Corvette Meets 800 lb. 5x5 bull elk
Alpine, Texas

In November 2010, my friend and I decided to hit up a small town art festival in Alpine, Texas. We took my 2001 Corvette there for several hours, then started back home to Midland (a 2 1/2 hour drive) around 9pm.

Since I went to college in Alpine, I had driven this route numerous times. About 15 miles out of town, my friend asked if I'd ever hit a deer. I told her no, but I have heard there are elk in this part of Texas. I explained how my Dad told me all the time in college to watch for elk, and how I always thought he was being slightly paranoid. I went on to explain that one time I had seen an elk on this same highway, and how it scared me because it was so huge.

Not long after, we came over a small rise in the highway, with an oncoming car flashing its brights. In a matter of seconds, we were slamming into the 800 lb. 5x5 bull elk, who was facing the left shoulder and taking up the entire lane.

When the oncoming car had flashed its brights, I remember looking at my heads-up display to see that I was going 84mph. According to the officer who came to the scene, my speed probably saved us. My friend had a small bump on her head and we were both covered in glass, elk hair, and coffee but there were no real injuries...

...except for the elk, that is. In a family full of hunters, I quickly and unintentionally became the one with the biggest trophy (and I am not talking about the beautiful new blue convertible Corvette I got after the insurance company totalled this one!)
