I saw that they were on the old race track between cold water and laurel canyon. Seeing this I figured they were hot dogging. This is a crazy twisty road in some spots but it’s also a normal country two lane. It looks pretty straight where the crashed. That stuff they block off the gutters in kiddie bowling wouldn’t have helped these clowns. No road racing involved here just bad driving or bad luck.Give CA is the nanny states of all nanny states, I'm surprised they haven't straightened the road and installed nurf bumpers everywhere for their own good.

I remember when wheel spin was a bad thing. Now it’s how you get bragging rights. I used to get into it with the kids at work about my grandpa car. ‘66 Dart w a surplus MP circle track 360. They don’t care how fast it is in the quarter anymore. I remember one late night after work we went behind the Home Depot and I did my best Don the Snake Prudohme burnout to shut them all up. It had to be an eighth of a mile long patch. Then they all left me alone because now it was a fast car. I just gave up on the whole burnouts lose races stuff...700+ hp and the car is going to go whatever direction the car is pointed at under acceleration.
Even my Scat Pack has to be pointed in the direction I want it to go before hitting the loud pedal.
These cars command a lot of responsibility or you are going to hurt people and yourself...
Now the alleged experts are sounding off....
Hart's car missing key safety elements???
He didn't have a 5 point harness and a roll cage???
WTF????
Even under manufacturer standards or NHRA rules the car didn't meet the threshold to require a cage or a 5 point harness. It only had 707 hp and someone that didn't know how to drive!!!!
Kevin Hart's car was supposedly missing key safety features: report

What would you have done?
Any consolation it was a good looking deer, but yes I prefer to meet them in the woods than with my car."Don't Veer for Deer" signs are common around here.
But the old saying is "You never see the one you hit".

Which was certainly true in this case.
A mile and a half from the cottage I feel a huge "thump" and fur flying all over the place.
Figured I could make the cottage 'till I smelled anti-freeze.

Never saw this sucker. The Jeep punted him way off left into the ditch. I was probably rolling at 50 mph at the time.
Bow season in northern Michigan stirred up the wildlife.. He must have been in a full gallop.
My insurance adjustor had this guy in his freezer by the time I called him in the morning.
$4,000 repair bill and 2 weeks in the bodyshop.
That poor Jeep had a rough life. It was totaled two years later, hit by a fine citizen of Pontiac with no ins. or license.
