the worst part is i hate driving around with it looking like this. it makes me sick to drive around with a dent on the side and duct tape on the mirror. went to the junkyard as well during the weekend and couldnt find a single mirror but i did find some trim panels for the interior

I missed one by 10 feet a week ago to this day driving to work in my other car which is my DD(Honda). Late at night with no cars insight makes for some interesting travel on the interstate. Weird thing about it was is that I was watching for deer just like I always do but this one jumped up from a ravine and I had very little time to react. Pissed me off though because I had to slam on my brakes at 70 mph and got it down to 55 as it whiffed by me just feet ahead. Locked the brakes up for 50 to 100 feet and put some bald spots on my front tires, but it could of been MUCH WORSE!

Along with the 2 dents in the pics we also fixed many other imperfections on that side. it looks soo much better and i will get pics soon. Also i glued the mirror together hah but a new one is on the way. i also redid my entire window tint and now has 5% all the way around.

I would have knocked that deer out...shaved "I'm a tool" into his hide, and then....after a barrage of humiliating photos, I'd cook me some veal
