Either I have Great Skills at driving or I just have really good reflexes.or maybe both.But I was driving home the other night from a friends and was doing about 50 in a 45 when all of a sudden a deer comes running out infront of my car,Then stops so I swerved to the left to miss it and it runs infront of my car ans stops again so last ditch effort to save my RA I swerved back right and Managed not to wreck my car.However I narrowly missed the deer by Literally 2 inches.All I saw after the last swerve was deer butt in my face.I think the thing had a death wish or something.I dont know.But how I missed it is amazing.I Got out and made sure I didnt hit it and that there were no deer turds on it cause I swear the thing Crapped itself or Pee'd itself.But I figured it was a funny thing to share and was wondering if anyone else had something similiar happen.Normally the Deer just watch my car go by.But this one had it in for me.If I see them I slow down to like 20 or less incase this happens.But this Deer was hiding behind a bush and just out of nowhere ran infront of me.So Either it had a death wish and was trying to Commit Suicide or it just wanted to help decorate my car.Deer Style.. lol

 

i assume you are in PA now

 

YEp.How did you guess?

 

A couple months ago I was coming home from work, the drive home is half city, half highway, I was on the highway, it was a bit after midnight and cops never patrol that highway so I was doing 135km/h in the middle lane, and then I see two deer crossing the highway, one in the left lane just almost getting off the highway, and the other in the right hand lane crossing into the middle lane, slammed on the brakes and cranked it to the left to swerve out of the way. Scariest car incident I've ever been in, at that speed a deer through the windshield wouldve been really really messy.

 

i lived there for 23 years and lived in fl for 6 months. havnt went 2 weeks without seeing a deer in PA but havnt seen a single one here (net even in deer key!). that, and to the left, it says ur from FL and PA. seems like a popular combo here (u, me, ski, some others).

 

[stalker mode]Because your profile on the Orlando DSM board says you're in Philly for school. [/stalker mode]

 

0wn3d!!

Haha.. YEah I am YA found me. lol.I lived in FL for 17 Years and saw a bunch of Deer.They are small there tho.I get up here and it is like Monster Deer to me.They are Huge here.I just Finished a year up here.How ya like FL?Its not normally like this with the Hurricanes and all. And yeah.IT was a scary thing.The worst part was having a Deer's butt in my face.Tell Glenn I said Hi.

 

Well me and my friend and another friend was driving in the hills in my friend's integ, and we were just cruising and talking bout how good soup was and my chubby funny a$$ friend spotted a baby deer, and we all looked and we were like Oh ****, and he was like iTS BAMBI, LETS MAKE BAMBI soup... I dunno we didn't hit it or anything it was on like the shoulder of the road. Just wanted to share a experience with you all, good bye and good night

 

I like FL just fine, when I'm down there visiting friends. I live in WI.

I joined O-DSM a while ago, because I was planning to move down there, and I wanted to meet some people with similar interests. Plans for the move have been put off, maybe indefinitely, but I still hang around the BB for sh*ts and grins.

 

I was riding with my dad one night (in PA) and a deer hit us. We were doing like 30 down a back road and the deer came up on the side and ran into the passenger side door where I was sitting. That was some freaky stuff.

I tell you what, driving through Valley Forge Park whether it's day time or night you always gotta be on your toes. Those deers roll deep. I've seen packs of like 30 before.

 

I have a friend whos cousin had a Type R integra and a Deer ran into the side of him and messed the Teg up Bad. I have seen large packs too.Its like they are ganging up on cars or something.lol.This one just wanted me to hit her or something.I dont know.

Myszkewicz,I think I have seen ya lurkin on that board.I go on there from time to time.THe Hurricanes arent too bad,YA get used to them after a while.I kinda actually miss them.I used to have Hurricane parties.It was great.I hate the Cold weather.Dont get me wrong,the Snow is gorgeous but its a lil bit too cold for me.

 

i lived about 30 mins north of pittsburgh all my life. went to college at U. of Pitt and worked in Oakland (just outside of pittsburgh). When i would drive between home and work, it would typically see anywhere from a couple to a couple dozen dead deer on the side of RT 28 on any given day.

btw, i like FL better. Im near west palm beach now and am getting hurricanes up the *** like every week. but guess what? i'll be living it up while u guys are freezing and shoveling ur cars out the driveway

 

Deers are just stupid and we have lots around here. I was inches from SMOKING one in my old car. Here's the story.
It was just past dusk going home from work on a road just outside the city. The speed limit was 80KPH but I was driving someone home and we both wanted to get home. I was going about 110KPH, very tired, no brights on when "****"
I STAMPED on the brakes, held the steering wheel straight and said **** a few more times. I locked all 4 tires, the deer's *** was probably 2 inches from my bumper. See the lights on this old beater were terrible AND I didn't have the brights on AND there was no light on the road (no streetlights, the sky wasn't lit up from the city either). It was in the middle of the road and ran in front of my car to the shoulder. My tires were nicely roughed up and my friend almost **** himself.
I was proud that I held the steering wheel straight. If I turned it, I would have gone off the road. An 80s Chevy is not the best handling car. I was amazed I didn't blow apart the brake lines, I pushed that brake pedal SO incredibly hard. My calf was sore after that.
Then with the RA, I was on the same road, this time on the way to work (at 5AM). I was again going 110KPH (guess I didn't learn). There was a deer in the ditch, I saw it AS I was already going past it.
The RA is so forgiving when you overcompensate on the highway. You can swerve pretty harshly and it doesn't seem unstable. Of course with ABS you can hit that brake pedal as hard as you want, you aren't going to skid off the road.
