Wear your fucking seatbelt. - CaptainHenreh - 09-20-2014 Hey kids. This is a PSA. I know you're all young and invincible, now. But one day you'll have one of these: Precious cargo in a car you never thought you'd find yourself in. And maybe one day, if you've got shit luck, you'll see a deer run out in front of that car you never thought you'd drive and you'll have just enough time to think "Ok, keep the wheel straight, light grip, firm pressure on brake pedal..." before you get suckerpunched in the face by an airbag. So drive sober, drive aware, drive like the universe is out to fuckin' kill you...because it is. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - BLINGMW - 09-20-2014 holy crap that was a quite a deer! How's the face? Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - Senor_Taylor - 09-21-2014 NOT THE PRIUS. NOOOOOOOOOOO. Glad it isn't totaled. We gotta keep MM's MPGs up. Glad you're alright, man. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - davej - 09-21-2014 Ooof. Glad you're alright. Metal and plastic can be replaced. Whole family with you at the time? Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - WRXtranceformed - 09-21-2014 Super glad you and the family are okay bro!! Maybe this is God telling you that you weren't meant to save the earth. :lol: Kidding, hope you have a quick repair process. Kind of surprised it isn't totaled out with both airbags deployed Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - Sully - 09-21-2014 Looks like a knee airbag went off too. Hmm, guess you shouldn't work on prius wedged under the dash without disconnecting the battery. Bet that would hurt if you shorted that thing out while wedged down there. Glad you both are all right and that the little one wasn't with you. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - Apoc - 09-21-2014 Wait, a Prius? Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - .RJ - 09-21-2014 This is the universe telling you that you shouldnt have bought a Prius. Glad errybody is ok! Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - ScottyB - 09-21-2014 good to hear you and Julie got out of that one with just about the minimal injuries, not to mention Nanners didn't have to go through that. The World has spoken. leave the prii to to the unwashed masses. you need two turbos and a gutter sized exhaust...i bet you won't see any more deer after that. you can't always beat those stupid things but at least you can make them deaf. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - CaptainHenreh - 09-21-2014 Yeah, we'll see if it's totaled, I kind of hope so, although I suspect I may just replace it with something similar. Hannah wasn't with us, thank goodness, it was just julie, myself, and a friend of ours. Gotta be at least 10k in damage between the entire front end, crumple zones, airbags, and windshield. Also, I think I saw a hole knocked in the inverter, which is gonna be $$$$ if it's damaged. But I couldn't pop the hood so who knows... Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - Senor_Taylor - 09-21-2014 Yeah, I should have said "Appears to maybe not have been totaled", since I don't know because you don't even know. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - ScottyB - 09-21-2014 the thought of a deer coming through the windshield always scares the hell out of me. glad you clipped it low. Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - rherold9 - 09-22-2014 All I was thinking tonight when I was driving from Baltimore to here was if I hit a deer it better total the car. Glad you are safe. I always wear my seat-belt and plan to never change that Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - SlimKlim - 09-22-2014 Glad you're ok man! Re: Wear your fucking seatbelt. - Jake - 09-22-2014 Damn. I wouldn't be surprised if the car was totaled, but I think it could really go either way. Glad you guys are OK! Seatbelts and airbags and modern safety are really pretty impressive. Any idea how fast you were going when you hit?
