I took a deer right between the headlights in a Plymouth Horizon at 70mph. Wrapped the radiator around the engine and the hood was up against the windscreen. I had to buy a used grill, radiator and hood hinges and a new distributor cap to repair it, and the hood is still slightly warped. Probably cost me $80 to repair the car. My dad took a deer out at 35mph in his old Dakota, had to replace the fog lights. Mitch.
