Totaled my car today
Was driving around a turn when a surprise deer made an appearance. I swerved (mistake #1), broke loose, tried to correct, and hit a grass embankment, and flipped over. Fortunately I was able to walk away from it all.
Will definitely be a total loss. Very sad day for me. I loved that car. Not sure what I'll do next, maybe a C7 is in my future, but I may wait until they price the z/28. Not sure if I want to post a photo or not |

Are you kidding me? I was just about to PM you about a Travi$ Scott track and was lookin' forward to meeting up.
Sorry to hear about what happened man. Vehicles can be replaced but a human being can't. Glad to hear your ok and looking forward to what your next vehicle purchase is. Is anything atleast salvageable? It could always go on your next ZL1?... |

God I feel terrible for you, I can only imagine how you have to feel. Glad you are OK physically, but mentally, I would be a mess.

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone! I'm fine, just a little bruise on my forearm and the inside of my right knee.
Very blessed to be okay. I have a new lease in life |

Be careful when you're swerving to miss stuff people! In all my years as a deputy I've never seen anyone seriously hurt from a car-deer crash. On the other hand, I've seen many seriously injured from accidents like this after someone swerves.
Not knocking anyone or their driving abilities here as I know most times its just a reaction. Sorry to hear about your car. |

Sorry to hear about your accident. The important thing is that you are ok, even though I know how much it must suck to see your pride and joy on its roof..
