Bunny,

Too bad to hear about your HCH, but at least you made it through the accident with no major injuries.

I had a close encounter with a deer just a couple hours after I bought my HCH. I live in Iowa and bought it in Topeka, Kansas. When I was driving home from the dealership I spotted a truck driving down an on-ramp on Interstate 35 and a deer on the other side of the ramp. I'm not sure if the truck hit the deer or not, but it certainly startled the deer and forced it into a dead sprint across the ramp and onto the interstate and on a collision course with my brand new baby. I switched lanes to avoid the deer and at the last second it leaped and cleared my car, at least the back end anyway. The last I saw the deer made it to the grassy median and hopefully made it past the other side of the interstate safely. Needless to say it was a scary moment for both animals involved.

I'm just glad I didn't have to try out my front air bags the very first day I bought my HCH.
