My car hit a deer
Last week, on the way to New Buffalo Michigan my wife and I struck a deer at 3 AM. It was a heartbreaking incident. I felt sorry for the deer and my car. We walked away unhurt, but the deer and the car were not that lucky. We were driving in the left lane at about 75mph on the dark interstate in the woods. All of the sudden the deer came out of the left shoulder and it was right in front of the car. I steered hard right and than hard left to avoid the gourd-rail. The car handled like it was on rails. I can now say that the Tein coils and daizen sways work great. The wide tires probably helped too. Now my car is in the shop and it need some TLC. I'm thinking it's time to get aftermarket bumper and grille while I'm at it. Here is some pics.

I'm glad you both are ok. Back in 95, I hit a deer on the way home from the dealership after buying a brand new Accord. I logged all of 8 miles before that sucker jumped into the side of my car. Doesn't make it go away, but I feel your pain.
