darn, those deer can be tricky, I know they just spring out of nowhere. Glad you're safe and looks like the RX holds up quite a fight

if you live in an area where there's a handful of deer population, it's advisable to have a deer horn.
we always have this on all our vehicles back in New England.

Probably, $2,500 worth of damage is not enough to kill a deer.

OP should be thankful they were not hurt or that the deer didn't come through windshield.

8901alex, please don't think that I am trying to be a smart a-- because noting could be further from the truth. However, I have just read three of your posts on three different threads and I find them VERY difficult to understand. Is your wording and spelling a form of text language or what? (I don't text) Admittedly, I am an "old fart" but the incorrect spelling, incorrect or lack of punctuation, lack of capitalization, and the use of some weird contractions is just too difficult to read and comprehend. I enjoy your posts, but I would even enjoy them more if they were easier to read.

Hey, what do you say about young kids nowadays??? LOL

And I thought I was the only one having a hard time understand lazy english.

That's also why I'd love to have all these Bambi hunted down as they're really a menace on the road. I don't feel bad that these ****ers get ran over by semi, it's better the semi than ours.

I agree. But for a person, whose English may not be his first language, is sure doing well being able to afford a Lexus.
