a deer ran into me

any number of variables could have made this a much worse situation (bigger deer, head on, etc)



happened about 630am friday on my way to work. heading up a hill i noticed an suv in the opposite lane had slowed way down and started frantically flashing their lights at me, but by the time i looked left i was being showered in glass. also my door mirror ended up in my lap somehow. not a fun experience. door is also dented up, hard to tell in the pic. but yeah... i'm just glad it's all superficial damage.

My friend'd Evo got harrassed by a deer also. He didn't know how it ended up in his back seat and left a pile of dingleberries by the time it's all done.
