Sounds like it isn't tooo bad. At least it seems everything is mechanically sound and you're fine.

not so lmao to your ss man. i know the feeling. i spun my car through some bushes, busted my bumper on a tree, and put a dent in my rocker from hitting a pole. i drove it home and just went inside. i felt like i was going to puke the whole night man. sounds like nothing major is wrong though. most important thing is you're alright.

I hate to **** in your cheerios but you should have creamed that deer. Insurance pays for it then.

Sorry to hear about it though.

hate to say it but these guys are right, my mom is a claims adjuster an she always tells me to just hit them an let the insurance pay for it. I know how hard that can be tho-i still don't know if i could actually do that, its just a natural reaction to swerve outta the way rather than f' up your car.

Thats the first thing that popped into my mind too. Sorry to hear about the car. I saw about 4 this morning on the way to work and they were just running along, didn't know which direction they were going to go so I was crawling at about 25 mph till they took off finally. Bad part is they are usally somewhat calm this time of year compared to hunting season around here.
