Payback: Deer vs. car
Hit a doe on the way to work tonight! Spun her around like a top, then she ran into the night (real fast when she saw the skinning knife in my hand!). Luckily I saw her early and had time to brake a little. Not much damage to the Passat, just broken cowling and spiderwebbed paint on theupper plastic shroud (of course that's probablya grand in damage!). Better than last time...$3000 in damage (same car). She was probably a yearling and, hopefully, not carrying a fawn. Guess I'll stop by the local PD in the morning and get a report for my insurance guy!

Isn't itamazing that the auto companies can take a million dollars worth of parts and build a $20,000 car from them? [8D]
Glad you just winged her. It'd been nasty if she'd come through the windshield. [:-]

It's a dangerous place out there. I've seen more deer laying on the side of the road than I did out in the woods this year!!! I think the county is spreading corn on the middle stripe of the highway!
