    Wow...wonder what speed that was?
    Does insurance cover something like that? I know 'typical' insurance doesn't cover your car if you are racing at the track. I suppose when you do it normally, you have additional coverage.
    Good thing it didn't come through the windshield into the car. That's when occupants end up getting severely injured or killed!

    Did the driver have the visor on the helmet up or down? Looks like he's shielding his eyes from the glass.

    This is what I've seen before on other people's Corvettes, the low nose of the car kicks the deers feet out from under them and they go right across the hood and into the windshield.

    Looks just about like it does in real life - makes me jump watching it hit. I have to guess the collision speed wasn't that high - maybe 80mph +/-, judging from the amount of damage experienced with my own misadventure. I agree it was fortunate the deer didn't end up inside the car.
