The car should be finished by next Monday or Tuesday and I'll bring it home....<snip>...

Any word on the car today ?

I did not have to ask why on picking up the doors, and I think the majority here are pack rats the same.
I might have stripped out the glass, wiring and parts leaving the bent sheet metal for the scrap guy.  You are just taking the why spend the time on it now, if I never have to angle. :clap:

did you kiss a utility pole or tree ?
- It looks like a perfect round dent on the block heater plug.

It is kind of a shock what truck bumpers are like these days.  Makes me want to go out and get ranchhand bumpers front and rear.

Geez Dave, that's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It still sucks though. I'm assuming the deer looked worse?

I didn't think it looked bad either until the guy at the body shop started pulling chunks of plastic out of the passenger side wheel well and took the winter front off the grill.

There is a bunch of hidden damage which includes both headlights, fog light, grill, A/C condenser, bumper cover, and the bumper plus what ever they might find when they take it apart next week. I managed to hit the yearling instead of the Mom but it would have been a lot worse if I hadn't seen Mom first and started slowing down. I'm actually very surprised the air bag didn't go off since the deer hit right where the tow hook in on the passenger side.

Ah yes, the infamous "hidden damage." It's amazing how much stuff you can't see gets broken these days.

BTW, I tagged the rear bumper of the Tacoma this morning whilst parking it at 4 AM to get in the salt truck. Many bad words were used. Fortunately, it's just the bumper.  :moody:

I almost backed into the passenger side quarter panel with the box blade on my tractor this morning while I was plowing my driveway. :crazy:

I choose not to comment on any of this in fear of following down the same path.  So, um... happy Tuesday? Or any other completely irrelevant statement.
