Deer v. 911
Hit a deer (buck) at high speed on the freeway. He jumped out of the center median on to the left lane... Airbags (steering and knee) deployed.... No injuries..... No frame or suspension damage.... Took about 2 months to repair, but running like new!

Should never read these around lunch time....just sickening! Glad you're okay, and BTW, I like the old school way of hanging the deer over the fender on the way home from the hunt. Nice touch.

I agree - my money was on the deer...

Glad you were able to repair it, but looks like a big bill to do so!

Good thing the engine is in the rear or else the repair bill would have been much larger!

Oh deer, that looks painful. I live in WA and a lot of them wander onto high speed roads.

The crumple zones aren't crumpled. This is just superficial body panel damage, hence his comment 'no frame or suspension damage'.
