My car was totalled! (I hit a deer Pt. 2)

Unbelievable! :hangover:

I can’t believe that my car is totalled and now I have to get a new one.
I loved my car! :love:

Oh well…nothing I can do now but move on…sigh :frowning:

a bent hood and they “totaled” it ???

your prior pics didn’t look totaled, why don’t they just fix it ?

Same with me dude!

ewww! dan, what kinda paintjob d’ya call that?! :stuck_out_tongue:

the frame must have shifted or some supports were damaged. That would write off the car for sure. It’s way more expensive to fix that stuff than buy a new one of the same vehicle.

One that obviously isn’t on your vehicle. :wink:

It is lava. Spurt of the moment type of thing. In the end it was a waste of $6,000 in my opinion. Oh well, learn from mistakes. Girls likes it though. Sort of resembled a hot dog sprayed with ketchup and musturd.

I hadn’t considered that, :-\

…plastic brackets maybe ? :!:

Wow, nice big truck you got there (I share asphalt’s opinion about the painting though ;)).
Isn’t it very expensive? Or did you get it from your parents?

Thanks for the concerns all.

Dan - your truck is/was sweet. too bad it had to go, like mine.
Almost a shame since I actually loved my car. I’m really still in
shock that I won’t have that car any more. :*(

the reason it was totalled is that the core support was wrecked.
That’s the molding and mounting area all around the wheel wells,
where the motor mounts, shock towers, radiator, compressor, etc
all attach to, and is welded to the frame. All of which, was
crushed backwards and down into the front end of the motor,
destroying the

plastic? not hardly. I was going 60mph and hit a 150lb moving
object. Not too many things are going to survive that impact with
little damage.

Off to car-hunting I go… :run:

now you can use the insurance money to get it painted to proper colors!

That sucks :frowning: Any idea of what kind of car you will buy next?

Cheers!

car – wreck – deer – hot dogs

where did we go wrong here? :h:

Its is these foreign cars man now if you had a 1970 ford or Chevy not only would the deer had been killed instantly but you wouldn’t have a scratch on it. hahha kinda funny that the deer walked away but the car didn’t well your car fought the Battle but the deer won the war.
