Hypermiling saved my life! Well...

While driving home from the City of Rocks here in Southern Idaho, I decided to start some pulse and glide techniques. When I killed the motor and started rolling down Elba pass, I was pleased to see that my speedometer stayed at 45 MPH. Then a loud bang hit my drivers headlight and I saw I'd hit a deer. Its always been my worst fear hitting something big in such a little car. As you can see the deer died, but the car lived. Minimal dammage to the front fender and head light still works. I seriously think if I'd a been going any faster, I'd a had to replace the windshield too. LOL

[big][big]This is me looking for my regestration, and expired insurance. Officer Tony asked, "With a plate like that, what kind of milage are you getting? AND WHERE'S YOUR PASSENGER SEAT?!!" The tank before last I got 67.8 MPG and this last tank was 62MPG. Why waste gas driving around a bunch of empty seats?[/big][/big]


[big][big]I know that Idaho is a two plate state, but I can't help but think that if its out front, then it will effect my aero on the front end.[/big][/big]
