I will be back to Peoria in DEC!!!
Yeah they suck at playing chicken!! We had a HUGE Buck walking around near my house here in the Springs!! We are a few miles from the base of the mountains so we get them alot. This one was next to the post office!!! About 2 FT from the road!
The Vette looks driveable like that!!!
I bet you would get a few looks!! Just hade sure to install the front plate....

Well I'm really sorry for the damage to your vette. I'm sure it was and will be beautiful once it's put back in shape. Pick out a good body shop. But the deer, well they don't know anything about roads and their vision isn't all that great. They can't tell whether your car is coming at them or not and just stand there trying to figure it out. Mostly TOO late. Hope your car is fix pronto !

That sucks. We were out last week at night going down a road in the foot hills. I opened the cutouts hoping to at least give them some warning should they decide to pop out of the woods. It makes me really nervous this time of year.

I live in Henry and also have a red vette...I hope it isn't contagious. I almost clipped a deer with my GTP tonight on RT 18. I think it is just that time of year. Where where you when you hit it?
