I hate Deer

Last night at 1230am a deer ran into my car on the driver's side at approx. where the side view mirror is located. I no longer have a side view mirror. Also, there is damage all along the driver's side of the car. It was really scary. It came out of nowhere. I was driving. I screamed. I saw the deer's head like a half second before it hit, but at that point it was too late. It was like blink there is a deer and done blinking there was no deer. I didn't lose control, so that was good. I thought that there was going to be blood all over the car, that is how hard it seemed to hit. But there wasn't.

I have Geico and I have to say that they are great. It is going to be classified as a non-fault comprehensive loss. I have a $500 deductible. Geico will pay all costs after that. I just have to bring it to the Geico adjuster, who will give me an estimate and then I can bring it anywhere I want to get it fixed. Anyway, I have taken some photos today. You can see a little bit of the hair in the car. Gross.


Below - no more side mirror; the first of the damage that I saw when still driving.

The door doesn't open from the outside. It can only be opened from the inside. The handle mechanism and stuff must be all messed up.

That is all for now. I hate deer.

New post coming soon as I was tagged by Kate to listed 7 random things about myself.....

aawww Kate - I'm sorry the deer hit you. Now we know why there's so much freaking road kill up there - the animals aren't the brightest.

I'm in Birmingham now & missing my knitting buddy!

Deer definitely aren't the brightest!

I'm glad to hear that you made it safely to Birmingham! I miss you too!

I'm almost to the point where I will be dropping stitches in clapotis. Pictures will be up soon!!!
