Oh she is definitely totaled lmao.
Front Damage and damage to the doors as well and the airbags came out lol.
2017 toyota rav 4 and it was already paid off the last 8 months. Just my luck. I need to find me a rich sugar daddy for christmas haha. Good news is that my insurance should be renting me a car before Christmas for a month so yay.
But thank you. Whiskey and Hot chocolate are helping.
A colleague did that a few weeks back. His VW Tigan was les than a couple of months old. Repair bill (through insurance) came to £18,000.
At least you are all in one piece. I doubt the deer is!
Nope. Bambi most definitely was not in one piece lmao. This happened on the highway. He jumped across four lanes lol
Well hopefully you got a meal or two out of the incident!
Good luck with the insurance etc.
Thanks
Ending the new year with a new MBP and starting the new year with a new car.
I guess it's time to do some research lol
Ouch.
Sympathies.
I hope that you are fine and that Bambi felt the impact of the collision.
The very best of luck with both.Thanks

Wince.
Friends of mine have had cars totalled in similar accidents.
Not a pleasant experience.
Does make getting to work difficult lol. Uber there and back is expensive haha. I am going to start a GoFund me jk!
but yeah i am doing fine enough. Lots of whiskey.
Back from a flying dash to the city to pick up free range, organic, eggs (the very last day of the German organic vegetable stall) and collect my French bread (and place - and pay for - my bread order for next week).

More than good.
Especially in such circumstances.
As we live in the country it’s often on my mind when out driving early. Especially this time of year when it’s dark.
Here it’s a cold but sunny day. Made for a nice pleasant walk this morning.
Apart from putting a picture up for Mrs AFB in her craft room and a session on the cross trainer, no other plans.
Well, a cow (yes, a cow, it had somehow leapt over a wall from the field where it had been kept onto a country road that I suspect may have been beneath the wall) - on a dark wintry night - leapt onto and totalled the car (an antique Ford Fiesta) of a friend of mine who was then a postgrad; she was lucky to survive (and lived to complete her Ph.D in science).
I shall enjoy my bread; enjoy yours.
The German stall won't be back until mid March (at the earliest), but they told me that one of the other organic stalls will have their eggs to sell next week.
Actually, the French bakery was stressed (all those Christmas orders), very stressed, and tendering dockets for orders placed for next week.
They informed me that they will be open for a few days between Christmas and the New Year, - roughly three, perhaps four, and then, will be shut entirely for the first week of January.

I was so happy not happy having a car payment lol. It's rough haha
Considering I dont have an active Car of my own it is a Jameson and Woodford Reserve weekend lol
I'll be drunk posting on MR! Jk haha
Enjoy.
On my mind, is the (completely unexpected but wholly welcome) delivery of a coffee (and, of equal importance, filter papers), order I had placed as recently as Thursday night (that is, two days ago).
Excellent.
I am amply supplied with coffee and filter papers until well into January, if not a little later.
On my mind, I actually pulled myself away from my electronics and went car shopping. Definitely a lot of choices to think about.
Saw a beautiful 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee i liked for about $24,000
I test drove a 2020 Kia Telluride and it has about 70K miles asking for $27k but i honestly dislike Kia's with a passion and the vehicle felt boxy.
I did also test drive a 2021 toyota highlander which i liked and toyota has done me well withmy Rav4 but Idk. I kind of want to try something new.

So long as you are unhurt.
The equivalent problem in Aus. is large kangaroos. People tend to hit them at 100kph+, and these large, muscle-bound beasties tend to total any vehicle smaller than a prime mover. And, chances are, when you do hit one, you are miles from anywhere and generally out of mobile phone range, so you just have to wait for some other driver to come by.
It's also hard on the roos.
The drive that houses ALL of my old (and some recent) files is finally showing signs of failure. I've had it for almost five years, so it was probably gonna die soon anyway. I've started to immediately copy everything (around 2 TB of data) to a different drive before anything catastrophic happens!

You have all the data on more than one drive though right? At least three would be my recommendation.
SOME of the data is also on another 1 TB drive, but not everything. I should probably get a third 3 TB drive to make a second backup.
