My Jeep is so cool, the deer are even attracted to it

If you're my friend on Facebook or are following me on Twitter, you heard that I hit a deer with my new Jeep on Saturday. Luckily, I was driving slowly and the damage was just to the front hood. I'm fine, by the way... thanks for asking.

Some observations:

1 -When you hit a deer, people are more concerned with the well being of the deer than you. I don't know how many times people have asked about how the deer was before inquiring about me or my car. The stupid animal ran into ME... I didn't go hunting him down!

2 - Insurance companies have a sense of humor. I'm on the phone a few minutes after the deer hit and the agent is laughing at me because I haven't even had my first oil change yet. Thank goodness I'm not one of guys who is obsessed with his car, otherwise I think I might have been offended by the laugh at my expense.

3 - When you drive around town with deer fur hanging out of your hood, people get out of your way pretty fast.

I'll fill you in on the rest Monday morning.
