Deer decided my slant nose wasn't slanted enough...
Coming back from town last night, just humming along talking to my wife (with the low beams on) I saw multiple sets of legs in front of the oncoming car's headlights just in time to clench my hands on the wheel and see one scramble in front of me. I wasn't doing any less than 50 MPH when I hammered it with the right 1/3 of the 'Burb. No mechanical damage, no collateral damage, but I hate that I lost those original parts and have to repair it before I can do the resto. Only had liability insurance so it's on my dime.
But it hammered the deer good - knocked a full-grown doe 50 feet from the point of impact and didn't even bend the bumper brace or alter the 'Burb's course! Chalk up one for big chrome bumpers!
