Clipped a deer

Driving home last night, a deer popped out of nowhere as they usually do. The difference here is that she saw me coming and just trotted out in front of me anyway. Narrowly missing a head on collision, I clipped the deer's leg at 45 mph and the car has almost no damage on it! It looks like it was done in a parking garage or something, and you wouldn't notice it unless it was pointed out to you.

Try getting away with that in a modern car...you can't. Plastic obviously can't hold up to impacts like steel. Plus, since my insurance plan has a $50 deductible on body damage to my car, I pay barely anything to have it fixed. Mercedes truly was engineered like no other car in the world.
