enobmort42 · 12-30-2008, 02:32 AM

Revsson · 12-30-2008, 03:47 AM

Ouch....did that happen in daylight or night time driving?

jambo101 · 12-30-2008, 03:56 AM

Glad you are ok,the car can be delt with.

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-30-2008, 04:37 AM

Sorry to see/hear that about your LB. At least you're okay.

nemelek · 12-30-2008, 05:10 AM

There is a road by us we call hamburger alley. At night you have to be real carefull.

Forrest · 12-30-2008, 07:59 AM

Since you are up in NY for the holidays, are you having the car repaired up here before you go back to Florida? Important thing is you are okay. Everyone I know has hit deer atleast once here in NY.

SilverBack · 12-30-2008, 08:16 AM

Not the first thread I've seen on YW involving a run-in with a deer. Always sad to hear.

At least you're alright, and your expensive aftermarket headlights are undamaged (at least from here anyway)

Rich k · 12-30-2008, 12:48 PM

eek sorry to see your car got damaged, is it that fixable or are the mechanicals shot in addition to the bodywork? Happy your ok.

cali yaris · 12-30-2008, 12:52 PM

sorry, wow! Is the trombone ok?

gid · 12-30-2008, 01:53 PM

sorry to see . Hope the NEW YEAR brings better days . Maybe we all could get tips from BAILOUT on how to avoid deer or panic stops

.

Bob_VT · 12-30-2008, 02:31 PM

No one hurt. Insurance will take care of it. Just like Gid said..... Hope the New Year brings better days.

Chupacabra · 12-30-2008, 02:40 PM

Ouch....like everybody has said, atleast there weren't any injuries. Insurance will get her back to new.

hehe... look on the bright side, now you can get a brand new bumper. Well, hope you are feeling alrite. Because whenever our yarii get damaged, it hurts us the most.

enobmort42 · 12-31-2008, 01:59 AM

thanks, all, for the well wishes! yes, i'm having the car fixed up here. i'm just leaving it with family and flying down for school and at some point, coming back up to drive 'er back. it starts up fine, but doesn't like to stay started... it's like the throttle has a mind of its own. it'll sit idle at low rpm, then crank itself up real high, then go back down or even stall out. and it severed the wire to my brand new airhorn, too! =\

actually, those are the factory lights, just taken apart, painted, and put back together :-)
