I drive 40 miles one way to work everyday and have done so for about 4 years now. I have hwy 321 construction that is a pain, terrible roads, rock slides, drunk college kids and a vast array of other nusiances to deal with. Today on my way home from work I collected a nice deer hood ornamate on my 2008 Toyota Camry SE. This was about 6:45 PM , and I have no cell service on my way down the mtn for about 6 miles. So, after a off duty fed ex driver takes me back up the mtn far enough for cell service, a call to the highway patrol, a trip back to my car to wait for the highway patrol, the highway patrolmans arrival and paperwork, a call for a wrecker, wait and trip back down the mtn with said wrecker driver, wife picking me up at bodyshop fenced compound and trip home its 9:15. Well, I guess it was against the odds (or Gods) that I could do it forever without incident huh? Will get to the bodyshop at 8:00 am tomorrow and see how much the estimate will be. As near as I can surmise probably a passenger side front fender, hood, nose cone, ground effects, radiator. This thing looked like a 600 lb. steroid bulked wildebeast of a deer as I slammed into him. After the sliding and cussing and subsequent walk back up to look at what I was sure would qualify for the Boone and Crockett record books I was bewildered and ( If I had not been so pis-sed) slightly amused at the pitiful looking approx. 90 lb critter carcass staring back at me! Anyways thats life on the mtn ......tonight nothing to drink, nothing to smoke, to mule lipped but, nobody got hurt and Toyota's cranking out Camrys everyday...I think I'll go to bed now ....
