but i guess flat lander noobs don't know to cover the brake around blind corners
yeah really, i've been mashing through a 10 mile twisty commute about 3 days a week for the past 6 years and have only seen deers in the middle of the road about 50 times and 1/2dozen close calls. It really doesn't happen as often as trees jumping in front of you.

Hey man, I stand by my deer story!
And if you haven't seen it yet, here's my WRX after a tree head on at 35mph
I walked away with some whiplash... Going 35-40mph to ZERO in less then a thousandth of a second hurts... Not only your neck, but everything inside you... It's like getting hit by a bomb... And I've gotten hit by explosives before and I can say that they are pretty damn similar... That crazy shock wave that hits you from every angle. For me it was 3 deer, not one, and the road was just barely wider then my car!
Didn't help that I had 3 "assault weapons" in my trunk which I forgot about, so when the cops asked me if I had weapons on me, I said no... Then they find 3 crazy rifles and tons of hi cap mags on me... Hahha, fun times.
Here's the video of the aftermath:

The impact SHATTERED the transmission, look at the shifter and take note of the sound!
An i-club member actually bought the car when it was totalled.

At least I got an STi out of it.
