Curse of the Blue? Deer hits car
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.

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.
