Yes, the pickup truck that is shaped like a low-effort Pinewood Derby car will definitely be safer for pedestrians, that totally scans. /s

      We smacked a deer in my 98 Jetta (back in the early 2000s) and the only damage to my car was the plastic grill broke.

      The dear was … not going to be alright.

      At sub 50 mph the deer went asplodey

        I was cleaning viscera out of the airbox/ intake manifold and starter. A lot fused on to the bottom of the engine block.

          My brother and I hit a deer in a mid 90s civic, drivers side quarter panel.

          Not a ton of damage done tbh.

          The next morning however my dog yanked a 1 foot long shaving of deer body out of the door panel …. So that was neat.

            And to think… the dog already loved car rides, just imagine when they think Honda Civics are some sort of carniceria on wheels
