yeah, your running your chances either way. I could re-phrase my comment to say "I'd rather hit one large, hard object than several".

They really are solid animals, and it is not recommended to aim for one by any means.

Regarding the turtle, I ran over an armadillo doing 50 or so in my truck a while back. Talk about an eye-opener. I can imagine you would feel that on your butt as it makes it's way under the car.

remember the deer is standing on legs that put the body in line with the windshield of our low cars, enough said with Joes pics.

Yup, that S2000 belonged to me =\ and yes Rick, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. God forbid I would have hit it and it went through my windshield. I also had the top down as well, so who knows, it could have ended up inside the car O_o

I called my insurance and they've decided to give me $18,933 for the vehicle, so I'm well on my way to getting another S2000 soon! These past few weeks without one have been hell.

Thank you guys so much for understanding, I wasn't trying to be a "badass" or some "punk kid with a sports car." My first reaction was "OH SH*T, DEER! *SWERVE* *CRASH tree #1, CRASH tree #2*

You can bet I'll never drive on that road again.

No, I was on Parkway, so close to Ehren. That Parkway has sooooo much deer population there, it's not even funny. That road terrifies me now. The sad part is, is that I was literally 1 minute away from home.

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that! I actually moved away from LOL... I moved to Citrus Park Area... Still deer but no where near the amount up there... I remember the days I would hit up Ehren Cutoff and time myself in the middle of the night from one point to another... stupid... yes... I'm just glad to hear your fine...
