Does anybody else notice that rx7's seem to attract deer and make them jump out in front of you?My car seems to attract deer and not little ones neither since I've gotten my car Ive hit 3 deer ( all bucks) and I've only had my rx7 since august.Thankfully the rx7s unique bumper design they only ever mess up my headlight buckets and that nice piece of metel that goes in between them.Fortuantly for me the metal part between the headlights is easy to fix even if it gets creased,but the head light buckets are hard to find sometimes.

Three deer and only that damage all three times ?

Are you taking them out at the knees as you drift around them or some **** ? A deer can demolish a 7 very easily.

Your exhaust is too quiet, so they can't hear you coming....

I have to deal with a lot of deer here in Michigan as well. Improving your headlights is a good place to start. I ran heavy gauge wiring and relays for mine, then installed XtraVision bulbs, which do a great job.

Other than that, just make sure you drive with your eyes open...

yeah pretty much all the deer I've hit are always late at night on a rural road. Also the 3 I hit Ive hit in the legs cause the always end up doin cart wheels over the car granted though Ive replaced my front bumper skin 1 time since Ive hit 3 deer.Also I live in pennsylvania and deer are all over the place. Also For the guy who got me with the B.s. Meter pretty funny but trust me ive hit deer on 3 seprate occasions.As i said before though I live in pa and i was on a rural road so automatically the posted speed limit becomes double

What he put the Bs meter up for was the fact that you stated you hit bucks and only did minor damage. I hit a yearling once after slowing way down waiting to see if was going to cross or not. It decided to jump in front of the car to follow the rest of his buddies. It destroyed the header panel and the right front fender. This was at a speed of around 15mph.

In your case it would of totalled the vehicle. Deer do not magically clear the car. Those cartwheels would be taking a major chunk of the sheetmetal with them. Even hitting a wild Turkey can total your car.


Ever thought of installing those electronic deer whistles on the front bumpers?
And how about slowing down to avoid out driving your headlamps?

I believe him, BUT I'm guessing he drives way toooooooooooo slow. I expect a broken windshield with the deer's head on your shoulder, because of how low a 7 sits.

Score one point for David Grimes for posting the first BS indicator & one half point for mannyvidal for posting the second BS indicator. We have a couple deer in Wisconsin & I have never met anyone in my lifetime (ya know the song about the back side of 30, double that with a few more years) that had hit 3 deer say nothing about 3 bucks in their life time.

hackthegibson24, $hit happens when ya drive around within the zoo.

lol, i believe him. did the same thing in my neon... i know its not a rex... but still, i only had a broken headlight bracket... its still good lol, but it shakes over bumps...

Ok hit a deer going about 50-70 mpg with a low front end bumper they almost instantly go airbourne . Or like in football when people get hit low they do become airbourne doing cartwheels over the other person. maybe i just got lucky but it did do damage to my car that im not denying and other then hood dents and headlight buckets my cars fine.Old ladys have done more damage to my car then the deer.

I arrested a couple dudes one night that had affixed spears to a corvette and had impaled one deer and were working on the second. Expensive deer they were!!!!go ahead with your BS meter They cost over 100.00 each plus headlights.
