Default Wrecked the car last nite..........

So.........I took the car out last nite for a little spirited romp. Unfortunately for me, I had the race tires on it from the last autox and was too lazy to change them.

It started raining, and so I started making my way back home. I was on a twisty road not far from my house when something big and tan and covered with fur jumped out in front of me (RE: Deer).

I slammed on the brakes, and swerved at the same time. Big no-no in a car that is overbraked with no ABS, in the rain with slicks. I spun and tagged the guard rail that was alongside the road, thankfully the rail was there to stop me from going off the side and down the embankment, but it did a number on the car. I then bounced back acrossed the road an clipped a small tree which fell and took out the windshield.

I took this pic this morning at the shop it was towed to..........

no way, the date was put up in the corner to cover up the real date. I know if tifo really wrecked his car there would be HUNDREDS of photos. I know I would start snapping photos before the tires stopped spinning if it was my car!
Tifo, I call april fools on this one unless you can produce a photo showing the rear hatch with your red wing on it!

(*unless this really happened then I am really sorry)

Tifo - you are so busted. No way you'd be driving around on autox tires days after an event.
