    Hmmm....
    I have a lot of ill comments...


    1. Feel bad for the TB, just like the workers who made these things are now out of a job.


    2. Feel bad for the Deer. This guy's house is probably sitting on the deer's land where he used to sleep.


    3. Awful interior. Couldnt bear to open the pics.


    4. This is one time, where I have to say.. Nope. That WONT buff out.


    5. Might as well just toss the vehicle to a wrecker, and let ins. take care of it. At the rate he was going prob gonna get a same model vehicle for a lot less than what he paid. Then again, the vehicle wasnt worth much to start with.


    6. As for as the SEMA interior.. first time I actually saw a revision, that didnt include me seeing 14tvs mounted somewhere in the vehicle, a half naked she-male trying to get me to buy tires. And yet another booth with a Camaro / Mustang / Challenger parked out front.


    Poor bastards.

    I saw this awhile back and someone commented that the impact snapped the deer in half, hence the gunk in/around the steering wheel that fell out/fell in. And even if the bits went over/around the driver, I agree there should be some difference where the driver was sitting.

    I don't think anyone would fake a mess like this but we need a crime scene investigator to help us out here.

    Now I've got to find out if our Trailblazer will do 120mph. I know I took it up to 100 with no problems. Normally the wife's car, so I'll have to wait until I have it alone or she is asleep in the passenger seat.

    Here is a good example of why outdriving your headlights at night is a bad idea.


    That said, for reasons outlined above, I smell something fishy about this...

    I would love to see the look on the face of whoever they give that casserole dish in the back to. If they were doing 120 my guess is that they were late to the party anyways. (Small ice chest, casserole dish, and single grocery bag = on the way to dinner or party/family/chruch get together)

    What's this about a Deer Strike? With all the problems we have already with the world, a strike among these bastards is the last thing we need.

    As a former owner of a GMC Envoy of the same year(ish [I mean, hell.. 7 years ago, same platform... yadda]) I can fully attest that 120 in that POS mofo is nothing short of IMPOSSIBLE. I got the thing to violently shake near the Beck Rd. Exit on M-14 returning from A2 whilst doing 104, then she would go no more.


    Le sigh, I digress... Where was the driver during all of this? Or did he "go go gadget ass inflate" so he wouldn't be in the way of the carnage spray?

    @Zach Collins: I ran a Trailblazer SS up against its governor on... a... uh... undisclosed east coast interstate highway, and it was almost unbelievably stable.


    Though to be fair I've never driven a regular model.

    B: No, the car pictured is not an SS.
