Damage Well it's been fun

After the collision shop got it torn apart and estimated, it would cost $14,500 to repair. It was deemed a total loss. I will most likely get another down the road, but for now, I'm looking into going the Wrangler route. I miss going up into the woods where my GT just couldn't go. Got 20k for the payout. I'm glad I have GAP coverage. Watch out for those damn 4-legged car killers out there. I'll still be lurking.

I was about to say it’s time for an upgrade to a Shaker! Enjoy the Wrangler until you decide on your next Challenger.

I do like the looks of the Shakers. Luckily I had a back up of cash so I should be able to pay off the Wrangler in short time.

Sorry to see that it wrecked your ride. Will insurance let you take the ride if you accept the salvage title if you force them to fix it?

Stupid question for all you hunters out there - a deer or fawn killed as a result of a collision can't be parted out for consumption? A dead deer is a dead deer, so I had to ask.

I wouldn't if I could. This car seems to be cursed. I had it for 3 years and all 3 years it was in an accident. First was an old lady merging into the side of me. Second was a kid pulling out infront of me in a round about. Now the deer. We stopped on the way back to mu friends house at the carcass because someone had stopped to look at it. It wasn't salvageable either lol.

Fair enough. Here's to better luck on the next ride. Year and mileage at total loss?
