Well, in addition to finding out that I screwed myself out of $14K today by taking the job at Scott AFB, I plow through a deer with the Celica on the way home from base tonight after bowling in the league. Damage seen below:
     Looks to be mostly cosmetic. Getting an estimate tomorrow and most likely dropping off at the body shop tomorrow too. Fortunately, Comprehensive with Geico covers "animal damage" as they put it. Unfortunately, the $1K deductible (hey gotta keep some kind of sanity with insurance premiums in NJ) is going to be a hard pill to swallow considering the untimely manner in which this happened.

ouch... but really, you should try to fix it yourself, you can get a used fender for like $75-125, a used front bumper for like $100-200, and a sidemarker for ~$10. then just have it painted, and it'll probably total less than a grand.
