Deer VS ISF
I picked my wife and my son who is 20 days old. from my in laws. They live in North jersey. On my way back it was around 1am last night relatively low traffic and i was cursing, i was getting 24.9 MPG tank avg going about 70mph on i-95. i was pretty happy. half tank whole trip more then 140 miles and i still had 122 range left. i was thinking this car is awesome.
Anyways There was no traffic on the highway and as soon i hit Delaware the highway curves to left for couple of miles then becomes straight. All of a sudden i see this deer in the middle of the road just standing there and i am few feet from him. An impact was obvious. Having the ISF ( i would never try this in any stock lexus or the acura mdx) i had i made and sharp right, while turning left at 70mph..now the deer also having seen me decides it wants to make a right to and jump at my car. i was thinking we are gona crash and hit the gurad rail. The isf came through it out handles the deer and with a sharp right + brake , then gas and little left turn again. i swear i saw the deers as-s in my driver sides window. Well luckily for everyone including the dear we were all ok. Best of all when i got home the baby + wife were sleeping all the way and had no idea, i asked my wife how was the trip. She said good.
What a relief it just makes me appreciate my car little more. i know i would have been screwed if it wasnt for the suspension braking and handling of isf

Lucky Lucky Lucky, I haven't really tried the suspension out yet on my car cause it only has 550miles on the odometer, but I tried the braking once or twice and boy does this car amaze me. It stops on a dime and no brake fade, prevented an accident with the super braking power. Im happy that I got this car, way better than my G37
LoL i think if we would of seen this first hand it wouldnt be as funny as the way you wrote your story. Glad to hear ur family and car were safe
i guess an ISfF is a good investment if you live near mountain roads
