YEP The first time she drove it to Panama City a big 8 point run into the side of her new car broke the drivers mirror and dented up the back door. JUST MY LUCK !!! Thank god she wasn't hurt cause she had the window half way down and it could have came right into the window stabbing her in the face with the horns. Found one on ebay door and mirror will cost me 450.00 . But first i'll take it to my cuz and see if he can do anything with it. Havn't been on fte much lately and hope all yall are staying warm. GOD BLESS YALL ALL !!!!

 

Hi Dale! That sucks...I bought a Bronco II for my stepson before he got his license (16yrs old) I bought it and spent time and money getting it roadworthy and safe. 9 days after he got his license, not only did he wreck it...he ROLLED it!
In town, on a main artery road, he decided that he wanted to stop at subway to get a sandwich. He was in the left lane, switched to the right lane and had to slam the brakes to make the turn into the Subway entrance. All this happened in a very short distance aprox. 200 feet. the driver behind him had no time to react and hit the rear passenger corner, went up under the BroncoII as the harsh turn was being executed....well he ended up making the turn, but upsidedown!
He is a pretty good driver now (19) and he has a lot more respect for top heavy-short wheel base vehicles....I went through this with him over and over, but he can't comprehend I may know what I am talking about...kids...

Unfortunate for your daughter...Hard to train deer...

 

THANKS jeff' We have so many deer around my house you see were somone hit one aleast 3 or 4 times a week.Thankful he hit her and she disn't hit me cause it would have totaled the car out.

 

Well I don't feel alone anymore... my daughter had two already... The first one she didn't see the car come up beside her and she tried to drive over it... the second she got t-boned, broke the rear axle... I let is sit for 3 months before I replaced the rear end in it...

Glad that your baby girl is ok! Cars can be fixed or replaced!

 

Welcome Sir! I am glad she is OK. the damage to the car is a bummer. I am sure she will be a little leery for a bit and maybe more of a defensive driver. And that's a good thing.

 

My wife's car a few years back was an '94 Mustang GT convertible 5.0 Liter. My 19 year old daughter was driving it one night with three friends, and "somehow" slammed into a curb, ruining one of the chrome rims and popping the tire. No one was hurt, but she never drove it again. Now, 10 years later, she is a safe driver.

 

I'm glad your daughter is safe. Maybe that deer was trying to even the score?

 

Glad your daughter is ok, fortunately my 17 year old daughter hasn't been in any wrecks yet. Well she bumped an El Camino, but didn't do any damage to either car. She also took a corner too close and bumped the curb. Bugs don't do well with that; she dented up the side a little.

Speaking of deer, the hunting season in Missouri ended yesterday. We killed 290,191 this season with bow and firearms combined.

 

Glad to hear that the daughter wasn't hurt. Its also cool that the accident wasn't her fault.
I've been pretty lucky, my older son "tapped" a few objects so he has a small scrape on his front fender and a pushed in rear bumper on his 94 Ranger. I managed to straighted the bumper fairly well. My daughter was rearended in her 98 Satrun. She was able to stop in time but the guy behind her nailed her. I was able to fix that one pretty cheap.
My youngest sone tapped a lady in a brand new mini van with my suburban....ugh, that little paint scuff cost approx $1000....sheesh

All minor, no one hurt....I'm lucky

Give the daughter a big squeeze, she'll probably be freaked out for awhile

Dale , glad to hear she is ok . A deer will wipe out a car . My mother can testify about that . Did you get any venison out of the deal ?

 

Whew!!! Glad she is OK. Did you get to harvest the deer?

 

Dale Glad the daughter is ok. The wife was hit twice last year by deer. Right front fender in the wheel well area and passenger door. $3200. Then left rear quarter panel. $2300. I ask her if she could just use a gun on anymore! Not 2 weeks later an 8 point at a dead run, runs right out in front of my new truck at 1 in the morning! $4300 later I had a new front end. Thank goodness insurance picked it all up except $500 deductible on each accident. That was some mighty expensive deer meat!

 

Im glad you daughter was not hurt, what a blessing. Cars come and go, but your daughter cant be replaced. I wrecked a brand new car back in 1970 that still had its paper licence plate ads and the price sticker in the window. Oh well ,it happens.

 

Good thing that she is safe and unhurt. I had two when I was a kid, the first was the first day I got my license. I was driving with a buddy in my $250 56 Chevy convertible. I pulled over to check something and two girls, while trying to go around, ran into the back of the drivers side rear corner. She backed up and pulled around and tried to get away. I followed her to their apartment and talked to the mom. They had no insurance and the girl who was driving was 14. A few years later, driving a 64 Falcon, I turned left and as I was turning I saw a really cool car in a gas station. Of course I had to look! I turned back to the road just in time to see a Corvette as I ran into the back of it. He had stopped while somebody was turning in front of him. I was hell on wheels back then and I would hate to have had a son like I was.
