The footage was captured from a home security camera, showing a deer unexpectedly running and leaping over two cars in a driveway, eventually smacking into a 2007 [Chevy Silverado](). The height, distance, and grace of the deer's jump are truly remarkable, even if it couldn't stick the landing. However, the deer's timing couldn't have been worse. According to Vaughn's post, the [Silverado]() the deer crashed into had recently been posted to Facebook Marketplace and had a potential buyer lined up. In the video, you can see the alleged buyer pulling up in front of the house as the deer suddenly sprints into view. From the right of the screen, the deer leaps and clears both a Pontiac Vibe and a [Honda CR-V]() with ease, as if it had wings. It then lands belly-first onto the side of the Silverado's bed, denting it right in front of the owner and buyer. After it landed in the bed of the truck, it awkwardly jumped out, kicking the truck again on the way down. I'm not sure I've ever seen a video that features such graceful athleticism followed by such an epic fail, along with the worst timing possible. You can see the buyer getting out of their [Tahoe]() as the deer hits the truck they're looking to buy. I would paid money to have been there for that conversation. Here's the thousand-dollar question: did the buyer still buy the truck even with its fresh damage? Replying to some commenters, Vaughn claims they did buy it, just with a $1,000 discount. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
