I Miss Beemerdons!
Got so involved with the "Exploding FJR" thread, I almost forgot to post this little story.
Happened @ 10:30am this Sunday 11/6.
Took a little trip this weekend (purple route below) to Cedar Key, Florida, a quaint little fishing village off the Florida coast about 15 miles west of the former town of Rosewood, site of a massacre in 1923, chronicled in THIS MOVIE.
Spent the night there, got WAAAAAY shitfaced at Frog's Landing on Frogaritas (on the rocks, no salt). :drinks:
Woke up early, got some eggs & grits, then hit the road (red route below) to head home.
Around 10:30 am, just east of Silver Springs (where the Johnny Weismuller "Tarzan" movies were filmed) in the Ocala Nat'l Forest, a deer comes bounding out of the trees, and gets hammered by what I could only describe as a brand-new C6 Corvette. I'm guessing brand-new, 'cause it's displaying a dealer tag.
Being the low-slung vehicle Corvettes are, the deer goes straight up the hood, smashes the windshield, bounces off the roof, smashes the back glass and lands right on the hood of the Chevy Cobalt behind the 'vette. The Cobalt is ALSO carrying dealer tags, so I'm guessing the two cars are in convoy.
The 'vette driver understandably freaks out, crosses the centerline and center punches an oncoming Camry at about 30mph. Meanwhile, the driver of the Cobalt reacts JUST as badly, loses it and nails the same Camry.
Now, the Corvette, still moving, after hitting the Camry, spins into the Cobalt (poor bastard) and hammers it in the left rear quarter, putting IT into a spin, where it procedes to take out some non-descript pickup truck in the oncoming lane.
And there I am, stopped in the middle of the road, astride my FJR, watchng all this in astounded amazement.
Y'know...those damn deer really ARE a nuisance!

Glad you watched rather than participated, in any case.
