Default Wifey killed Bambi yesterday

Ronda hit a deer or rather a deer hit her on the freeway yesterday she was doing 70 MPH. She was driving Liz (our 2012 Buick lacrosse).

Thank god she was ok but not so good for Liz. Deer took out the driver side of the car, lost the mirror, and went over the roof of the car and scamperd into the woods.

$2,500 damage to Liz suprizing low for what happened. Insuurance will cover all of it with us paying a $100 deductable. Got her a doge avenger for a rental meanwhile. Work is being done by Mason Auto Body my fav shop!

Hi `Tadd, Sorry to read about Ronda's accident, but thankful to read that she's is `OK & that you have good insurance to cover `Liz

I hope it wasn't one of Santa's reindeer's, cause he keep missing my place every year Maybe, I need to put up a Christmas tree ? LOL..

I hope your autoBody shop does a good job on the Buick

It's also another reminder to be a defensive driver, but animals can cause a lot of damage to a car & the people inside of it...What `if 4-Sure...Count your blessings

Ah Space you always make me laugh! Ya Mason auto body is a great shop. The driver that drove me home remembered where I live even. He told me that was a bad sign when an auto Body shop knows me by 1st name and where I live. (LOL)

Not all of my experainaces wit Mason auto Body have been accidents though. They did custom work on my hood and I hate stone chips to they do those for me too when ever i get them on my cars.

I even lined up a job there after I retire in 3 more years. Just part time sweeping floors, runnig parts and customers and having them teach me how to paint. They liked my pinstripping and so maybe I can do that for them too.

Sorry to hear about the Buick, but that can be replaced, people can't, so glad she is fine! It is cool you get to be at your favorite shop and quite possibally will be able to work there. I guess a lot of things work out in your favor sometimes.
