Exclamation Using the Titan as a truck, or why SUVs sux

Today I was going to carry our old 65" HDTV over to my Sister-In-laws house, and my nephew and her came by to help load the beast into the Titan.

I open the door and she says, "do you know there is a dead deer right there"?
I'm thinking, ya I'm going to deal with it in a few days or maybe next weekend.

Anyway, wtf? there's a nice ~75-80 pound doe laying there below the redwood walk near the front door, no signs of trauma, and too far from the road to get thrown there.

So I call up animal control. They first ask for my name and phone number ... then they tell me if it's on the county maintained road easement, that they'll pick it up, but since it is on my property, I have to deal with it, and we've got your number!

So we end up first tossing a dead deer into the Titan and heading to the dump, where they stick my for $12.75. The guy there says, "word of advice, you really ought to have wrapped it".

I'm thinking to myself, wrap it? ... it won't fit under the Christmas tree anyway. [From more conversation sounded like he was friendly with the local deer herds, and may have recognized it ].

Anyway, my Titan carried out two very different tasks today that a SUV either can't do, or at least you wouldn't want to do with one.

OMG!!! I totally did not even think to click a pic.
Picture a deer with its eyes open and tongue hanging out and a garbage bag placed on it as a diaper.
