Wrecking a car you really like is worse than scrunching some old junker. The nicest car I have ever had, our '02 9-5 got hit Wednesday evening, right at dusk by an unlicensed, uninsured (isn't that the way it always is?) deer that decided to cross the highway as I was glancing down at the speedometer and thinking that 70 was fun but maybe a little too fast on this 55 limit curvy 2 lane highway. Looked up from the speedo & there it was centered right in front of me, staring death in the face at what seemed like less than 50 ft. Stomed on the brakes & I burned rubber as she burned hooves trying to skedaddle, but she was too slow. Plastic flew like down feathers as I hit her in the hindquarters, & me without a deer tag in the middle of deer season! I pulled over as soon as there was a safe spot, then went back to pull the fresh meat off the road so no one else would have an accident from hitting her, but she was gone and probably a goner by now. Took out the left headlight, parking light, dented the hood & the body shop guy found a dent in the passenger door. $3,200. USAA covers it under comprehensive, so it will only cost me $50.
