I should go to mechanic school because DAMN.

Got the estimate for my car today. $4700! They are replacing the hood, bumper, grill, left front fender, left headlight, and they said the radiator needed to be replaced too. They said it wasn't leaking or anything, but they said it was kind of bent and it was better to just replace it and the supports for it. My partner in Hot Pocket jokes Dave Carter assures me that none of these things will effect how the car drives and she will be totally perfect once again. I'm really glad I only have to pay $500 of this. (My grandma gave me $300 towards this so actually, this whole debacle is only costing me $200.)

I still feel like a retard. I miss my baby. I don't get her back until next Thursday. I am seriously going to kiss the car when I pick her up. I'll post pictures. There will be lips on fiberglass.

This is the only time this is ever going to happen. Next time I'll just run over the fucking deer carcass and take my chances with that.

Is it the 19th yet?

Yikes, that's a lot of money. I'm glad you don't really have to spend the entire amount.
If it makes you feel a little better, the deer carcass would have beaten up your car anyway (probably not as badly, but you'd still have to do some repairs- and there might be, err, deer caught in your undercarriage. Ew) so you made the right choice, even if it still sucks.

Ugh. That is just gross. When I talked to the guy at the Toyota garage he knew exactly what deer I was talking about. The thing has been laying partly in the road on a busy residential street for DAYS. WTF TOWN?

Seriously- isn't that what your tax dollars are for? Cleaning up dead roadkill??

SERIOUSLY! I mean, it's not like they spend any money on snow removal down here. That's just so unsanitary! I mean, it's in town near people's houses and then there are pets and kids around and the town just thinks it's okay to leave a giant rotting animal there for days when it's been 70+ degrees! YOU'RE SO CLASSY LYNCHBURG!
