I can't catch a break., I don't think this'll buff out Options

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.

I talked about a Curren Conversion, but decided it's not worth it. Don't really like the GT4 conversion either, it's just too busy up front.

I would actually give fixing it myself a go if not for one thing: Time. I'm really pressed for time right now, considering I got that job in Scott AFB so most of my free time for at least the next month is going towards home improvements to get the house ready for sale. Another factor is space. I have no inside area to work on the car and have zero interest in working on it in a "natural" environment.

I'm going to talk to the body shop guy today and see if we can't work something out in terms of parts/labor like if I bring in the parts instead of letting him outsource them. Something to help out. I've got the $1K sitting there anyway, but it's not $1K that I expected to give up suddenly.
