One Car
We are currently a one car family. Have been for about 10 days. Gloria was coming back home on I 75 with the cruise set for 75 MPH ( maybe just a little over that) when a full size deer jumped out in front of her. She is fine...the deer and the car not so much.
Because of the shape of the car, the fact that the deer was lunging and had a lower profile, and the fact that there wasn't time to brake and thus lower the front end, the deer mostly went under the car.
Not much damage for the speed of the collision. I don't thing there is any sheet metal work to be done. In the picture you see the car after the parts to be replaced have been removed, waiting for parts right now.
This was in the middle of the afternoon and the deer came out of a depression in 3 - 4 feet of grass. Not a chance to see it until it was right in front of the car.
Gloria and the car came back to Cheboygan in a rollback. So glad she is OK and everything turned out fine so far.
