Post by drifterPost by MarinaPost by IML8My first thought was that it was the mountain lion from a few weeks ago...
Post by majcmWhat was the thing growling in the graveyard? It sounded like a
rabid dog, but the flash looked like a rabbit or something small.
Yeah, I thought it was the mountain lion,too. I didn't see it, tho.
The only animal I saw was when Claire was driving away and the deer
ran in front of her causing Claire to crash.
In all fairness to the deer, it didn't cause the crash. It was
Claire's stupid reaction that did; trying to steer around it on
a one lane country road while speeding. In most situations,
it's would probably be better to hold on to the steering wheel
and take it out. Very likely the car would have still been
driveable.
You can get pretty badly messed up by hitting a deer. Killed even. I once
saw the after effects of a deer hit on a range rover. The
entire front end was plowed in.
Depends on the car, maybe. My 95 Geo Metro (which I bought
new) has hit and killed so many deer that I put the name "Deer
Slayer" on the fender along with little deer silhouettes like
WWI flying aces used to use. Had four when I ordered the
stickers; currently holding at seven. You'd be amazed how far
you can launch a full grown deer with a car that size going 65.
I once saw a Ford F250 truck that only hit ONE deer, and it
looked like it got hit by a wrecking ball as it got towed away.
My car never even stopped running. Each time I just take off
the hood and hammer it more or less straight (except for that
one windshield). The air bags didn't even pop until the fifth
deer.
I do drive 35 miles through the country to work, at about 5 in
the AM. Sometimes it seems like those deer just drop out of
the sky. Oddly, all these deer were in the space of about a
year and a half.
