not the greatest, but probably better then newer cars..most dents left will come out if you use a suction cup dent popper, like the one i got for a dollar at harbor freight

everything is sheet metal, but one way to get a dent out, saw this a while back, it should work, if not take the propane torch out!

Moral of the story, don't share a road with Randy! J/K.

I once totaled two cars (on separate occasions) with my heep. Total damage $40 for a new tie rod (including having the guy straiten my old one for a spare) and 0$ for a buddy to weld my steering stabilizer back together. That was way back when I was young, irresponsible, and worst of all drove a heep.

Last June 16th, 2.5 hours after buying an 01 ws6 trans am, a doe leapt out of a ditch and landed on the drivers side head lamp. Assembly and paint $1500.00

Don't swerve to avoid them. You have no control over them but can loose control if you swerve.

I think it's pretty much against the law in every State to keep your road kill. Has to do with NumbNutzz who would do it on purpose. If you do hit animals on purpose, as in hunting with your vehicle, you are a NumbNutzz.

In NH police departments are issued tags from fish & game so people that hit deer, moose, etc. can keep them. That's what I was hoping for so I could take it to the butcher. Of course many people cut their own deer, they usually take them home illegally. ....in NH if your transporting game it better have a tag on it.
