oh my gosh.. i'm so sorry for you, desertrat!.. a ford? Did they not have any toyotas for you to drive?

Desertrat · 07-19-2007, 02:01 PM

No Toyotas, they said your car is outside and there isnt anymore cars for they day to switch, damn enterprise. Its weird how you can really notice the difference in mpg when switching from a Yaris to another car. This car is a gas hog compared to the Yaris.....

That poor deer. And oh yeah, your poor Yaris.

PolrWht07 · 07-19-2007, 06:48 PM

you definately hit a deer.

Kioshi · 07-19-2007, 10:55 PM

well thats different, I hope your Yaris runs the same as it did when you first took it off the lot....then again the saying goes..Once your car goes into a repair shop, it just lost its virginity :(

All we ever get is people running over squirrels*(sp?) most retarded animal *sees a car coming, and still makes the effort to run across the street*

Typer73 · 07-19-2007, 11:09 PM

I feel your pain! We totaled one car & nearly totaled its replacement 10 days later hitting deer. Damn deer! Where's a hunter with an AK-47 & a spotlight when you need one?

Desertrat · 07-20-2007, 12:41 AM

I wish they would of totalled it out so I dont have to wait as long and the thought of it not being the same anymore, but the insurance said it can be fixed....whatever.... When I get it back, hopefully tommorrow, Ill see if it still drives the same. After I hit the deer, a week later there was another dead one on the side of the road about a mile before mine. The officer said theres allways people nailing deer in that area because its open range....now Im paranoid on the way home. I need a snow plow....or some sort of self defense

The deer up here don't care if they're being whistled at!

Desertrat · 07-21-2007, 08:12 PM

Well, I finally got my Yaris back. They actually did a good job on it. As for handling it seems the same, no pulling to one side or anything. I took it out to a spot were the road had lots of turns in it, almost like a track, and performed some thoro testing. Fun

sherryberry · 07-21-2007, 09:26 PM

not bad but is it just me or is the hood part a little bent up a lil towards the left side?

Desertrat · 07-21-2007, 09:56 PM
