Default 350 and Bambi aren't friends!

Momma bambi decided to hop out in front of me Sunday night. New brakes a year ago, New Michelin Pilot A/S tires two months ago, they worked very very well. didn't swerve, but barely tagged the deer, made it fall onto hood. Air bags went off.
Body shop saying 7,400 in damage..i was like what the. Well, Seems like gonna need new hood, paint hood, paint front bumper, air bags and all that stuff (i know its not cheap)... and like both seat belts? they both seem to work fine to me but whatever...It sucks. Hope you guys don't have to go through it, there was nothing I could do beyond what I did. It was just unlucky.
Ill put up pics sometime.

Sorry to hear about your car and I'm glad you are OK.
I had the same thing happening to me while driving my Dodge. I barely hit the deer ( while braking 10 mph) but the damages were extensive. I can not imagine what the car would of looked like hitting the deer at 6o mph.
