Yesterday, I was travelling south bound on I380 in PA and a deer (100+lb) jumped in front of me. It was dancing on the highway, as it couldn't decide to go across or go back. The deer hit the left fender, bumper, left light, hood, smashed the windsheid completely and flew off the roof. Luckily, it did not go thru the windshield, or I would be dead. Still a bit shaken.

Any good body shop in North NJ/NYC. I heard roof damage is hard to fix.

 

WOW.

Unfortunately, that is all too common an occurance in this area. Lucky you were not hurt.

 

Anyone has any experience with Manahattan Motorcars body shop? Good or bad?

 

Isn't there some sort of deer whistle or something to that effect to help with this problem?

 

Bodymotion in Oakhurst N.J., Exit 105 off the GSP does EXCELLENT work. Check outr their website www.Bodymotion.com , Mike Bavaro is the owner and has years of EXTENSIVE Porsche knowledge. I've been going there for years..He also hosts the Jersey Shore Region PCA events. Give him a call and speak to him re: your needs....Good Luck.

Daamnn!!! but you are ok!!!

 

Sorry to hear about that, glad you're okay. I had an identical experience a few months ago - deer couldn't make up his mind about which way to go and BOOM.

 

I was terrified to drive my Miata at night in our area last fall. That's why I drive a truck.



C'mon out Bambi, let's see how you do against 7400 lbs....

 

I heard when you see a deer in the middle of the road, the best way to avoid the deer is to drive straight at it. Is there any truth to that?

 

sorry to hear...

 

Would've worked in my case. I steered in the opposite direction of where it was going and the deer just suddenly did a 180 degree turn, ran right back infront of me and BOOM.

 

Thanks everyone...

I tried, but it stopped and turned back also. It just happend so fast. It is so hard to avoid because you just don't know which way it wants to go.

Can I trust Manhattan motorcar body work? I need to decide quickly. South NJ is too far...

 

----????----

 

I don't believe old fashion stick on whistles were ever proven to be beneficial!

 

Hasn't modern science come up with anything? Perhaps this???
