For you non 3siers I will post this here

So last night I was on my way home around 2:30. I'm doing about 65 on a curvy section of road that I drive all the time and have done much faster on. There were patchy areas of fog but it wasnt intense or anything.

I rounded and about a 45* curve when there it was. Not one but two deer in the middle of my lane.

I locked the brakes up hoping theyd get out of my way before I got to them because I knew I wasnt going to stop in time. But they didnt. BAM BAM

I went up the road and pulled off to the side to see how bad it was. I was thinking hoods destroyed, there goes $1200. Headlights another $600. Front bumper I wasnt too worried about since I plan on getting a new one anyway.

I get out and wtf? Headlights are still in tact, hood is perfect. Only damage I could see was my marker lights are cracked up now.

I turned back around to make sure both deer werent still in the middle of the road and fortunately they werent. I went further up and turned around again but jumped out to look again.

Only other thing I could see was where my fog light lens already had a chunk missing, the lens was knocked completely out.

I decided just to come home and Id look at it once I woke up.

Looking it over I think the only other "damage" I can see is where some paint is already flaking off the front bumper due to a quicky paint job last time, some more paint was knocked off.

Other than that I think I knocked the already wonky alignment further out.

I got lucky. I must have caught glancing blows to both deer. I would have thought with as low as my car sits they would have went right over the top.

I'll count my blessings on this one.

yea thank god you and ur car are ok, good thing u didnt swerve of the road and caused more damage. glad ur ok.. reminds me one time i was driving home late at night and i was doin about 45 boostin and there was a deer in my lane it looked up and must have heard my turbos spooling and turn and ran as i slamed on my brakes, deer dont like high pitched noises from my understanding bc they sell things that go in ur bumper that make a high pitch noise at like 30mph to scare away deer. but glad ur ok.

Those whistlers dont work. My dad has hit two deer with having those whistlers on his Ranger. He hit one having them on the Avenger they used to have.

Its just loud noises they dont like. Back when my exhaust was loud as fuck deer would run before I even got close.

I definitely caught the one flush and went over top it. When I went back I found the one lying on the side of the road and it wasnt going to be getting up and moving.

Oh yeah Emilie what kind of deal can Hans get me on 99 turns?
