This happened on the way to the track today.

I would like to express the opinion that I dislike deer. A lot.



Edit: Putting the video in OP, just because it balances out the bad with the good.

That sucks. But I would say you got off easy.

Yeah, deer was running right to left in front of my car. I got the car as far right on the road as I could without going into the grass and braked, but just couldn't fit in behind the deer. He kind of flipped up and it wasn't a really solid hit, so it really just damaged the fender & headlight, and the bumper looks pretty untouched.

Looks like the Blue Barchetta is a tough car. Glad you didn't get hurt- easy to drive off into a ditch or the woods during something like that.

Paint matching is a known science in 2014, not a black art anymore. When it's fixed, you won't be able to tell the difference

So, this track day was a bunch of Camaros and Corvettes, mostly.

There were 4 C7's there.

All 4 C7's were the same color. Totally freaky since you would expect a red, yellow...black. Blue isn't supposed to be as popular. I'm wish we had found the time to get all 4 together for a picture.

Every fall I do my part to keep the deer off the streets and in the freezer. Just about all my family and friends have hit at least one including myself.

HAVE BOW/WILL TRAVEL!

Added a second video, with more cars...for perspective on how fast the new Stingray really is.
