hit a deer last night.
Yesterday, I was travelling south bound on I380 in PA and a deer (100+lb) jumped in front of me. It was dancing on the highway, as it couldn't decide to go across or go back. The deer hit the left fender, bumper, left light, hood, smashed the windsheid completely and flew off the roof. Luckily, it did not go thru the windshield, or I would be dead. Still a bit shaken.
Any good body shop in North NJ/NYC. I heard roof damage is hard to fix.

Sorry to hear about that, glad you're okay. I had an identical experience a few months ago - deer couldn't make up his mind about which way to go and BOOM.

I was terrified to drive my Miata at night in our area last fall. That's why I drive a truck.

I tried, but it stopped and turned back also. It just happend so fast. It is so hard to avoid because you just don't know which way it wants to go.
Can I trust Manhattan motorcar body work? I need to decide quickly. South NJ is too far...
