Sorry about your misfortune. I too hit a deer only with my 82Chev Impalla with a 5.7 Olds diesel. The sound of the impact will stay with you for a while. If your car is in the shape you say it is take my advice and fix it rather than having more regrets later on. I wish I would have fixed the old 82 it was a nice car.
