My gf has a 89 camaro RS and she was tailing a tractor trailer one morning at 5 am on her way to work last winter on a country road and the big rig smashed a deer and she didnt see it, it went under his rig and she ran right over it. For christmas I had just given her a brand new front lip for her ground effects and had it paintedand when she hit the deer it peeled it back and all the paint chipped and flaked off of it. The clip was completely unharmed (thank god for neoprene) all i had to do was repaint it. Also somehow it locked up her shifter cable (looked completely fine when i pulled it off) so she got a B&M ratchet shifter and another new paint job on the front of the car. The phone call that morning was something to be desired and nothing beats the smell of bar-b-qued deer at 5 am in 17 degree weather. To this day when I change her oil I still find deer hair under her car in small areas. But the car is still in mint condition.

What was your first clue?

They teach you not to swerve to miss a dear not because you might end up in a ditch, but because if you hit a tree you have a good chance of dying.

There was no tree. I dont freak out when deer get in my way. I looked at the ditch, it looked like the better option. Hit a deer & fck up my car or go through the ditch & be perfectly fine. It still would have been find if I had just went a little to the left of the covert.

I'm shooting for saturday, really depends on when paint booth is not in use. Friend owes a favor, soooo.
It's ready to drive now technically. lights working again & everything, drives good & all. Just as far as before it's completely done should be this weekend.
