Driving out to my friends house last night at about 9:00pm, right after replacing my spark plugs to my new NGK Iridiums. Driving around, the car felt much more responsive! So Im havin some fun. There is a parkway (sort of a mini-highway) that goes for about 3 miles stright to my buddie's house with three lanes, brand new, and perfectly flat with just a few lights inbetween. Because its new, not many people use it yet....not many except kids that realize its a perfect place to race. So I come up to a light minding my own buisness, and this guy in a little yellow chevy S-10 pulls up on my left, rumbling like crazy. I ask him whats in it, he says a 350 vett engine. Yells over and asks for a race...what the hell...my car feels fast tonight, I might stand a chance. Light turns green, and were off....pulls in front of me fast at the start, but his gearing was real short and midway through 2nd I catch up. By the time I hit 3rd, hes at the end of his gear again shifing to 4th. I pull in front by a nose at about 80mph. By this point he is out of gear and I leave totaly leave him at 110. I slow to a stop at the next light and he congradulates me, and takes a left at the light. By the next light, another car pulls up to my right. Its just another stupid riced out civic hatchback, full of oversized gauges, stickers, fart-pack exhaust, and a cartoon-like body kit. Three idiot college guys packed in a overstyled sardine can give me the finger and yell out in a drunken slur "were gunna smoke yur asszz!" So...still high off beating the Corvette S-10, I REALLY feel like embarrassing these guys. Light turns green, and its on. Stayed dead even with them at half throttle till the top of 2nd gear, then very blankly turned, smiled....and punched it. Phwooosh! The Eaton roared and screamed as I left them standing still. By about 3 car lenghts ahead, just to piss them off I decide I will switch lanes and get in front of them. I look back again just to make sure they are still that far behind before getting over....THEN IT HAPPENS. Out of nowhere my entire car is rocked from impact, and I look forward just in time to see the SEVERED leg of a 8 point buck roll off of my windshield. Oh my god I just hit a dear at close to 100mph. I pull off to the side of the road in shock not really aware of anything. Get out of the car and walk down the road a bit to see a very large dear mangled and twitching. I felt sorry for it so I broke its neck. I DIDNT feel so sorry for it after I saw my car.... Front bumper gone, hood and quarter panels crumpled in. A hole in the radiator, headlights gone, front beams torqued. Put in a radiator from u-pull-it this afternoon to get to work tommorow, luckly the engine still runs fine. Went to a body shop.....damage is way more than the car's value, at least $4500. Called my insurance company and they are writing me a check for the value next week. Its an 89' with 170k on it, so I wont get much. I've spent over $8k in this thing so far, so I've decided to just buy back the salvage title and deal with it. The front end seems stright enough, and if I replace the hood, quarter panels and repaint it, it should be ok. Im sorry about the length of this, but Im just sharing my pain. If anyone has some headlights, or a hood, bumper or whatever that they could sell to me cheap, I would really appreciate it. What a crappy weekend....
