My poor Bird 2

[5bird7]

Exercised my 02 today visiting friends for the afternoon about 110 miles away. Alas, just after leaving their home this evening, hit a deer. Now my 'bird has a cracked front bumper near the left headlight. Deer apparently made it across the road but probably badly bruised if not suffering some broken bones.

Sorry to hear that, Dot. That kind of takes the Merry out of this Christmas. Hope it is fixed and as good as new soon.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE DEER AND THE BIRD. IF YOU REMEMBER ED AND NANCY FENNELL, 2002 THUNDERBIRD BLUE, NANCY HIT A DEER THIS SPRING. I GUESS THE DEER LOVE THE THUNDERBIRD BLUE. A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEAR HIT CHARLOTTE'S DSB. NEW FENDER, HEADLIGHT, AND FRONT BUMPER. THE LADY MADE A LEFT TURN FROM THE CENTER LANE RIGHT INTO CHARLOTTE.

Sorry Dot. Hope you, George, the Bird, and the Deer are all okay. When it happened to us, it really shook us, yes the car, but the Deer really impacted us emotionally most of all. The not so little guy, unfortunately did not make it, in our situation. I hope your's does.

Now for the Bird, when youget a chance tomorrow, and George gives her a good look see. If your Headlight needs replacing...... I suggest he check to other one also.for any means to have that replaced also. Our Insurance would not do the other one for us. so it was either $560. out of pocket or drive a lazy eyed Bird!

I take it to mean one new and clear, the other aged and UV damaged.

Re: My poor Bird 2

Dot, so sorry to hear about your baby, hope you and George are ok. Guess your bird is gonna get a Christmas present after all - a new front bumper and a bright shinny new head light. Don't let them put the license plate bracket on

Re: My poor Bird 2

Sorry to hear this happened Dot. Most important is you are ok.
Hitting an animal with a car can so easy turn out all wrong.
Bird can be fixed, hope that deer is ok.

Dot,

Sorry to hear about your deer incounter, but happy you and George are alright. A terrible way to end the year, but 2011 is going to be a good year especially in Texas.

Re: My poor Bird 2

Sorry to hear about your deer encounter. We have deer all over the place in NJ. They are always running across the local streets and highways.

Re: My poor Bird 2

I had a small parking lot, "hit me and left" situation recently and the good news is that the body shop detailed the whole car to condition better then when I bought it. It was unbelievable and yes I've had it professionally detailed before and do the usual meticulous care we all do but body shops have things like paint and other "magic restorative stuff. Anyway I'm delighted with my now new again bird, even if it did cost me the $500 deductable. Hope you have similar results, eases the pain.

Re: My poor Bird 2

I am sorry Dot but the more important thing is you are okay!

Re: My poor Bird 2

Texas may be large but their deer are not. the deer was no higher than the headlights and slinking across the road so that made it even lower. George is fine as he had stayed home nursing a bad cold. Headlights are fine, just the bumper is not. Get to start the job of getting it repaired tomorrow.
