UGH that is just painful to look at! Glad you are OK, though, and thankfully the car can be fixed!

Thanks for the recommendation, we are taking the car up today.

Ok, then. I'm officially done whining about my door ding! Thanks for the update, though, as I'm taking Ramona to Loren at Import tomorrow and it's good to know you were pleased.

Driving into New Mexico while coming back from Colorado, I had a nature encounter outside of Raton. Early dusk, a young deer (fawn?) jumped out in front of us from the right side of the road. I braked fairly hard and so did the deer. The deer then momentarily stopped and then changed direction, forcing me into a little swerve. It felt like a scene out of a bullfight. After one more swerve both the young animal and we escaped unharmed.

If we had been in the big tree SUV, I doubt i would have even seen the little guy until it was too late.

Wife and child slept through it all. I guess now I can talk about the one that got away.

We have three laptops for three people . Mine just happened to be powered up...

I'm going to go back to the thread I started about my little door ding and post pictures in a minute. I just left Import Paint & Body, where Loren quoted me $729 . I have no choice but to use him, I think, since I want it done right, but .

I checked all the club lists I have, Luke, and didn't see anything about Import. What is our club discount there?

Ditto. Do you need a hunting license? Probably at least the dealer would be a good idea for warranty concerns.
