    Unhappy Close encounter of the DEER kind

    Not the best drive to work. Yes I am fine, but the deer is burger material. The drive from Maryland back to Virginia yesterday was not the best. The vehicle heads off the to body shop this morning for a repair estimate.

    The bad part is because of the age of my Trailblazer and the mileage being over 100,00 the insurance company may total the vehicle. My father bought this Trailblazer about 8 months before he passed. Because my mother doesn't drive, she gave it to me. It has been a great vehicle over the years. I know that if the insurance company makes the decision to total the car, I am going to face a tough decision. I could buy it back with a salvage title and fix it myself, or just let it go.

    What a bummer way to end any day. Sounds like the hardest of it is the emotional attachment .

    My brother bought back a car that was totaled due to a back seat fire fixed it himself and my neice drove it for several years before the motor gave up then they junked the junk. I don't think she threw a hot cigarette butt out the window ever again.
