1) DS is fine.
2) Did you know?
Pennsylvania had the second highest rate of car accidents involving deer in the country last year. Pennsylvanians have a one in 70 chance of being involved in a deer-related accident. There were 141,000 Pennsylvania deer-crash insurance claims reported from July 1, 2017, through June 2018
11:30 PM the phone wakes us up it is Cool Hand.. he is about a mile away and he tells the sleepy Mrs. “I hit a deer”. He was on the way to gym. Yes Cool Hand sleeps late and keeps odd hours (5 As and a C+ this semester lets keep things in prospective.). We dress, are out the door and find him in ten minutes. The car is still in the middle of the road, flashers on. I force the drivers door open and pull it to the side of the road. He must have hit pretty hard the front fender has shifted, the headlight is pointing the wrong way and there is fluid leaking. The deer is nearby taking its final rest. The police arrive and tell us if you can drive it home no police report is needed -just report it to your insurer. I tell my son “you know nothing good happens after midnight”. This morning I’ll will apologize.. that 14 year old, 140,000 mile Honda CRV was my reliable buddy for 8 years. Then it’s college life- 4 years for the daughter and 2 years for the Cool Hand. I know silly -an inanimate object. We had hoped it would get him through his last 2 years in undergraduate school. In truth I was always expecting some kind of a catastrophic final breakdown call. The Mrs said that car owes us nothing...
The old car is sitting in the street I’m sure it is ‘totaled’. Book Value will be minimal - $500 deductible. I’m guessing anything running is worth 3 grand so maybe ill see $2,000. I’m not sure how to get rid of it? Maybe the insurance company will take care of that?
Now we need to find him something.. My first 5 months of retirement have been interesting: New Boiler, termites, another bulge ($7,000) in the stucco..and now a car -thats life I guess -no complaints.
What do you think? Craigs list, EBay, Toyota or Honda Dealership. I dont want anything too new- it will be a parking lot queen much of the time. i do want reliability.
Your ideas will be appreciated...
