The SkunkZ has relocated

[C4Fanatic]

Rolled into Henderson, NV yesterday evening after a rather eventful 2 day drive.

Had not even gotten out of Kansas when I had an encounter with one of the larger state rodent's...I hit a damn deer:

Then it rained on me from OKC to Amarillo, had to pull off a couple times and wait it out in the Amarillo area. Cleared off until 30 miles from Albuquerque and I hit another. Had some white knuckle moments coming down the hill into the city, but thanks to a friendly truck driver who had my "6", stayed behind me and kept people off my ***, I made it to town in one piece.

Saturday was uneventful, sunny beautiful drive. Albuquerque to Flagstaff to Kingman to Henderson.

Here's how you travel in a C4

Gonna have to hook up with the locals, get the damage fixed and check out a few things on the car, I noticed some oil drips on the driveway last night...that's new...:cry:....oh well, we can fix anything can't we.

Anyone comes out to the SinCity area drop me a line, I'd love to have company.

That sucks that you hit a deer. Good looking car

[VetteMed]

Deer collisions can be MUCH worse -- sucks that it happened, but it could have been a much bigger problem!

In have a few headlight pcs that I'll send you for free. Just PM me your address if you need them. :cheers:

Absolutely! Luckily it was small...and luckily I missed it's friend...there were 2 of them.

That assembly was getting kind of loose, so I was going to replace it anyways, so I got me ear to the ground seeking an entire new assembly.
The door is scuffed and will need paint, and obviously the cover was destroyed.
Thanks much.

Oh man. Did it happen at night! Or during the day. At night is the worst time to drive through deer country.

[C4Fanatic]

About 6:30am, I had just barely left home...just wasn't paying attention and they come through the ditch and up on the road before I could even react.

Like I said, could have been a lot worse as there were 2 of them, I could have taken out BOTH headlights or had one come up the hood and into the windshield.

Glad you made it somewhat safely!

I'm back from SLC today. Lets schedule some lunch. I know John's been asking but I've been traveling...

Cheers,
Ron

[John Boothby]

I am back from Cedar City and ready for a get together. What about this Saturday or Sunday the 19th or 20th?? Lunch; Breakfast; whatever??

[Corvettes White]

did you keep the deer?

[John Boothby]

Hey David, since you are new around town, how well do you know your way around? Is there some place near you that you would like to meet? Or, are you up to anywhere?

Just to get things started, there is a Road Runner resturant on West Flamingo just west of the 215 beltway. Ron, you have the Iron Skillet out at the speedway, right? Somewhere else?

Angel, you in?

David, did you get to Cars & Coffee Saturday?

[C4Fanatic]

I've spent enough time in town to know my way around pretty good, living with a college buddy down in Henderson, so I've been here a lot.
I'm staying off Horizon in the shadow of Black Mountain.
I didn't make cars n coffee last weekend, didn't hit town until late afternoon. I'm going to try to make this week though, thought I'd show off the deer damage...
Didn't keep Bambi, too small and I didn't have anywhere to put it :-D

Maybe lunch after C n C Saturday if you guys are free and I'm not busy with the new job, I'll let ya know.

Sounds good to me... I've never been to CnC so it might be time to make it down... IF I don't have to leave town again! John, you in? I'll call Angel and a few others to see if they'll join in...

Cheers,
RH

[C4Fanatic]

Very cool, hope you guys can make it, be great to meet the new gang.:cheers:

[John Boothby]

I'm in! Are we meeting at CnC? I remember it being around Warm Springs and Eastern 7am to 10am?

[RHanselman]

Me too... A friend of mine attended last week and there was no parking left when he arrived at 0830... I'll probably leave the house around 0700...

So where do we meet?

Cheers,
Ron
