I just got off the Narrows Bridge and was taking an off ramp. My speed was about 55. I hit the brakes and steared the wrong way. Who knows how fast I was going when I* hit it. There was big thunk and I drug it a ways. It was not pretty. It was alive when I walked back to it but, died shortly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I'm OK but, kind of shook up. The car is toast. The air bags didn't deploy but, the right front quarter panel is folded, hoods toast, grill is gone, headlight is gone, radiator is holed, alignment is off and I think the front end is pushed to the left. The car is a 95 with 148 thou, no collision coverage. Luckily, I have a body shop guy as a patient this morning. I bet I'll be getting a salvage yard to tow it. I guess I'll be shopping for a car this afternoon Dave |

No collision or comprehesive on it. Blue book value is somewhere between 2 and 3 thou. My patient who owns an autobody place says 2500 to 3000 for repairs. Doesn't really make sense to fix it. The radiator is holed so it'll never see the home side of the bridge again unless it's towed. I think the best solution is to drive it to the local wreaking yard and try for a couple of bucks. Any local guy that wants a 2.2l Subi with all the electronics better speak up. 148000 miles so it ain't no spring chicken but, it was service every 3 thousand. Still it has all the electronics. Any body that wants it pays for towing and a couple of C notes I'll talk. I'd just as soon have someone who might be able to use it get a deal as let Hap the wrecker profit. He's always gouged me anyway.
I have a bit of a sore back. I must have flinched or something. That should be good for a weekend of relaxation. The deer is gone. I'm sure it was knocking at the pearly gates when I left. Breathing was inconsistent and frothy blood out of the nostrils. Maybe someone has it hanging but, not me. The wife is trying to hold onto cash but, I'm pushing for a Honda Fit. Nice small parts hauler and a definite upgrade from the Subi. Still she's tight and it's going to be an uphill battle. Anyway thanks for everyones concern. Dave |
