SAD DAY --- The Baja wreck #2

Well it happened . . . It has been 2 years since my last accident, but late Friday night I was driving home on the back roads, when a deer jump out in front of me and I swerved to miss it going into the other lane but ended up clipping it... The driver side of the car went just far enought into the steep ditch on the other side that I was sucked in and blew through 2 small trees, a crap load of brush, a barb wire fence and into a field... I had enough speed to drive my Baja up and out of the ditch and back home, barely. The cargo rack and snorkel had been cut off by the barb wire and the bumper saved my Baja once again from the impact of the deer and 2 small trees. Also the skid plate saved alot of stuff as well. Tomorrow I will be taking my Baby in to get it fixed. Its so sad seeing my Baby all broken. But its all good, it will survive once again !! HAHAHAHA

I went back later that night to collect my snorkel and cargo rack

lol destroyed property, . . . well i guess that rusty "fence" does count. . . . Its all good though. I have talked to my insurance company and my Baja will be fixed up again, and this time it will have a Turbo Hood.

Almost forgot. . . As for the fence, when I went back to collect my parts. I pushed the fence back up in the upright position So no damage done except for mowing there brush.

If you want a scoop you could actually get this hood http://www.andysautosport.com/subaru/20 ... 30767.html and then get an STI hood scoop. even though this isn't my baja I still think it is pretty sweet!!

Damn !! lol thats a SCOOP !! Yeah I am getting the regular scoop for now. That one is on the extreme side for me lol But thanks for the support you guys !! I will post pics up in a few weeks when my Baja is completely fixed. Don't drive like me lol

now see if you had said you fixed the fence i wouldn't have said anything.

i hope it gets all fixed up. the mudrat doesn't look to bad hopfully it can be fixed, i've been to the mudrat guys website and it looks like hes given up, so if it need replaced that would suck.

rebuild it, stronger, better, faster. You have the technology! (ok, showing my age here a little with references to the Bionic Man, lol)

I have talked to John Bloom who does the Mudrat Bumpers and he is working full time building these bumpers again, I will have a new bumper by thursday or friday of next week. I cant wait to have my Baby back on the road again.

Sorry to hear about your Baja.
Dam deer are always doing that out here as well. Some days it reminds me of frogger, that old video game where you're trying to get across the road without getting squished. Only for me, I'm trying to get to work without smacking into one. Brown furry bastards!!
