Well, I was on my way to work today, this fine sunny Sunday morning. I'm coming around a curve, and ahead, I see 2 animals off on my right side fighting/scuffling with each other. At first, I thought it was 2 dogs, but as I get closer, I see that they are 2 deer. Uh oh, I think to myself as I start slowing down. This could be real bad. Sure enough, just as I get to within 10 feet of them, they both decide to run out right in front of me. OH CRAP!!! Fortunately, I had begun slowing down, and I slammed on the brakes and just missed them (rather, they just missed me, heheh). I thought they were gonna run right into me. Mind you, I had just gotten the LS out of the body shop after rolling the fenders, re-aligning the rear bumper, and paint matching the front, side skirts and rear bumpers!! Anyway, they both pass me from right to left, then they split up. I start back on my way, and one of them starts sprinting the same direction I'm going, then starts accelerating. Oh heck no!!!! Is she challenging me to a race?! Well, not wanting the deer to run in front of me again, and not wanting to get owned by a deer, I punch it and pull away. She was doing pretty good up til 20mph, cuz she got the drop on me, but in the end, Bambi got OWNED!!!! So, I guess I killed a deer after all, heheh!!!

 

This is an LS story, but just wanted to share with my GS brothers. Well, I was on my way to work today, this fine sunny Sunday morning.

lol... good story..

should have tapped that with the celly camera

 

now thats a funny story.. especially you were just out of the body shop that would have blown the big one hitting some deer. nice KILL !

 

Nice "kill" story...LOL

 

thanks for sharing. good story

 

You know Adrian, come to think of it, this was technically my first "kill" in the LS, bwahahaha!!

 

Yeah, the LS got it's first kill. Now I'll have to put a deer silhoutte on the side, heheh.

 

lol...well its good to hear the LS didnt suffer any damage.

 

lol. score one for the LS.

 

Next prey is the cheetah

 

wow, I was expecting you to say you hit the deer...then I would ask for some deer Jerky but nice "kill" none the less

 

I don't even know what to say to this hilarious story, it is absolutely awesome!

 

Amusing.

When ever I see eyeball reflections, I slow down...law of Murphy...they will run out right in front of you.

I dunno where this vid came from...a buddy sent it to me and I've put it on my site for now. A vid of a deer running onto a race course and getting air after being picked up by the race car. It is graphic but not gory...just imagine a deer going flying:

(I"ll keep this there for the next 2 days.)

 

Video seems fake... but that's a whole another topic.

Anyways, the previous owners of my LS nailed a deer. I never got many details on the accident, but either it was really bad, or really minor. I know one of the headlight assemblies is ushed back, and my fender is dented, but I wouldn't be suprised if the whole hood, grille and other headlight are not original.
