Hmmmmm....I was told just a little bit ago by the office (ahem) "car expert" that the holes in my Eradispeed rotors will emit an "ultrasonic resonance" when driving that will scare deer away.
I guess it must be true. I haven't hit a single deer since I installed them and I did hit one prior to that. The Expert felt like that proved his point.
I'm sure glad that I didn't get the right and left ones mixed up when I installed them. I imagine that if they were on backwards the "resonance" would actually attract deer and I'd have herds of them chasing me down the street. Whew!

Hmmmm, Interesting, I know my dimpled rotors on the Berger "click" as the littel pockets of air are released, sounds funny next to a concrete barrier, a little like rocks stuck in the tire treads.
Oh man!! I think you're right about reversing them.....why.....you could market those to hunters....might work better than corn to attract deer!!!

hmm, I wondered why the deer were so shy now. Posted by HotWheelSS aka HTWLSS (Member # 117) on 13 July, 2004 03:05 PM:
Our GT Rotors make a WHIZZZZZZ sound.

You have 99 #98 and I have 98 #98. Have the same rotors - and no deer hits. Maybe deer don't hit #98's!

How many deer has Mary hit in the garage? Posted by Fbodfather (Member # 1119) on 14 July, 2004 02:55 PM:
can't speak for the rotors.....but...I know that the lil plastic things that people attach to the front of their cars and trucks to scare deer away DON'T work.......we proved that one years ago at the Proving Grounds.
By the way...the Rotors DO scare Cathy Zeta Jones away! ('cause she won't come near my Camaro...)

Hawkeye, without the rotors they're still a target. About four years ago (pre-Eradispeed)I got to study the surpised look of a deer as it slid up my hood to the windshield. Then he did a little jig on my hood and ran off. $1800 for the repair and I didn't get the deer's insurance info.

I guess that was a real "hit and run"! Posted by cytruffle (Member # 1733) on 14 July, 2004 06:20 PM:
well.....if they scare women away, maybe they'll attract a couple o' bucks.....

Good news for me. I don't have Eradispeed rotors, so there's stil a chance I'll meet Catherine.
