Default Talk about bad luck?

So my buddy and I are cruising down highway 90 East heading to Liberty to look at a 2001 Z28 and a f***ing deer darts out in front of me in the G35. I nailed it at 55 and it did a fair amount of damage to the front, but nothing too serious. I just dropped the SS and a nice amount of $$ off earlier today to the body shop to get a complete new paint job, and now this. Best part is the deer took off after a few dozen summersaults and 360's and the Camaro was sold we were going to look at. Don't know if I'm going to report it to the insurance until I get an estimate. I know it's gotta be done by the 20th b/c me and the ole lady are cruising to Cali for turkey day. I guess it coulda been worst though, I'm just ranting.

Ya, it's all good though. She'll be out of the shop by the time I return from work next week. I'm dropping it off tomorrow. What mods have you done thus far besides the exhaust?

When I come back from work and vacation next month I'll give you a shout, Want to see ur set up and bs a bit and what not. My # is always the same.

At least your alright. A couple of weeks ago my cousin and some friends was cruising home when a deer came right out in front of him. He turned the wheel at the right time to go with the deer. He clipped his back legs and sent him flying into the woods. Minor damage to the car. Got to watch out for them crazy little animals.
