Sucks to hear man. I kinda feel you pain, even though I escaped with less damage.

I was driving my Z32 once, and my borther was driving my Isuzu Rodeo. I was in a right lane, and he was in left one, probably about 10 ft away from me or so. We weren't speeding or anything. My girlfriend was talking to me and I was just looking straight on the road. Well, appearantly there was a deer in the woods that I did not see. I think he got scared of the SUV and started running towards me (in front of the SUV, but right into my side). I just saw my girlfriend start wobbeling something really fast....I turn my head and see the damn deer running towards my window. I was going 35 mph and that thing was outrunning me. I slam my brakes really hard and see the deer jumping over my Z. I though I hit it cause jumped right through my Z (and Z is pretty wide). I was so pissed that I got out of the car and ran after the deer. I had my Jetta shift knob in my hand and a deer had no where to run cause of the fence, I nailed that sucker right in the *** with that shift knob.

When I came back, I though my Z was a toast, but no scratches, when the deer lended it just punched a hole through my corner marker.

I almost had an encounter with a deer while flying through the back roads and hills of Austin. It could have been bad but the Brembos saved me!

I think they do work, you can install it behind the grill , when you take off your front bumper, thats not a bad idea, my dad had this on his truck :-d

I got same thing about deer's. Whenever I'am in my car or use my Bike, my eyes are wide open and drive with caution.

Did you guys hear about a guy who was driving and he came across a dead dear that was laying on the road. He had sex or raped the dead dear.


The bad thing was that, it was right infront of an elementary school.

Sick pervert!

I have always been paranoid about deer at night. Sometimes there is nothing you can do. I almost hit a huge dead deer in the road. It was at night and right over the crest of a hill. Luckily I was in my evo and was able to swerve around it and maintain control (rather easily I might add). The guy behind me was not so lucky.
