Man that must've been one helluva ride. You are one lucky guy to walk away from that. Especially w/o a scratch. Someone was watching over you. Glad you're ok.
Man, Sorry to hear it, glad you're alright.
I was coming down a twisty mountain road on Memorial Day and I hit some dirt. I locked up the tires and went the opposite way of you though - through some mud and into the mountain. None of us in the car knew we even hit the mountain except for the damage to the bumper. I was stuck in mud for an hour but everyone was OK. I need to post some pics. Just trying to say I know how it is and good luck.

Damn. How scary was that the moment that you knew you were gonna go over? 
Sorry about your car, but it really is amazing that you came out unscathed from that. Hopefully you hang out and keep posting around here. Next time, it's venison-jerky!

s***, Sound PhD...that looks like something you'd see in a movie...like you would have hit that turn straight on and just gone flying off. It's amazing that you're still alive, buddy...Good luck with getting all this sorted out. Your friends and family, and that includes all of us online folk, will be here for you (case in point is Steph!) 
Glad you're ok (it looks like there isn't even a scratch on *you*!) Best of luck with the coming days and weeks!

I would have hit the deer
you are lucky the car did not colapse on you or somthing
oh well your safe and thats all that matters right? right
next time you decide to go deer hunting take my car, 3100lbs of Raw iron, its the same size as the MSP too
if I see a deer in my way and I have nowhere to go, I'll be yelling "MY FENDER IS CAST IRON b**** YOU BETTER MOVE, I GOT 2800lbs ON YOUR ASS!!!"

u guys, thanks a lot for the kind words, really.
Like i told Steph, this has been the best summer ever.
Buying MSP turned out to be the greatest car-owning experience i think i will ever go through. All the friends i made, all the things i learned..........thank you.........all of u.
people that know me well know that i look at life a little differently.........the first thing that passed through my mind was......what an amazing view this is........
when i told my mom what happened, she hugged me, kissed me, and said: "**** that piece of metal" (btw, she loved my car), then took a pen and marked September 6th as my second birthday

Victor, glad to see you are ok. Sorry about the car, but you have the right attitude...it's replaceable, you aren't.
For the others, the reason you don't hit the deer is that there's a good chance the 400 lb. deer will come through the windshield after you hit it. Remember how messed up people were when some sh*thead kids dropped bricks off an overpass onto the cars on the freeway underneath? Well, imagine a 400 lb. brick and what that would do to you.
The only proper avoidance maneuver for this is one you practice all the time, at speed, when autocrossing: offset gates. I strongly recommend people at least try an autox course to get an idea of what your car can do near the limits of adhesion, and to train yourself to control the car properly when approaching those limits. When something like this happens, it's so fast you don't have time to think. You just react. It's worth it to hone those reactions off the street at your local autox.
