Seventh Deer
Gas Cap Smear.
Stupid fucker ran into the side of my car while I was going 15 mph through a town. He bashed his nose into my gas cap, and just left a smear, but no damage.
A running tally of my encounters with Michigan's wildlife.

Undercarriage & bumper.
I decimated a family of raccoons will driving back from an event that my coworker hosted, hitting 5 raccoons just sitting in the road like morons. My bumper popped off, but I was able to pop it back on. I still needed the bumper replaced after this, so my car was out of commission for like 2 weeks after this.
No damage.
After almost over a year of no deer incidents, I was driving into a town and a baby deer hopped out in front of me. Barely hit him at all, so he was fine and, more importantly, so was my car.

Vehicle totalled.
As I was driving home, on the phone with my parents about the deer I just hit, that did no damage to my car, LITERALLY LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LATER, ANOTHER FUCKING DEER JUMPS OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALS THE CAR.
No damage.
I hit this deer HARD, but somehow it did no damage.
Front bumper.
Damage to the bottom of the front bumper, but nothing worth an insurance claim.

Vehicle totalled.
This was the second deer I hit. Dude just jumped out in front of me on a country road at 55 mph. Literally no time to react. The vehicle was totalled after this.
Hit a deer, but he didn't do much damage at all.
Nothing super exciting. Hit a deer lightly after braking very hard. Deer ran off into the woods, car was fine.
Front bumper slightly dented.
This was the very first deer I ever hit while driving. It happened on a curve where the deer blended right into the dirt road in front of me. Launched that dude like an easy 10 feet in the air.
