Well I fixed it so there's one less of them critters for us to run into.I believe that makes it about 8 now in my life time I hit. Good thing I didn't hit it with my bike. My riding seasons been over for the year since july because of my arms so I had the car.  The friggin bummer is we never had a new car  an bought a 14 outback to celebrate our 40th anniv. an damn near got killed in it on our trip last year because of some idiot. Then got another same an this year had a sob in a grain trailer try to get us by running a stop at a T At 40-50mph and then the car was taken out by one of them hooved critters an not even a buck. Damage to the Outback was $7, 000. Good thing about the repairs is the shop said State Farm does not use junk parts only OEM stuff. Another plus is so far there's no problem with State Farm they been really nice.

My wife keeps trying to get me to buy a new truck but my 05 tundra with 210k on the clock is still doing me fine. I know as soon as I get a new truck/jeep/whatever else I might decide to get it would be the target for a forest rat. Sorry about your luck with the subby.

Back in 84 had a Brand Spankin New Kenworth cab over. Less than 2000 miles on it when a forestrat committed suicide in front of it. In 05 had a new 05 Freightliner. Nudder forestrat boogered it up. And that's JUST two of the sumbitches I've taken out with very expensive semis Over the years. I believe my forestrat semi count is 10 or 11. Sorry bout yer new truck. Did the worthless scum bag have insurance?  Roll Eyes Always resented the safety managers askin me could I have avoided the incident. Told em every cursed time had I been ABLE to avoid the "incident" we would NOT be talkin now!  uglystupid2 RIDE SAFE.

Them semis aren't cheap an I believe if you  would of been in a company trk an put her in the ditch an messed that trk up you'd a been done driving.   I managed to get stopped before that grain trailer came flingin out in front of me an i called 911 on the sob. The first car last year the idiot had Insu. and I went through my own Insu (progressive) for replacement and had a friggin battle on my hands, was nervous to because the d ass Calif. Cops did not make out a report, Calif law I was told. I guess for the record I killed 4 an 4 managed to get away including one with the bike and no damage to the bike.

My wife still drives her '99 Camry, it has just about 290k on the dial and she loves it. I can't talk her into a new car. Interior s still in great shape, I love the sunroof. The exterior is showing signs of age but still shines up nice after a good wax. Hard to believe it was about $17k back then. It's been a good little car.

Naw Art, hell I could get killed on a shwinn too. I was racing on a street close to 30 once an a guy passed me and made a right turn in front of me and that left me sliding sideways in front of a car and the woman got her car stopped without running me over. Maybe need to go to a stationary bike.
