Bad day for my 2018 ZL1 1LE

This happened at the end of October, but waited to post until everything was settled.

Swerved to miss a deer, went over a cattle guard, car got loose, and then I was just along for the ride. Took out about 50 yards of barbed wire fence.

There was damage on every body panel to include the hood, roof, and trunk. Luckily, the airbags didn't go off. Repair estimate was just shy of $36K so I was totaled and I received what I think was a fair settlement with my insurance company. I will still take quite a beating for depreciation and the dreaded sales tax on a new one.

Big shout out to JoeP@TeamBeckyD for helping out with my quest for a replacement! He was very responsive and provided a lot of good information. My local dealer really stood tall with a great deal so I ended up ordering one from them. Replacement will be Crush, but I probably won't see it until spring.

The salvage is at Copart in Tucson. More pictures and info here: https://www.copart.com/lot/55548170/...-zl1-az-tucson
