SETTING: My house as I speak to a USAA rep regarding my vehicle, which struck a deer 30 miles from home during my return trip from Mississippi.
INSURANCE REP— … and I understand the damage to the vehicle is along the left front corner, and along both door panels?
ME– Yes.
INSURANCE REP– And I understand the driver’s side door no longer opens?
ME– Yes. I had to climb out through the passenger door. But it still drives fine.
INSURANCE REP– Well, sir, we actually consider the car to be undriveable at this point. If you were to drive it and something were to happen to the passenger door, and it was not able to open either, how would you be able to get out of the vehicle?
ME– Dukes of Hazzard style!
(Pause)
INSURANCE REP– Heh.
(I was just glad she got the reference.)
