into a parking lot to survey the damage. Nothing ! I walked around the car 4 times thinking there has got to be some damage; headlight, bumper cover, fender, mirror, but nada ! When I went back to see about the deer, I couldn't see it anywhere, so maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe my fresh coat of NXT 2.0 wax helped slide the deer off the car :smile:
I hit a deer a few years ago with my civic, didn't sound quite as loud, but that one took out my mirror, part of my fender, and my door.
Consider me lUCKY !

Depends upon how fast you're going too. Faster you go the harder you hit the deer.

Maybe you should send that story to the makers of NXT 2.0 :biggrin:

Deer are tough animals. I've heard of them getting nailed and half destroying the front of the car, and walking off... It's why deer hunters have to use such sharp pointed rifle ammo to kill them (and why the bow and arrow hunters use those wicked looking razor tipped arrows) The front of the Yaris is a rubbery plastic backed by foam and has a lot of flex so I imagine the hit was cushioned a lot. Also the sound deadening on your Civic was prolly a lot better then your Yaris, so the bang just seemed louder on the inside this time... just MHO :smile:
