Ah man. I am just crying.
I have a nice windshield--one rock chip--that you can have for the price of
shipping if you want it. Cheap as I can make it to try to soften the blow.
Did you salvage the meat and eat the damned thing that did that to your car?
Elk is good eats!!
Feeling your pain, kinda.

Hey Peter,
Glad to hear you had a good trip. I left Atlanta on Tuesday Nov 20th. By
Saturday the 24th I had put 3500 miles on the car with no problems. Drove
to SE Arizona then on to Salt Lake City. I hear you about not illuminating
elk. On the trip back from SLC, about midnight on Saturday I found out
first hand.

I had just gassed up and was getting ready drive through the Salt River
Canyon under a full moon with no traffic. Plans changed.
Borrowed a car & dolly to get the roadster home. Looks like I have a new
autocross car. Oh, and I have not cleaned the patina from the car yet.
