      A Donner ran in front of the Goat on the way home from work tonight causing just enough damage to require an appointment to the body shop (left front fender has some new bends) but not enough to stop the headlights from working. sheeeeesh :'(

      I am glad that you are ok and the goat was only scuffed up a bit.

      Down here, our dears are of the "grey hair" variety and don't move fast enough to challenge ones driving dexterity unless the driver is taking "reds" or a modern day equivalent. However, their pesky little aluminum framed walkers can leave a mark if you aren't careful.

        Bummer Tom. Hopefully it won't slow your progress toward departure for the PT....

          thanks fellas,

          No this won't impact PT schedule...and lucky for me it wasn't worse...unfortunately I too damn attached to my junk and get bummed when they get nicked up. I'll get over it.

            Tom, glad to hear that all is okay, and not too much damage done. I hit a deer once and done 2100 dollars in damage to my car.
            It's not the destination, but the journey and the friends you make along the way that counts.

              Tom, Good that there was not too much damage. As my wife likes to say it's just a car.

                  It's just a car :D. Did you at least get the back strap off the deer? It doesen't usually get damaged in a deer/car collision.

                    I wonder how many inches of salt came off my truck last night washing it in the driveway?
                    6 beers and a hand wash made it look near black again.

                      Spring time in South Dakota means melting snow and usually some river flooding. Some of the "Gear Headed" young folks were out making good use of the flooded river.

                        Donking the wagon - and no that isn't meant to be Don King

                        So would it still be consider a Donk if it is slammed?

                          Allen, I wouldn't donk it. I think that's a hideous form of style, and wouldn't go well with your persona.......unless you operate a clandestine business I am not aware of........ ;D
                          If you slam it further, you may have inner fender clearance issues, and donking would only exasperate that problem.

                          It sits very well now, IMHO, but it's your choice.
