Default It just never ends

My daughter has a ‘10 Jeep, first a couple years ago, diabetic passed out and hit her head on, then my Doosh mechanic didn’t tighten the tie rod and her front end came apart, luckily parking at college, not on the freeway, then same fix, he never put bolts in the caliper, it fell off 6 months later, today I was woke up to ~ Dad, I just hit a deer, totaled my Jeep. Again no one hurt, good thing no one was in the passenger seat. The plastic windshield trim did fly off and hit Jer in the head. But no injury’s. Someone must be watching out for her

Thanks, other than the bent upper part and windshield, hoof dent in the hood, not much damage. The windshield didn’t fold in like on the older jeeps.
The interior was full of fur, sad, the does baby came back and looked at he mom all messed up.

Very glad she is OK.

I hit a deer going 70 MPH on a highway in New Jersey at night. Traveling along - all of a sudden I see a flash of brown immediately in front of me then nothing - all the idiot lights are lite. Pull over - the whole front end of my 82 Cutlass is totaled. The hood is bent in an inverted "V" which is blocking the windshield.

My friend Lee Miller hit a deer with his 1969 343 Javelin on the NY Quickway (Rt. 17) doing 70 MPH. He hit it just right that the deer came up over hood and went through his windshield. He wound up with a broken arm and shoulder. Other than the windshield - very little damage to his car.

Good thing nobody was hurt! Just a tip, When you get it back from being fixed, turn on the defroster and the other blowers BEFORE You drive it!

My good friend hit a deer and when it got back from the body shop (while driving home) he turned the defroster fan on full and it shot fine glass particles from the hearer ducts all over the place and in his eyes.
I'm sure they came from both from the deer impact and the window R&R

One incident in Wisconsin, a deer crashed through the windshield of a pickup ... the deer wanted out pretty bad and proceeded to kick the crap out of the two in the truck. The deer made it back out through the broken windshield and ran off. The two passengers had some pretty serious injuries.
