It appears I may have overlooked a deer in my neck of the woods this season  . My old Bimmer doesn't look so good now. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/alank/D38D0B53-2413-483F-94C6-7CA8B2240156_zps8y7jhmbs.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/alank/8E19812C-F97F-4B9D-861A-834B169C40D2_zpsmynqxe1m.jpg)

After many years of dodging the road deer, I finally hit one on the way home from work several months ago.

From what I have seen, they'll probably total it out.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

That's unfortunate...I assume it was a M5? Nope. A lowly 525i that I picked up for a song. Bought it as a beater and a car for the kids to drive when they come home. Technically, I think it will total, but I have friends in low places. The owner of the body shop we use is going to try to salvage it for me. I've made the car mechanically perfect and would like to keep it. Heck, my wife has been driving it for the good gas mileage. The Dinan only gets mid teens in town, this one does low to mid twenties.

Hey, that is a nice car - isn't really an "old" BMW - but am sorry that happened to you. Then again, better than hitting one of these wapiti up here - that does mean total.

Assuming there's anything left and you are interested. Nope. Small deer scattered all over the interstate. 65mph hit. Brains all over the bumper. I'm quite surprised the car fared as well as it did. There was splatter on the windshield and down the side of the car. Some quarter sized pieces of meat stuck to the passenger door. Like this....... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/alank/AF5DFA36-A7F1-4758-9249-BA9106EB7918_zpsbw1hl7di.jpg) Another view of the damage ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/alank/264EBC7D-0374-4911-B22D-4606ADF7A3F1_zpstjjivqi5.jpg)
