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.

last winter in the time of about 2 weeks i hit first a guardrail, and then a deer. my dads friend has a bodyshop not 2 far from my house so we took it there. i needed two low beams, one highbeam, both front fenders, front bumper, and my drivers side door and back fender behind the wheelwell needed fixed also. all of the parts came from toyota, is this typical or does nobody make oems . they also gave me money for the wheels i skuffed up. all and all it came to 3300. thats 200 less than i payed for the car. i have full coverage and with the money for the wheels i didnt buy i used that for the deductible and payed him 500 dollars more to paint the rest of the car. if i ever get a digital camera i will put pics up he made it a kinda different looking silver with whatever he put in the paint when the sunlite or flourescent lights are on it it almost looks chrome.
