Just wondering, did the air bag pop out? Seems like a pretty hard impact and you didn't mention that the air bag came out.

Sucks, Man! F^cking Deer. I hit one doing 110 in the Roadster. Just clipped his leg. Took out my fender. I was lucky. I don't do back roads at 110 anymore. You never know. At least the front bumber ships that we all get will go away with a new paint job!

i saw a car hit a deer once on the highway. It was a mini cooper, deer jumped out and the guy slammed it going about 80. The deer seriously looked like it exploded and a huge chunk went about 30 feet in the air and missed my car by about 10 feet. It was a pretty cool thing to see.

Well, think of it this way, if you had a carbon fiber hood and you hit that deer, the hood would have broken up and cut that motherfu**** in half. NOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER STORY!

Oh deer, those prices seem really high....

November is the busiest mating season and when deer are most active.

Females will run from males, and the most aggressive males will chase and not give up.

Wow, just be glad you were able to walk away and with minimal damage to the Z.(it could have been a whole lot worse)
I have seen some horrible accidents with Deer and Moose.

Ouch! The damn deer are taking over the roadways in many places. Sounds like it's time for some sort of population patrol.
