Well. Did you at least keep the deer?

I see in your logs you were doing lots of EOC - is that Engine ON Coasting or Engine OFF coasting? Because if you found an auto that lets you get away with OFF coasting, that's, like, super rare.
I didn't keep the deer... Never even looked for it, lol... It was dark and I was tired and shaken at that point...

I started with EOnC, and then after seeing some people on other forums using these cars as "dinghies" behind RVs, I asked the local dealer about flat towing in neutral, and they said it should be fine, so I started killing the engine... The GM 4T45E transmission is supposedly good for flat towing in neutral... I did try and rev match as I shifted into drive though... Still drove fine before the deer hit though
