Bambi VS Altima: No Contest

Sometimes in life you just don't know what you are going to run into.

Literally.

Take a look for yourself

Yes it's true. Altima, meet Bambi. Bambi meet Altima. It was a sad night about a month ago driving home from another vigorous day at work.

I was happily driving along University Avenue, when all of the sudden, wildlife appeared right in front of my car.

First:

Yes, University Avenue

Second:

Yes, Wildlife in front of my car

Well, let's just say it wasn't a Cougar (ha ha get it? because BYU is in Provo and their mascot is a Cougar and that would be symbolic of wildlife at the same time!

Nope, it was Bambi and a friend. Don't believe me? Take a look at the fine detail below:

Yup, as I was cruising along at about 50 mph, the two deer appeared right in front of me. I hit the breaks and braced myself for the monumental encounter, and sure enough, I grazed one and hit the other one head on before sliding to a stop on the icy road and looking back to see a herd of their friends dashing into the trees

Now, don't think I'm heartless or anything, it was not a fun experience and I don't enjoy running over furry animals. Thankfully the one went over the top of the car and not through the windshield. Amazingly enough, two other cars hit deer at nearly the same time, and neither of them got hurt either. That's what matters most.

After calling the police and having a good ole' talk with Officer Chambers of the Provo Police Department at the scene of the demolition derby, he instructed me to fill out a police report and get the insurance and registration out of the vehicle for him.

UH OH!

The Nissan, which I was driving in place of my pretty Mustang because of the crummy weather, was not licensed.

Way to go Jeff.

Wait, Not only that, as I spoke with Officer Chambers, I noticed, my tail light was out and oh yeah, there was no insurance information in the car.

DOUBLE UH OH!!!!

It was at this moment I wish I had a girlfriend who could flirt with him and possibly get me off the hook for such follies and blunders.

But, have no fear, he didn't care (Officer Chambers, I owe you dinner at the Chuck O" Rama), and he let me go without any punishment or problems.

However, I can't say the same about the Nissan:

(Farewell Dear Friend)

Yup, it's true, the Nissan has been deemed "Done For" by some guy in a suit in Salt Lake. So it is off to the totaling yard for it. Great, my first accident (besides hitting an abandoned car in the middle of an open field.... yeah that's another story).

I just wonder... Whatever happened to the grill of the car.....
