So anyway, I was able to get to work and home the next morning without further incident- and since then things have actually been going pretty smoothly. My dealings with insurance, repair shops and rental agencies have been efficient, bordering on pleasent, experiences. And now that all the details have been squared away, I've been thinking about trying to find things to be thankful for in the midst of an angst inducing situation. So these were the three things that I found to be thankful for despite having just recently launched a deer off the hood of my car:
1- No people were damaged in this incident, just my car (oh, and the deer).
2- From what I hear, deer heaven is lovely this time of year.
3- Our insurace totally covers a rental car while our's gets fixed, and this is the car they gave us to use...
I don't much of anything about cars, but I am pretty sure that this is race car. I think that it is a Saab 3-90 (or maybe a 9-30?) and the rental guy desribed the car's interior to me (with a straight face) as "buttery" leather. It turns out he was right, the interior is buttery, and it also turns out that I really like butter.
I'm feeling a little car-loyalty guilt here so let me just say that I love our little Versa and can't wait till she comes back to us ship-shape. But maybe, just maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing if they had to take a few extra days to get things exactly right...

Rob we are so thankful that you weren't injured. The Lord was looking over you!
Things do have a way of working out with the insurance, repairs and car rental. So thankful also that you had the car rental option to your car insurance policy. For those who don't have that option, it might be good to check your policy. It is very inexpensive and does not much at all to your yearly premium.
For now have fun with the Saab, "sports car", but don't get too use to it. Before you know it the family car will be back in your drive way.
Our Versa knew that something had happened to your Versa. It was like when twins know when the other is in pain.
Praise God that you're OK, and that the Versa will be OK too.
P.S. Enjoy the Saab. We love our Versa, but Rhianwen longs to own a piece of Swedish engineering again.
LOL! yes, much to be thankful for. besides, in MHO, there are too many deer in PA. Down here it's open season all year long - for anything with 4 legs! yep. true story.
Glad to hear that you are all good. However, that is really funny that you have such a sweet car to drive around now... Maybe you should start tagging dear like we tagged geese!
Or not... Just a thought...
