Unhappy WRECKED Z...totaled

Well, this was my Z that I owned for 1.5 weeks. Track addition with 8k. Ran it off the road trying to miss a deer. I am now looking for another. I was on Popes Head Rd in Fairfax. Beware if you are on it at night!! I ended up taking out a street sign, cutting 2 trees in half (8in diameter), going airborne about 4.5ft, and ended up in a 2ft ditch about 200m into the woods. I want to cry just thinking about it. I will say, I walked away with no injuries. One small bruis (?) on my hip from the belt. I would (and will) get another just for safety reasons.

I know that road too, plenty of deer around. Reminds me of Waples Mill Rd, all sorts of animals running around. Instinct is to swerve instead of hitting the deer, I can't imagine many people making the split decision to plow right through Bambi. Glad you were ok and didn't go sideways or something.

Back to your brakes...if you can pull if off take them off dude! Gold Brembos would loomk so nice on my PPW I'll give you money to make it worth your time plus my stockers...and we have Evolution nearby.
