Glad that you were not hurt. So you saw the deer run off?

I saw that video of the "deer" hitting race car. That was a very small deer perhaps a fawn, maybe 50 pounds. It is common to see deer in the midwest that field dress at 180. Live weight can be 220-250 and you would do no more than knock the feet out from under them sending their weight through the windshield.

There is now talk of reintroducing elk into Missouri. I cringe at the thought of a moose.

I do like your car. The front end is shaped like the Fiero GT.
