The same happend when i hit a deer years ago in my camaro. It slid right on to my hood and was on my windsheild. Since in reaction i slammed on my brakes, it slide off hopped up and ran off. just scratch on the hood, and a little bit of fur here and there, some blood ect. I hope the best turns out for you.

Finished my twin bottle setup today. I was having some pressure drop at the track which I think may have cost me a little top end and I already had an extra bottle. All I needed was a Y fitting, 2 short pieces of -6 hose, and another bottle bracket.

I'm only going to run one bottle heater for now. I plan on heating one bottle up real good before I leave home and the other one once I get to the track.

Any of you guys go shooting around Des Moines? Was wondering about some places to go here in the Des Moines area. I have been going out to Banner off 69, but I am looking for another place as well.

The only place that I know of open to the public any more is the outdoor range out at Big Creek.

I gave up on weight reduction with this car! I figure the weights in a good place. I hope to gain 2 mph by reducing the pressure drop on the top end.
oh by the way I saw the underhood pics of your car...that thing looks bad a$$.

I'm thinking they might say she's totalled out. We'll see?
this very top picture is from ONE WEEK before the accident (after I got a new paint job and put on my Flowmaster exhaust...
oh... and I hit a doe.
bitch ran off with my headlight (and everything else inside it apparently)
Drivers side fender...
did a number to the hood...

so what do you guys think? i've heard from different people the shop will (more than likely) total it out. which could be a could thing i suppose? I'd buy it back and fix it up since its just cosmetic... engine and everything is fine.
I turn 21 on May 4th (happy birthday to me...)
thank god we've got these stimulus checks coming... mines going towards the deductible ...

Jaydub, hard to tell how much damage there is, from the pics, could be a total loss though. Take it from an adjuster, make sure you get a good deal, if you end up buying it back.
