So the other night I was coming home from a good night out with an awesome girl, and I had a little accident. A calf had gotten out of a pasture next to the highway, and I hit it. It was a black one, so I had not time to react. I was going about 65 when I hit it. Needless to say my car was pretty messed up. We took it in a day later to have a body mechanic take a look and assess the damage. He said that he would be surprised if it wasn't totaled. So now I have to say goodbye to an old friend that's been through a lot with me.

Here's some pictures:

Yeah, it pretty much sucked, but I am already starting to look for a new car. I'm thinking either a Trans Am, or a Mustang GT. Not sure yet.
And yes, the Dairy Queen was pretty awesome. lol

Ouch! Glad you are OK! We have that problem with deer around here, I have to drive slow in some places at night, and I'm glad I do, even going 35 mph and a deer coming out in front of you can be quite scary.

Yeah, i was pretty lucky to not get hurt. It happened south of Schuyler. It's a small town thats about 15 miles east of Columbus, Nebraska. I have full coverage, so I'm ok in that department too. I just about cry every time i see it, because I think of all the hard work I put into it, and all the lights.

x2. I might be a little biased. icon_lol.gif
I'm on my second Mustang and I've never regreted buying either one.

At least you didn't hit a Moose or something like that. I can't see the pictures right now to see how bad it is but it doesn't sound good.

Well now i think i've decided to get an suv or a truck. Yes I know that gas is going to be a killer, but i could really use the extra room. The mustang is just too expensive of a car for me right now.

I've decided to get a 2003 charcoal gray tahoe. I love the room, and the power it has. Now comes the fun of putting all my lights and other accessories in.
