So Sasha did some work to my car while i was away in Vegas and the car felt real good.
I hit the track at Dunnville today with the rest of S1DC and was sliding the shit out of it and despite some issues the car was feeling very good.
My dad came with me to the track and we left around 5:00pm to get home in time for dinner.
On HWY 3 heading out of dunnville, in an 80kph zone, i was doing maybe 85kph driving straight. No fucking around.
all of a sudden, and for the first time in my life, i see a pair of deer chillin in the centre of the road.
Of course i cursed aloud, but i did not go off the road, swerving for animals is the stupidded thing you can do. It is because i didnt swerve that my father and i are still alive.
however, the coupe did not fair so well.
At the moment there is dead dear spattered all over the car. The front bumper, hood, headlight housing, drivers side of the rad support etc. etc. are all fucked.
when i went to get back into the car i got a handful of venison, if you catch me.
have to do a more thorough inspection but i get the feeling a part out is in order, that is of course if someone is ready to buy a badass motor set.
I managed to drive home only on account of having an AEM on a MAP sensor… thank god for those things.
if you have more than $10k sitting around then sure… i dont give a shit if the car is damaged the sum of the parts are worth more than the market value of the car.
here are pics: this is not my usual camera, hence the lower quality. my apologies
Here you can see the hood is fucked and the fender is totally useless. there are pieces of deer all over the fender, stuck in the friggin wheel, to the headlight housing etc. etc.
Incredibly, the carbon fiber lip survided… it sustained heavier damage on a date with a curb a few weeks ago on the other side.
Rad support is compromised, bumper might actually be salvageable, but would be easier to just get a new one. side marker went bye bye
I dont know what part of the deer exploded all over the side of the car… perhaps the brain?
I did stop to see the dead deer, it appeared to be intact for the most part.
i was going to have the exterior redone anyways, i do work for CARSTAR afterall… but it really is a good reason to start fresh… plus it would cost a fair buck to have the rad support replaced etc. etc.
i already have all the parts secured if i want to do that.
if i put the money into fixing this then i also have to do all the other work i was planning on doing to the car this winter… all those dollars equate to much more than the chassis is worth.
i’m going to put a interest check thread together for the motor. if that goes, then i’ll part most of it and retain what i need for whatever i build next.
