I hit a deer on a lonely and dark 2 lane Hwy 7 in Arkansas in my old 79
loaf coming back from a kayak float and that deer hadn't been in that ditch
2 minutes when Buba and Joe Bob pulled up and asked what happened.  When I
told them, they literally asked me if I was gonna eat it, and when I said
no, they hauled it off in the back of their pickup truck.  It then dawned
on me that any evidence of the collision was now gone and when the
sheriff  came to fill out the report, we collectively found some deer fur
caught in  a piece of semi-dislodged bondo from a previous wreck.  Long and
the short of it was it cost $1100 to fixit.  There's prolly some Vanagon
content in there somewhere.

If Chuck HIll is out there listening, he's got quite a stash of Vanagon
carcasses sitting by one of his barns.  Not sure if he's willing to part
with any of them or parts attached thereto.
