Driving home last night, I hit a deer.
Lucky for me, the deer was already dead, but by the time I saw it lying in my lane there was no time to swerve around it. I had to go straight over it, with a loud, horrible thump-thump-thump as my car failed to clear the height of the deer.
By the side of the road, I saw a maroon SUV pulled into the breakdown lane… I figured they either did the same thing I did, or perhaps hit the deer when it originally took its ill-fated walk onto the interstate.
I was really tired when I got home, and it was dark, so I wasn’t able to fully check out to see if there was any damage. I peered underneath, and didn’t see any fluids dripping from the car, so I don’t think the gast tank or brake lines were damaged. Today after work I’ll give a full look-see. It was Adam’s turn to drive today, so my car is taking a rest at home right now.
The Prius is designed to have a pretty flat underside, so I’m hoping the deer just glanced off without any damage.
oh damn you were serious! Jaysus, what is with the dead deer attacking you people’s cars? Hoo-whee…hope your car is ok. If not, *I’ll* be the one chauffeuring us around 😛
