Just hit a deer

Just hit a deer on my way home tonight by my house around 2:00 am. Fortunetly, nothing happened to the car or the deer, it just got up and walked away, did not look like it was injured. My neighbors where out too, what are the chances?

God, I love Mercedes brakes, they're amazing. All I have to say is for once I was happy for having a front license plate cause if I didn't, my bumper would've been screwed. I even got a little bit of hairs in my plate holder.

Check your radiator mounts. I hit a dog a while back, with no appearant damage. A few days later with the hood open, I noticed the radiator looked, funny. The 2 top mounts were broken. They were composite plastic, and only cost about $10 each from the dealer.
