Well that was exciting, for any of you considering an S4 purchase be assured that it is a very safe care. After hitting a deer at nice highway speeds, with some smelly airbag deployment, I have only some little red rashes on my arms to show for my experience.

Unfortunately my S4 looks like it was dropped off a cliff nose first. So if you are on 280 by woodside road anytime soo, see the long trail of deer parts, and think of me and my car.

Honestly, I don't think it can be fixed, but we shall see, I am sure if they try to fix it, months will pass before I get it back.

Sigh, well good thing I got that 40% UUC shifter in there.

Default Years ago I use to race my V8 Vega on 84 after 2am

Besides me, deer were the most dangerous thing on the road. I'm glad you're ok.
