The steering wheel jerked, I saw a millisecond flash of brown and that was it. It's the same side that got it last time. I had just replaced the headlight from the first time about two months ago. The damage is worse this time, I'm going to have to do some serious redneck bodywork to get it where the passenger door will open and the tire doesn't rub.

Crikey, were you OK?

Thank you!

I guess it depends on how you look at it. I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world!

Thankfully you're still in one piece...that's the main thing. Still sucks though.

I'll post some pics when I can, The damage is in the same place as last time and the comparison is interesting. 60-65mph banged up quite a bit more than 45mph.

Damn deer.:curse:
