From one Ruby owner to another I am glad your damage was not more severe considering the circumstances. Just hope you did not permanently stain that beautiful ruby leather sport seat.

Thanks everyone.
I put an insurance claim in and am taking it to an adjuster then my body shop tomorrow. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
Could have been a lot worse, I got lucky.
Found a chunk of bone in the LR tire tonight so looks like the ZR1 will be making the GC trip this weekend

I got over to the right of my lane as much as I could but hit it and ran over it with my left wheels. A few miles down the road I passed a mini van that must have hit it first as his left front was all smashed up. Fortunately I survived although my heart was beating real hard for about 10 minutes. The nose is cracked and I have deer guts all over the bottom of the car. Time to call my insurance. Good thing I have a back up Vette
