F*CK... F*CK... F*CK...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, not the computer this time.

My baby, my car, is nine month in my pocession, and I decided it was time to introduce her to a Minnesota Deer.

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving in to work last night and was just getting into Rochester and I saw the vehicle ahead of me do a little shimmy.
I didn't see anything and kept going.
Then all of a sudden there was a deer walking across the highway. Not running. Not jumping. Just walking. :o :o :o
I slammed on my brakes and hit the deer with the passenger front corner of my car.
I pulled over to the side of the highway and got out to see the damage.
The headlight is basically gone. The bumper is a mess. The right front side panel is messed up and pushed back far enough that I can't open the passenger door. There is a small dent and scratch on the passenger door. The hood looks a little cockeyed.
I got back in the car and it was driveable so I headed for the hospital, and of course my station floated me off, and I had to sit with a confused patient on another station.
I looked up Subaru's website and it said that they do collision repairs. So I planned to head there after work, and then head to my insurance agent.
I got done with work and headed out to my car, and lo and behold a great big pickup truck parked next to me and I couldn't get in the driver side door. This is when I realized that the passenger door doesn't open any more.
I called "Parking" and they sent somebody out, and his first thought, Do you want me to crawl through the passenger side.
I said, that would be great, but I hit a deer and the door doesn't open now.
So he took down the license plate number of the pickup and tracked the driver down and eventually he showed up and moved his truck out so I could get in my car.
I headed to Subaru and sure enough they don't actually do repairs at the dealership. They have a repair shop at their GMC dealership. So I drove out there, of course on the other side of Rochester, and got an estimate written up. Nearly $8000. And that doesn't count the stuff they can't see under the hood.
Then I drove home and stopped at the insurance agent, and they took down the info and forwarded it to the powers that be.
Now I wait for them to contact me with a claim number and whatever else they have to say. :o :o :o :o :o

As the old saying goes, If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and as bad as I feel for myself and my car, I feel horrible that the deer probably died a slow and painful death. I can only hope the shock and damage it received caused a quick death. :( :( :(
