On my way home from my parents house tonight, somewhere in Maryland (and 200 miles from home) I found that someone had set up a "deer slalom" in the middle of the interstate. I made it through, but I wound up +1 for my efforts. I almost missed it, I'm pretty sure it stayed in the box......

QUOTE (mitchntx @ Nov 28 2005, 08:58) Difference is, we don't layer the roadway with dust to "enhance" traction and we can run 315 Rs year round! That miracle dust did wonders for my braking distances. It's not like I don't have serious brakes on the car.... I lucked out that I managed to almost miss the deer. We just kept going the last 200 miles home (after I hopped out and did a quick inspection). I run through there all the time between my parents and my place. I know the area well....too well. If I'd have really hit it hard, I might have had a bad night. It was a bit before midnight (which didn't help) and we might have been there a while. I had plenty of warm clothes and "protection" if things went badly (I was going shooting with friends when I was home). I just called my insurance agent. Full coverage, 0 deductible. It won't cost me anything but frustration, so I'll let them handle it. I had a good shop recommended to me that won't drive the car and will lock it up, etc (good friends of a friend). So, I'll give these guys a shot. So far, total cost 0. (though I have to pay 20% of any rental car fees). |
