The reason for the car

Guess maybe I should have explained a little to those who hadn't actually heard the news. The quick blog setup and posting was mostly to get the pictures out in circulation. Now maybe I should explain to those that don't know. I live in "God's Country" Clayton, NC. This just so happens to be one of the most bountiful areas filled with deer as well. As you've probably concluded, I met one of those deer up close and personal at about 45-50. It was early in the morning and it was out for a leisurely stroll completely ignoring the two cars coming at it from the opposite way till one slams on it's brakes at which point it jumps out right in front of me and I hit it. Next thing I know, the deer is in the air and completely vanishes. I never did see it again. Since it was dark, the damage didn't look that bad (which I thought was all cosmetic), even though I knew that I was not going to like the outcome. It wasn't till I almost made it to work (some 20 miles later) when smoke started to pour out of the hood. That's when I realized that the radiator hadn't survived the impact. I limp to the office and get out and see the carnage that you see below. Now I've got a Grand Prix (boring) while the dealership and body shop hash out some numbers for the insurance company to decide whether or not to fix or destroy. Hopefully news will come tomorrow.
