In a bizarre turn of events, a New Jersey man preparing to sell his pickup truck had the misfortune of witnessing its value being reduced by $1,000 — all thanks to an airborne deer. And wouldn’t you know it, the deer decided to make its grand entrance at the exact moment the potential buyer arrived. Talk about lousy timing!
The incident was captured on security camera footage, which shows the unsuspecting deer hurtling through the air and straight into the pickup truck’s tailgate with all the grace of a flying brick. The impact was so severe that it left a gaping dent and cost the owner a cool grand in terms of the truck’s resale value.
The owner, who has chosen to remain anonymous (likely out of embarrassment), was shocked and bewildered by the bizarre turn of events. “I’ve heard of deer causing car accidents before, but I never thought it would happen to me,” he lamented. “I mean, what are the odds of a deer flying through the air and landing on my truck? It’s like winning the lottery, only way less fun.”
The potential buyer, for their part, was understandably put off by the incident. “I was interested in the truck until I saw the dent,” they said. “I mean, who wants to buy a truck that’s been battered by a rogue deer? It’s just not a good look.”
Experts say that incidents like this are extremely rare but not unheard of. “Deer are notoriously bad drivers,” said one wildlife biologist (who may or may not have been making a joke). “They’re always darting in and out of traffic and causing chaos. Sometimes they even take to the skies, apparently.”
Despite the setback, the pickup truck owner says he’s determined to sell his vehicle and move on with his life. “I’ve got a lot of interest in the truck, regardless of what that stupid deer did,” he said. “People know a good deal when they see one, even if it comes with a built-in dent. Plus, I hear there’s a market for vehicles with unique or unusual histories. Maybe this will make my truck more valuable in the long run.”
In the end, one can’t help but feel sorry for both the owner and the potential buyer. It’s not every day that one’s financial future is torpedoed by a four-legged creature with wings (wait, do deer have wings now?). All we can do is hope that the owner finds a more understanding buyer and that the deer made it out of the ordeal unscathed. After all, everyone deserves a happy ending, even if it comes at the expense of a slightly dented pickup truck.
