Ran over a deer last night

Glad you're OK Brian, and I'm sure you'll have the car in a good shop.
IIRC, a Rennlister in Colorado ran over a dead elk a few years ago, and his car was not damaged.

What a relief you and your wife are OK. Impressive quick thinking on the toboggan strategy.
Cars are easy to fix. If you need or want any help give me a call.

My car was literally HIT BY A DEER -- not the other way around.
I slowed to a stand-still. The world's dumbest deer eventually made a half-hearted attempt to jump over my hood, hitting its foot on the fender and sliding back where it started.
...then it finally decided to walk in front of me
...ESPECIALLY mule deer. A miracle their kind has survived this long

What do you call a deer with no eyes and legs that's been hit by a car?

Had a similar experience two years ago with my BMW F10 535. 70 mph on the NJ Turnpike at 1:00am. The deer was dead in the left lane and not much I could do but go over it.
My damage was approximately $10K in suspension, intercoolers, transmission mounts, cooling system, brake lines and lots of tin underneath. No real paint/body work required other than refinishing the lower front bumper. I suspect you will likely have damage to the suspension, steering rack, exhaust, etc. unless you hit a fawn. A full size deer is a big thing to run over.

You guys are hilarious!
I wanna play too, is it "No bloody eye deer in hell"?
But honestly, I wouldn't bother calling it anything because it's not going to come anyway.
Dealer had a cancellation, so car is going in tomorrow for mechanical / alignment check. Update to follow.

I enjoy driving the Bow Valley Parkway 1A highway between Banff and Lake Louise. But I definitely don't push it like I used to push myself on Race City Speedway when it was open because I am always fearful that Bambi will be standing in the middle of the road at the next blind corner.
