Default deer at 70

Hey; I hit a deer last night in the third lane of a five lane freeway.---Ouch!!Those Bambys look- HUGE- when your butt is 10'' off the surface!!! Now I'm looking for a good body shop in the Pacific Northwest? My 01 vert is no longer a 13 sec car, however it is alittle lighter!!Oh, my new lazer jammer worked perfect --- the deer stopped perfectly between the two sensors.--just kidding!

Sorry for your loss. My brother wrecked his 95' TA when he hit a deer. That white TA was blood red. Got any pics?

OMG dude.

Did you cut the deer in half or just chop its legs off. I hit a deer going 70, except I was in a station wagon. He sat on my bumper with his head bouncing on my hood until I could slow down.
