Default Share my pain

Just thought I'd share my pain. Just about done with body mods on the car. Greddy lip, Greddy sides, JP Viszage tail, headlight covers. Smoked a deer the other night at "just a tad" above the speed limit. Note the Greddy lip is completely gone. You can't really see it in the pics but the side of the car is completely red with blood and meat. I do like how the lip of the rear rim scooped up so much blood though.

She should go in the shop either today or Mon. If I can figure out how to post pics there will be a before and some after pics.

I'm suprised he didn't come through the windshield too. The airbags didn't deploy. I'm glad they didn't but now I'm wondering if they should have.

Just to make myself feel better I did go kick him in what was left of his ear!

that had to have been scary dude.
You decinigrated 1/2 your bumper and fender. HTF does that happen?

Glad your ok though. Could have done worse.

Looks like the deer lost that chicken fight. The blood gives off a nice scheme to the paint job.

Glad you are OK. You are VERY lucky!! Lot's of people killed annually from deer.

Some years ago in SW Missouri I hit a deer at night doing 75-80! Fortunately I was in my company car. I'm still nervous driving at night.

Ha....I have Injen intake, Kinetix plenum, Kinetix high flow cats and Injen exhaust, didn't do the trick.

Speed limit through there is 60mph. I was doing a little over double that, but slowing down. I saw two does come walking onto the road, left to right, and made sure they made it across just in time to see the buck following at a run a ways behind. Too late.

Ironic thing was, I know why the buck was running after them. I was driving to a gals house for the same reason.
