Think having a Silver RX8 means bad luck? Well maybe Blue is taking over...

Some of you may remember what happened to my car a few weeks ago, where a fight at left 5+ dents on my RX8(https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/fight-bar-gives-rx8-5-new-dents-165778/). As a closure to that story, I got my car back on Thursday and it looked almost new. I was very happy to have her back...that was only the beginning...

As I was driving home from work last night, some magical baby deer decides to run out of the woods to play with me. It got more than it bargained for and may it rest in peace on the side of the road. (For those of you that don't get it, it means i hit a deer and its dead.)

The RX8 is currently not drivable as the deer broke through the front bumper and damaged the radiator, causing all the coolant to leak out.

EDIT:so i finally had a chance to take a look at it during the day(and tow it to body shop). Looks like damaged radiator and oil cooler, missing fog light, destroyed lip, grill is toast, plastic undercovers missing/destroyed, deer blood all on undercarriage(from front to rear), deer fur everywhere, plus whatever else i missed.

 

man, that's a horrible string of bad luck.

 

Bummer. Curse of the blue . . . hhmmm . . . other WBs have had run-ins with deer. You may be onto something.

 

I've had 3 deers jump out at me at high rates of speed in this car. lol. Never hit a deer so far, but I doubt I would have been able to dodge them if it wasn't for this cars agility. *knocks on wood*

 

i think the same thing happened to CoolBlueDad, and he had a winning blue 8 as well... maybe that color blue does something to deer that attracts them?

sorry to hear about this and hope u get it fixed soon.

 

dang sorry to hear about your car. glad you are ok though

 

If you were driving a red mustang with a german shepard in the passenger seat, this wouldn't have happened.

 

Yeah, but if it did you'd never notice anything.

thats awful man.. i just think that the insurance company will be thrilled to hear from you again...oh well thats what insurance is for. glad that you're alright and didnt wreck the car trying to avoid the deer or hit a larger deer that would have done more damage to your or the car.

 

yea im glad it was Bambi or else my car might have possibly been totaled and me being injured.

 

I just winced imagining that happening to me. Better safe than sorry- glad that was a small deer!!

 

Damn man what a stroke of bad luck... what shall we call this new found curse?

 

once your car gets ran over by a tank, then I think it's safe to say it's cursed!

 

I seem to recall a PS pic of a tank & 8 . . .

 

i feel your pain. i got in a fight with a low trailer hitch and lost...i had to get a new front spoiler...and all new splash guards.

i hope ur WB gets better.

 

Man that sucks! Well, the main thing is you are ok! Hope you can get this taken cared of soon.

 

^^ true . . . it is an opportunity to upgrade that front bumper.
