deer vs. fc

this sunday i was cruisin into town, i live in rural iowa, and a deer decided it could out run my 7, the only problem is, i really wish it had out run me , i didnt even see it till i was ontop if it, and my windsheild now cannot even sheild a slight breeze, much less a wind.
i think i actually felt pain as the beast demolished my car, im pretty sure i share a mental conection with my beloved rx, so i am now pretty bummed

has anyone else had an encounter of the furry kind (im not talking about a french female, either)

a few close calls, but nothing too major around Atlanta. Every time I was in the "woodsy" type areas.

took one out at 80 in a maxima. they were spaced 3 across the highway, fast lane, center line, and white line at emergency lane. only saw the one on the white line as the other two had they're sides to us. deer never moved until we moved it.

About a 3 weeks ago, I had just left my house and was doing about 30mph when a big deer jumped out in front me. I slammed on the breaks but still hit it at 25. It rolled over on its side from the force and layed there. I jumped out of the car to see it it had damaged anything but while was getting out, the deer got up and jumped away. No damage but it scared the **** out of me!
