I was getting ready to pass a guy and pow! Scared the shit out of me.
This car won't be making it to NG either.

damn poor rx7. please tell me the deer at least died
Sumbitch, Paul. :sad:
Wait, So your 3000gt is down also!!
Glad to see the damage looks minimal.
I'm sorry Paul.
Poor FC. :(
Glad you're okay, it could have been much worse.

Yeah the deer didn't suffer much lol, when I drove back by he/she was just 20-30 feet from the road.
Yeah it has a noise coming from the trans, it's getting worse quickly and I don't have time or money to mess with it.Quote:

Damn Paul, that sucks :( Sorry to hear that. Can't see any damage to the hood or fenders in the picture (although you know how blind I am), so repairing it shouldn't be too bad.
Glad it wasn't the TT but still, damn luck!
It's pushed in about a 1/2 inch or so. It shouldn't be too bad to fix.Quote:

I'd be at home crying if it were.Quote:

Hell, we saw more deer on the interstate during the daytime than night time in Kentucky and Ohio... I guess it because they grown corn along there.
OUCH!
It could have been a lot worse.
The headlight being up must have helped stop it from rolling up on the car and hitting the windshield.
I've got an extra one from the VR4 you can fab up. :rolleyes:
Yeah I've had 2 close calls in the last two weeks. They are everywhere!Quote:

Glad it wasn't worse than it was Paul. Looks like a headlight mechanism and maybe a little body work. Damn deer make me nervous. The most I ever saw was in Western Texas in November (mating season) There must have been a deer on the side of the road every 2 miles and dead ones every 4 miles. This went on for more than 300 miles.
Oh well Paul, looks like it's time to say to hell with it, cash it out for the insurance and buy a turbo FD :D
I was holding out because of work and the car. Lot's of variables this year but it was going to take a lot to keep me away. I love seeing all my extended family at NG and BRG. I should be there Thursday so don't get too hammered before then. lolQuote:

I don't know how I've kept from hitting one over the years. I realized how lucky I was later today. Every week I've seen one run out in front of me for the last month and a half. Just a split second difference I could of took a deer in the face. lolQuote:

But yeah seriously man, little body damage like that is no big deal. Good thing nothing happened to you though. Those bastards can do some serious damage to cars, and to the people riding in them. So you know, happy thoughts and shit.
Glad you are ok. Hate the deer died. Hugs!
I had a mini heart attack... I thought it was the sl-4! ;)
Btw, I will give you your boost controller back at NG. I plan on coming but only Friday night and sat :(
Cool, yeah I wish I could make it all week but Thursday is the soonest I can get there.Quote:
