Close encounter of the worst (scary) kind...
Driving home today, merging onto the highway at 60 MPH, a deer decided to run full blast towards the side of my EX-L. I did everything in my power to avoid it.
As I awaited and cringed expected to hear the sound of crunched sheet metal, I only heard a lighter sounding thump. That was at least a little bit encouraging. Shaken, I drove the seven miles to my house expecting to see some serious damage. Got out of my car and prayed for a miracle. Well, there were no dents at all. Not a scratch on the sheet metal. The deer hit my rear driver's taillight and only caused a very long gouge in the plastic. It could have been much, much worse. The Civic handled very well in a high speed emergency situation.
