I was just outside of San Luis Obispo, California, and at 10:00 AM a deer was laying down on the side of the road. I was not going fast at all, and slowed down even more when I saw her. She jumped up and a blink of an eye ran right toward me, and tried to come through the windshield. She crushed in the hood, broke the crest, smashed the windshield, and left hoof prints in both headlight rings. and broke one fog light.
My insurance provider did not blink. I got three estimates from high end body shops, and took it to the guy I know that specializes in old Porsches. It told him make it look like it did before minus the rock chips. He did. It was just the ultimate bug hit - rock chip. I had a lot of fun driving through LA with a windshield that was broken in many places. In San Diego I found a glass shop to come put in a new windshield, and I drove it home to be fixed.
