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.

Sucks to hear about the accident man!

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.
