Definately some aberration in the Force this weekend. I started off the weekend by being rear-ended on my way home, Friday, to get ready for this thing. 
Only a scratch and a minor ripple near the rear licence plate but...
A real shame that Leo hit that deer. Fortunately no one was hurt (not counting the wildlife) and it happened close to the campground so we were able to tow him in.
lol - obviously I need to get this setup. My ride must be way to comfortable since my navigational unit (aka my 14 yr son) spent almost the entire journey either playing his gameboy or reading his book. I had to keep hitting him to get him to give me the next instruction 
He said he had fun though.

The ride quality was rough to say the least. Borderline grim for my co-driver (w/out a sports bra).

Hey everybody, The trip was unbelievable. Sorry Huck and i Took off early Sunday morning instead of staying with the group. But i was very tired and wanted to get home for the F1 race on SPEED. It was the last race for the year and i was hoping Kimi Raikkonen would win the championship of M. Schumacher. And of course Micheal ends up winning.
psoper thank you so much again. I was very happy that we got the time to hangout and talk till 2am. I got to know the people alot more. Including Daredevil's HOT mom.
Leo, i hope everything works out OK. And that your girl isn't traumatized too badly by having a buck almost die in her lap.
Huck the drive home was great. Taking thoughs corners as fast as we were going. Alot of fun.
Pete next year.... I'm already counting the days.

hey people! thanks for your concerns. My gf and I got back safe and sound. I ended up renting an auto mover and a truck from Uhal and tow the car back to Santa Cruz for repair. The damage wasn't as bad as I thought. Everything was good. One of the mechanic said if I pull the radiator out a little and replace the hose I should be able to drive it. The final estimate from Fortuna was about $5700. We'll see how much from Carmat (I don't really care since they do good work and insurance company is going to pay for it.)
boy, this was an expensive trip!
~1k due to the damage (detuctable, towing, hotel, etc...)

I don't know if your friend is the one that contacted me before I took off for the trip. I hope this doesn't discurage him from thinking of buying my car. The car will be put back like new in no time. Just about nothing will be fix, all will be replaced.

How badly damaged is iBlueVirus' car damaged? My friend was thinking about checking it out since he needs a new car.

Virus is a strong car. after the hit, it was still running, just without the radiator.

Dude, Leo has the worst luck with deer.
Sorry to hear about your car, and glad to hear Leo's OK after *another* homicidal deer attack.

btw- due to the lack of skid marks or other damage to the deer, and the damage to your hood, it looks like that fella went over your roof. Glad you and your girlfriend didnt end up with it in your lap.

Hey Leo,
Glad to hear you made it back OK, let me know when/where you want me to bring your stuff over, or if you want to come by my place in Berkeley and gather it up....whatever.
