Final tally: $4,879.62

I was a bit off in my previous post. Turns out, driving your car into a deer has been hit by the recession, too, and you can now get in and out for a bit under 5 grand. 

Hardly the heydays of early 2003 Deer Bubble, when the furry quadrupeds would be lined up along the shoulder of the road, leaping out in front of your car just to see if they could earn that now infamous "Ten G's for Bambi" claim to fame. Back then, if you weren't missing at least one or two prongs on your antlers, bouncers in the toniest clubs in New York wouldn't even let a well-dressed deer in for a drink.

And who can forget this guy and his YouTube hit, White Tailed Levis? Ah, memories.

GEICO says I should have my check on Friday.
