Re: Statistically, it was only a matter of time
I would have had to go back home and get my truck. Actually, it probably would have fit, but it would have been messy. Wife probably wouldn't have went for the idea either.

Re: Statistically, it was only a matter of time
before a whitetail deer committed suicide by throwing itself in front of my car...
Finally happened Saturday night, we were right on the edge of town (literally, a 1/4 mile before the houses start) just at dark and I had let my guard down... My wife pointed at one on the left and I failed to see the five on the right, one of which jumped into the road just as I was turning my head to check that side. I was doing around 45mph. The damage: Big dent on the top of the hood near the front on the pass side, broken headlight, pass side front fender dented up enough that the front door won't open all the way, dent and trim torn off of the pass side front door. We have full coverage, but it's a '03 Hyundai Accent with 170,000mi. The insurance guy is supposed to call us back today, I'm wondering if it's totalled, we still owe about 2 grand on it.
PITA.

Why do I suddenly feel like I walked into Cold Case Files?

Some of us have heard those cries, the screams...
