Default Be thankful that ...

compared to Pennsylvania, Georgia has small deer.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm glad, though, that damage was minimal. These incidents can get pretty nasty. BTW: There's 50,000 deer killed on Penna highways each year!

I slowed down from 70 to 45 because I passed two dead deer.

Default At least it wasn't your executive twin-engine turbo-prop.

Default Here is the full N.A. 2002 list -- doubt many changes since...

I think PaulW is right, though... don't necessarily need a certified center, depending on the type of damage. If it's all bolt on components it should be easy. Remember the A6 also has aluminum fenders and/or hood, depending on model.

But, if a certified shop was close, I'd probably want to give them first shot regardless.

Default To make a long story short ...

Don hit a ground hog head on with the nose of his Formula car during a Russell Driving School race. The ground hog flew directly over his head, but ....

The ground hog hit the following driver square in the face. He was obviously wearing a helmet with face shield and wasn't hurt, but the pit stewards almost had heart attacks when he came in covered in what they thought was his blood.

To find the apex for turn 5, aim for the groundhog!

Default We tried geese to mark turn-in for Grattan's blind corners, ...

but they move. We had the same problem when we tried to use clouds :-)
