What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Mt Tam I am · 11-02-2012, 11:15 AM

So yesterday, I complained of too much traffic. On my drive home I had all the cars ahead of me pull off. After nearly 2 miles of unobstructed turns, the weather changed from dry and sunny to wet with fog. I had the VDC off so I was extra aware. Still it lit up the traction control light without consequence. Another mile and a half of twisty's, I met my first car who was still doing 70 in a 40 MPH zone. I got past him and all the way home was faster than usual. Yee Haw!

I love these Michelins in the wet.

Today started well. I zipped along without anybody in front of me. When I finally saw a car up ahead and I thought "let's catch up". just as I wound out second and put it in third I thought I saw movement in the sunlight and shade. Sure enough, a 4 point buck scrambled over a guard rail and into the road just to test my brakes or be killed.

Holy Toledo, my brakes grabbed and I heard my tires as I rapidly approached the buck. I do not know what exactly happened to my wrist but I hurt it somehow grabbing the wheel hard (?) as my other hand came back from the shift. I veered into the on coming lane a little and then back into my own (straight line braking). I missed the deer by two feet in the end so no big deal. My wrist ached for ten minutes then stopped.

I caught the car ahead a few seconds later and they too pulled off, to give me a clear drive the rest of my way.

What a day. The excitement never stops when you drive a Z.

Def. one of the reasons I prefer to live in the desert, and city... nothing like that will run out in front of you! Must have been exciting, in a scary kind of way!

Right now there is a huge amount of deer "migrating" (or something), anyway if i go out for a drive on some backroads there is a 100% chance (no literally) of like 5 deer jumping out during the drive. I need to drive at like 35 mph, and at some points i come to a complete stop with a deer standing in the road, beeping does nothing it just stands there. So i need to drive around it. Welcome to PA.
