Damn man, you were better off hitting the deer lol. My dad always tells me to not swerve and just hit the brakes and if you hit it... you hit it lol. But damn that ditch tore your car up [&:]

Ouch!! Deer suck. They can end up in your lap if they hit the windshield just right.
While you are replacing that pass side fender anyway, maybe you could consider shaving the antenna?? Just a thought....

Just have to find a shop that has a framing machine.

Yikes! At least it seems like you are taking it in good stride. I'd probably kill myself if that ever happened.

RE: Mustangs do not like ditches!!!
Hitting deer SUCKS. Every now and then arround here someone hits a deer, elk or cow and gets killed. If you're not in a large enough vehicle, they have a tendancy to come up over the hood and into the passenger compartment. Quite a number of years back one guy hit a cow on a back road around here, and it ripped the top half of his pickup's cab off, along with the top half of his body. That's why I drive slow around here at night, hitting animals really blows, even though deer look small, they are very muscular, it's like hitting a 300lb pickle barrel with legs.
