Unhappy found some damage...

so today a co-worker comes into my office and says "omg, did you see that big crack in your hood?" i thought he was just joking around and brushed it off. well, i go to get lunch, and look at the front of the hood and what looked like a reflection (following the contour) actually turns out to be a decent crease in the sheetmetal and the paint is starting to crack and flake off around it. the grill is held on with 2 out of the 4 clips.

hooray for low deductibles.

I almost hit a deer the other day on highway 49. I was driving at a pretty low rate of speed(in the camaro), I wasn't driving like a jack *** this time when all of a sudden all I could see to be what looked like 4 little legs in the middle of the road, so i locked it up turned on the high beams, and sure enough the deer just sat there and had a staring contest with me...

Then oventually he ran and jumped straight up the mountain side... Deers are creepy when they sit there and stair at you

ha. this dude i work with said the exact same thing.

but then i remembered that leases have something called a residual value and need to be traded back in after a few years.
