Deer 1...Ginger 0. Well, okay, maybe Ginger got half a point.

My wife got blindsided from the left this morning about 9:30 by a deer. He was the lead, and there were two more behind him, according to the guy that was driving behind my wife who stopped to see if he could help after all was said and done. At first glance, it's just the door. But...the sill under the door got it too. Not sure how big this deer was, or where exactly center mass hit, but it used up this door. Amazingly, no airbag deployment, and no broken glass (aside from the mirror, which I never knew was heated until I saw the lens dangling from the car...huh!)

Rigmaster's got a line on a door for me, but the frame scares me. I'd total it if I were the man, but miracles can be done on these jokers. Any opinions? I welcome thoughts about the likelihood that this is fixable.








On a happier note, while all this was going on, Web and I were on our way to the Ultimate Drive, where we sampled the 550i, 325xiT, and 530xiT. Check out the odometer on the 550i...
