Yikes tha totally bites man! Unfortunately I know the feeling. My freshman year of college I managed to slaughter a deer at 75mph and total my first car

A couple years later on the way back from my cabin my gf managed to run over an already dead deer in her Camry and the following dayI was under there hosing out guts and trying to get as much of the carcass out of the engine bay to get ride of the burning flesh smell!

I see deer all the time around here ... no deer crossing signs in my own neighborhood, only way you know where they cross is if you're around often

I tapped one with my Probe GT once going roughly 30MPH - thankfully it was running diagonally in the direction I veered, so it ran further away as I hit it. I can only hope I didn't break any of its legs (it stumbled as I hit it); there was no damage to my car.

Yeah, caps lock only looks good when it is typed on a Commodore, but on a modern machine, I cant stare at it... the commodore I can stare at it with no problem... maybe its this awful font

Modern computers - Caps = Defualt off
Old computers (Commodore) Caps = always on unless special keystroke performed

sorry to hear about your car, does your insurance cover that?

I hit a deer once...and a deer hit me all at the same time... the one I hit just made my light brighter and the one that hit me put a little tiny dent in the side door... cant even see it!
