deer collision
No it wasn't my 928 but wanted to post a damage report to a far bigger vehicle.
Driving my 3/4 ton chev 4x4 diesel truck just before daylight this morning a deer hit me. Wrecked the bumper, fender, grill, all lights and other assorted plastic pieces.
My truck weighs 9000lbs so thankfully no damage to me and I was able to drive away although its in the shop now.
928 content: this is on a very rural road where the car would be in its sweet spot speed wise..............imagine the damage.
Please be careful out there
BTW.............fresh venison anyone?

glad to here you were in the truck, you could have had some personal injurys in anything smaller. Go get a lotto ticket, a beer and a cigar, sit back and relax. Could have been different....the deer could have waited!

thx guys...........its only after such an event one counts how fortunate we are and I'd hate to think of other brutal events when all we're doing is driving to work.
No worries.............I'm having a beer

Where do those damn deer get their licenses?
Seriously though, glad to hear you're ok. Sucks about the truck damage though.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed

Glad you are unhurt. Are you the only person in Alberta who owns a pick-um-truck without a deer guard on it? And don't tell us you don't have rifle racks either. The only way that happens is when you drive it new off the lot.
