$2100.00 road trip-not good

I am back from my road trip. Decided to make it short. Drove 1257 miles from NW, Mo. to Texas in one day. Left 5:30 am on thursday and arrived there about 2:00pm. Loaded up and came back. Made 1254 miles no problem. Three miles from home a deer decided to crash headfirst into my drivers door. She went down the side and mashed the bedside. Ripped the mudflap and pushed it through the sidewall of the rear tire. Blew out the tire and sent me for the ditch. She went under the trailer and I drug her to a stop. She got up and ran off like nothing happened. The tire shop had torqued the nuts so tight I could not get them off. Had to walk the last 3 miles home and get tools. Went back and drilled the center out of a couple of studs and the nuts came loose. Estimate to repair is $1987.00. Made it to bed at 6:30 am. 25 hour trip.
Hope everyone else is having better luck.
