A&Q about Lotus
Q:
This happened 30 minutes ago, 1/2 mile from my house. I decided to drive the truck instead of the Elise because it's supposed to rain. Imagine what would have happened if it was the Elise?
A:
go buy a lottery ticket
A:
Wow you really shouldn't park in the high speed deer lane......
Just kidding. Glad it wasn't your Lotus! Amazing what a deer can do to a car.
A:
I hope you know how to make jerky.
A:
But just imagine if Saturn made the clams how much fun this would have been.
A:
if you drove the elise, it would not have happened because you would not have been there at the same time.

Dietrich, maybe if you had driven the SLR, the telephone pole wouldn't have been there!
A:
Hang it up by its rear end and grab yourself a sharp knife. Then, do the same thing, but to the deer.
A:
What are you going to do with the deer?
A:
Venison, yummy. Eat what you kill.

I agree
A:
I still have venison from last year, so I dropped by a Mennonite farmer's house down the road, and he's butchering it. He offered me a loin, but I have plenty.

I've often wondered this. You hit a deer and you get to keep it? It probably varies state-to-state. We live in MI and my wife was hitting them frequently for awhile, but she certainly wasn't going to load one up into the car...

Actually, if I drove the Elise I would have had to have gotten it out of the garage, and I would have been driving faster, so the two may have evened each other out. Also, there were two deer, and the second one hit me, so I had two chances to score.
But you're probably right, proving that the Elise is the safer vehicle

My mom hit a massive deer once when she borrowed a friends "family truckster", and it became lodged beneath the car. Various gruesome attempts at removing the carcass proved futile. Finally a flatbed had to come out and lift the car so the beast could be removed. In lieu of payment, the driver accepted the deer. Drove by the shop the next day and there it was, hanging by it's hind legs from a tree, draining. Good as currency in some parts.

what are mennonites exactly? I know that they're similar to the amish, but thats about all I know.

That's about right, just very strict Christians that live a simple life, usually farmers. There are varying orders that follow different guidelines, at one extreme no cars and electricity, and ranging up to pretty usual folks. My neighbors wear mennonite dress, hats and prayer coverings, but drive a car. A black car.

A:
If that had been my suv, the next picture would have been me driving back and forth over the deer's head.
A:
i wouldn't recommend eating road kill. this particular deer may have just broke its neck when hitting the car, but typically if you hit a deer it bruises the meat which makes it inedible...or...very nasty tasting.
