Default Hit a deer last night...

coming home from my first metal detecting meeting. I am still on my permit so I was riding with my mom when it happened. I was going around a turn where there is a really big bank and I didn't even have time to react. The deer jumped off the bank and right on the hood of the car. Messed it up pretty good. I pulled over a little ways down the road and the two cars that were behind me pulled over and asked if my mom and I were ok. The one guy said that that deer had to have flown a good 15 feet in the air then it landed and just walked away. I went to use the phone at a house to call my dad and he came and picked us up. The radiator blew and the power steering was gone but we managed to get it home. But besides that, the meeting was pretty cool. It is the first meeting we have has and we had about 12 people that went. We still have to come up with a name for our club. Any suggestions? lol. Well I better get going. Here are some pics of the car.

p.s. I'm glad my Bills license plate didn't get damaged up or bent. GO BILLS!!!

Very glad you, your Mom and your Bills plate were unhurt! Amazing sometimes how much damage those deer can do and still walk away!

Glad you and your mom are ok. Those deer come out of no where!

A club name.....Hmmmm....What about the "Groundhogs"?

I like the GroundHogs name. It seems appropriate for a club that digs things out of the ground.....and it is part of Pennsylvania lore too.

That deer just wanted to wake you up, that's all. I'm so happy you guys are okay. I like groundhogs. That's a fine name.

Take care of yourself, now...
