I was driving home from work at 4:30 in the morning new years morning. A deer jumped in front of my car and just stood there.
He jumped so late I couldn't avoid him. He went flying up and over the roof of my car. Chunks were still hanging on the front end of my car as it was loaded onto a flat bed.
AAA should be here shortly, no doubt it's gonna be a total lose being a 94. It wasn't really that hard of a hit, just needs a hood, fender, bumper, air bags, and the front radiator support is bent in a little.

I have a headache but I think that's from my sore neck. I felt fine after the accident, had my girlfriend pick me up and the went snowboarding.
When we got back monday night I was in so much freakin pain. I am going to the chiropractor and Dr. today.

Stupid deer. Take some Vicodins and get a Cervini's front end to feel better.

car is totalled now I get to argue over how much it's worth. I'll be in the market for a 99+ up black GT.
I still have my 18'' black deep dish FR500 wheels I got for christmas that I never put on

lol I don't want that payment! Although the 03-04 cobra would bury my pains I was planning to buy a house by June or July so it's not likely I can afford both.
Were you happy with your Mach1? I am debating whether to pick up a cheap 99+ GT or Cobra or even pay more for a Mach 1.
I thought about another 94-98 mustang (love that body style) but I don't want to go thru this same thing any accident and the value is more than the car.

That really sucks - at least you did the safe thing and just hit the deer instead of swerving into another car or off the road.
Definately buy the house before the expensive car if you can.

Sorry to hear about the car man, but there may be some good news. If you were injured coming home from work, you're covered under worker's comp. Tell your supervisor about it if you think you may end up needing something serious like long term chiropractic(sp) care.

It was on my way home I worked OT on new year's (suprisingly calm night). I am a little jacked up. The chiropractor went thru range of motions and I am stiff and limited in my movement. Went to work anyway.
I felt it last night at work, got into a small fight and my neck was throbbing, and had a slamming headache afterwards. I may have to go on light duty.
I thought I could just pop some Motrin and be all good, but the chiro explained it as having injured my neck twice, once on impact and then my neck snapping again from the air bag.

Yeah man, you should be covered. Time for Tax-free money. Picture getting your check without ANY state or Federal taxes being taken out. I'm sure it works like our system. Just fill out a claim as soon as possible with you supervisor. Or ask a labor rep about coverage. I know we are covered for anything that happens to or from work. Put that money back into the stang,...or another one.
