Brakes, saved the G.
Driving 70 down a secluded road I see a whitetail deer on the side of the road the foot comes off the accelerator and he decides that this is a good time to run accross the road.
I put my foot all the way to the floor... ABS kicked in, VDC held me on the road, and we stopped WAY short of the deer. The G saved the G. In any other car I have had we would have smoked the deer. The Eclipse, light damage, the prelude, bad damage, my avalanche... lots of blood, but not the G. No damage, no control loss under hard braking, no nothing except super hard stopping power.

It stopped hard. I was pumped, my wife was freaking out... remember, it is her car. It went 70 - 0... wow it was fast. Saved the car. Maybe I should have just hit it though, would have been able to get the paint chips fixed on the insurance claim.

I should of had the front end clear guarded when I bought the car; I regret that. It will be going to V&V soon to have the hood, bumper etc. repained then they will keep it a week for proper curing and then clear guard most of the front. I drive the G nearly everyday and even though I am carefull and never follow close, sh*t flies around on the freeway and sometimes I can hear it hitting; it hurts. Chips are already there so it's no use to clear guard now until they are all fixed.
