Oh, deer...

Maryland is 4th highest in the nation for deer strikes. And this is just the start of deer season. I've already resorted to only driving my beater at night.

I've got a glh with bad floors if you decide not to put it back on the road I'd consider buying the floor pans. Or I'll make you a deal on this car and you can fix it.

This is a common intimidation tactic. If the unruly gang of deer can get you to slow down, it gives them a feeling of superiority.

Next they'll be riding sportbikes in NYC and terrorizing Range Rovers

I will keep this in mind if I decide to cut the car up.

Maybe he could have seen it coming if he were OMNIscient

Since hunting season is on us, I guess that deer "dodged" a bullet

Grilled venison, anyone?

The curse is now upon you. I said the same thing after 20 years of driving and only a few marginally close calls. Within a week, I got kamikazied in the front quarter and the door. Stupid thing did a header into the fender right above the wheel and its butt swung around and smashed in the door. The worst part was I was almost at a dead stop and the thing just kept coming, like it was his assigned task in life to destroy some of my sheet metal. I don't know how they knew about my foolish "I've never hit a deer" challenge, but they knew . . .

"We're coming for you, Dr. Boost!"

but they were over the horizon?

So what you guys are saying is the Omniscient should have seen the event horizon? Makes sense

E-town to Baltimore is quite the hike, jeez! I grew up in Marietta so I'm familiar with the roads necessary to get there.

One thing that scares me about high-speed impacts with deer is the same thing happening to humans. Could you imagine if someone stumbled out onto a highway? Scary stuff.

Someone should photoshop this and put a dozen or so more reflective eyes of hidden deer in the background.

Paste a coupla Bambis up front.
