Hey, that windshield is a good idea. Cracked on impact, didn't it? (Kyle, delete these two posts if it did )

I need to check, but I think it'* still archery season here. Time for Christy to renew the license especially since i just saw the poor guy'* car. Pictures are worth a million words, but it seems like about a billion when you see it in person. That deer did a lot of damage to the front end. Poor guy...and poor car!!!

Aftermath:

I got the little bastard...


This is where it happened...I was almost to the farm...


$2600 estimate. I pay $250. They are going to comb the AC condenser, new hood, new headlight, used corner light, new grill, fix the bumper and repaint it, and this shop is going to paint the stripes on for me UNDER the clear coat so it will look professional...but the back will still be the same old style (doesn't matter). Oh...and I get a new windshield.
