Well, another GC8 is down today after I got into an accident. A deer popped out right in front of me from the side of the road. I hit/clipped it, swerved and lost control. I hit some black ice or something because I slid sideways really far until I went halfway into a ditch, clipped something on the mountain and flipped completely. I was only going 35 when this happened.
Only pic that I have:

I haven't been a part of the DI community for long, but I hope this isn't the end of it. I'm looking for a WRX, or another 2.5RS if I can even find one. The bay area is out of them from what I've seen.

I was actually out on Mt. Hamilton in the bay area. Last night was cold, cars had frost on them and thats what lead me to believe I hit some ice. It's been known to snow on Hamilton, so it gets pretty cold up there.
Anyway, the car is probably going to be taken by the insurance company and totaled. Oh, and the funny thing is, the deer was nowhere in sight. I'm pretty sure I didn't kill it.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

damn that sucks! glad to hear your okay! Makes me even more nervous about deer. Theyre everywhere in truckee. I'm thinking of converting to HID and mounting some hella 500's to give me some extra light for night driving.

Thank you all again for the kind words. I actually may be looking for a GD chassis vehicle now.
Random, but anybody know when the XXL hoodies will be back in stock? I've been waiting for those for a while now haha.
