[s-cars] Well, here's my luck for the month of November....

[Mark Turczyn]

Steve-

I had the same deer experience in my Avant.  The deer came across from the
drivers side on an angle from the back of my car and tried to leap over my
hood when he got to my left fender.  He leaped up -landed on my windshield-
and his hoofs beat in my fender.  All I can remember is seeing dark and an
incredible bad smell since I had the window open.

He fell off my car, I jammed on my brakes, he got up, and ran off in front
of my car to the other side of the road.

My fender and left headlight tabs were the only victims.

Unsurprising  the insurance assessor figured that the total repair cost was
equal to my deductible-- of course that was for cave and paving my fender
and not repairing the tabs on my headlight.
