    AMS KILLS BAMBI!

    Well as some may know we sadly smoke Bambi while attending Zcon in San Antonio! One of our support corporate vehicles (Cayenne S) was used to transport some supplies and crew to ZNationals and then straight to Zcon. Third day in heading to the track event we had Bambi attempt a full frontal assault on the German Tank. Bad move. We were on a major Interstate in the slow lane when all of a sudden - bang! No time to react as she decided to dart in front full speed. Kept the Cayenne Straight and exited first off-ramp There was a trooper serving and protecting (radar trap). With the kill still fresh and hairs and remnants spewed on the fender the cop was able to write a report within 5 minutes. Never saw the deer on the side of the highway on the way back. So Bambi either was hit so hard it was bounced back into the bushes/oblivion or it had a little adrenaline left and darted a few metres for it's final resting place.

    Damage was $9000+ and we luckily were able to drive it back some 3000 km's to Toronto to get the work done! Bottom line it is just a car and no passenger injuries!

    One less dear to worry about in Texas!

    Yeah the parts and repairs are not cheap!

    Lucky we service P-Cars and will be launching parts for these as well within our Prestige division next year.

    If I clipped her towards the center the air-bags would of deployed and I could only imagine the repair bill

    Yeah end of the day a piece of metal that is repairable or replaceable We got out in one piece which is the priority. The Interstate was rammed so if anyone swerved or hit the brakes there would of been a chain reaction!

    Glad to see you guys are okay, but judging by what looks like feces, the deers dead. and Do you by any chance live near central etobicoke of Kipling or islington? I was driving through that area and saw your trailer and the pictures back ground looks familiar.

    odd how a crashed cayenne looks better than a factory fresh one lol
    I've been brushing my teeth with jack but it's resulted in terrible amounts of tooth decay.

    MMM undigested grass all over the fender. Surprised there was no blood though.

    Wouldn't insurance cover this?

    Glad to see your guys were ok.
