So there is a story behind this. This is my car, and this actually happened to me. This was August of 2003 to be exact. I had a '94 Talon TSi AWD, which was my baby. It was the first DSM I ever owned, and it pretty much popped my DSM cherry. At its peak it had a Small 16g and ran a best time of 12.3 @ 110mph in the 1/4 on 110 leaded race gas @ 22-24psi. It had the original completely stock 7-bolt which had never been taken apart. I bought the car with 74,000 original miles on it in 1999, and when it met its demise it had 165k on the clock and was still going strong (only 4 years later.) Shit, when I bought it it still had the Chrysler 100k mile warranty on it!!

Anyway, flash-forward to August '03. I'm out with a bunch of people for a dyno day. Was my first time ever putting a car on the dyno, so I was pretty excited. The car only made 285whp on race gas, which was sort of a disappointment. I figured she had at least 320whp in her. But whatever, there was still a few gallons of race gas in her, so we decided to grab the video camera and go film some fun. A friend of mine had never felt an AWD launch, so I was more than obliged to demonstrate. She hopped in, I made sure the camera was rolling, and we were off! 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear (OH fruit and banana, A DEER!), BAMMMM!!! WHAT THE fruit and banana!!! I was pretty much in shock. I didn't even have a chance to react to the situation. I literally had enough time to say "oh fruit and banana, a deer", and I hit it. The corner of the deer bounced off my hood and went flying about 15 feet into a field. The people who were filming didn't even know what happened, they thought I blew my motor or something. Imagine their surprise when they found out what really happened...

The car was still rolling, but making bad noises, and the hood was all curled up, but otherwise it seemed fine. It started smoking and overheating, so I pulled into a nearby parking lot (was in an industrial area late at night.) The passenger door was wedged against the fender, so the door wouldn't open. The girl I was showing off for started to flip out, became nauseous, and ended up crawling out the window and puking in the bushes. She was kind of hysterical. I remained calm and collected, and called for a tow truck. Had the car hauled off to a body shop, informed my parents and insurance company. I thought the car would be ok, but it wasn't.

As I was laying in bed later on that night, I realized something. "HOLY SHIT, WE FILMED THAT ENTIRE THING!!!" So the next morning I immediately called my buddy, and he was way ahead of me. I think he had already watched the video 10 or 15 times, and couldn't stop laughing. We knew we had to go check out the remains of the deer, and the remains of the car, and well, just watch the video for yourselves.

So what happened to the car that damaged the cooling system and made it overheat?

Damn...fruit and banana him up son! I hit one in the work van last year. Totalled it. It was a 97 Grand Voyager. I had hair in the radiator and what was left of the headlight.

Wow, you really fruit and banana him up. Dumbshit deserved it.

You were very unlucky, usually its a doe that people hit. That was a pretty good size buck. I hate driving outside of town around here this time of year cause there are so many deer out, in turn i have to do like 35 mph so i'll have a chance to get out the way. Usually i'll come to a dead stop when i see them on or near the road and these "elusive" creatures will sit there and stare right at you lol.

Taco'd the radiator, and it started leaking coolant.
The thing that's ironic about it is, I grew up in Illinois all my life where there are deer everywhere, and I never even came close to hitting one. Then I move out to Southern California, and hit what was possibly the only deer within a 20-mile radius.

I sighed when I found out no 6bolts were harmed, what a relief.

Yeah baby, original 1g 7-bolt. That motor took a beating.

I actually hold the title of Deer Slayer with a few friends. lol. I hit a deer while listening to Slayer. The deer jumped across the road and realized there was a fence to high to jump so I was doing about 45 mph in my friends 91 toyota camry. Yelled Raining blood!!! and the deer ran back in front of the car. There was blood and saliva on the passenger side fender. it took out the passenger side headlight as well.
I got pics somewhere and the skull is at my boy's house.

My boy Robert was in the back seat and raised up and all I heard was

"Dude, We hit a deer."
