Sure enough, a 4 point buck scrambled over a guard rail and into the road just to test my brakes or be killed.

Holy Toledo, my brakes grabbed and I heard my tires as I rapidly approached the buck. I do not know what exactly happened to my wrist but I hurt it somehow grabbing the wheel hard (?) as my other hand came back from the shift. I veered into the on coming lane a little and then back into my own (straight line braking). I missed the deer by two feet in the end so no big deal. My wrist ached for ten minutes then stopped.

I caught the car ahead a few seconds later and they too pulled off, to give me a clear drive the rest of my way.

What a day. The excitement never stops when you drive a Z.
