I agree with Chris Rock and his take on insurance. He says they should change it from "insurance" to "in case sh|t happens". And at the end of the year, if "sh|t" doesnt happen, you should get all of your money back and start over again.

Insurrance... *pffft*

a) i cant believe you paid 6700 for that car

b) the car can be fixed for around 300 bucks worth o parts... wouldnt be worth my time though

c) your insurance should cover the repair... or total it and give you the cash

you never cease to be such an asshole. maybe he paid 6700 a little while ago, and the car was newer. 300 dollars worth of parts? please tell me where you will get the headlights, grill, hood, radiator, and some other random small stuff. 300 dollars?! pfft. you are an idiot (not that everyone didnt know that already). id also like to see you fix the airbags in that 300 dollar total. you couldnt even do ONLY the airbags for 300! go troll somewhere else you lamer.

sorry plastick. dont listen to plunger butt here, and i hope it works out for you.

>>>>
Yeah, I payed 6700 for my car about 5 1/2 yeas ago.. Never had any problems, no damage, and no deers!!
Just payed it off about 3 months ago.

6700 6 years ago isnt bad, im sure you got your moneys worth alredy. Either way though, if the insurance wont give you more money, try to buy it back from the insurance company. I know a lot of people that got good really good prices on those (to either fix up or part out)

Also you can pick up a WHOLE rear-ended or similar escort like that for about 500 bucks that will have everything you need. A car that is worth 1600 as a whole wont have couple minor parts costing anywhere near its blue book value.

As for airbags buddy, i got a set including the steering wheel for my audi a4 for about 250 shipped and seen em as low as 190... so next time you decide to talk outta your ass, you might wanna pull your head out first...

thats so eatable. And im not even being sarcastic.
My grandpa , told me bout how one tim cam home from rabbit hunting empty handed, on the way they hit a rabbit. One rabbit made the game bag. Nothing wrong less you see can see it is diseased or something. Atleast should have quartterd it and taken it to a game meat orginization.

Yeah, because everyone drives around with a bag full of butcher's tools in their car for just such an occasion.

Some people could really give a fvck less about taking the stupid deer home and cutting it up to eat. Most people are just glad they're alive and not in worse shape after hitting the damn things.

And...nobody gave a sh!t about the deer, or the fact this juvenile was almost exhuberant about killing it, except he was a bit remorseful, of the damage to his car. That's just great folks.

This world is getting to be a f*cked up place.... then we wonder why. :(

I live in upstate NY right by the Canadain border.

On my way home from university one night I stopped for a pair of deer in the middle of the road (a complete stop). After waiting 6 minutes and them not going anywhere, I honked my horn. Big, big mistake. The two in front of me took off into the woods, and one that was in the woods took off running, ran head first into my car, snapped his neck, killed himself, doing nothing more to my still car then bending the DOHC ornament on the side of it.

I called the police to report it, a trooper showed up, young girl who just transfered up from Buffalo, she couldn't have been much older then me (I was 20 at the time). First thing I said when she asked me if I was alright was "Can I get a tag for this? I can my truck and be back here in under ten minutes". The look on her face was priceless as she tried to rationalize why I wanted this big dead animal, she just couldn't comprehend.

I totally agree. Deer were here much longer before we were, but somehow people take glee in fvcking with them. I've got zero problems with hunters or anything like that, but why was it funny to see the deer suffer?

Don't know about you, but I sure could go for some tenderloin right now. There a guy here that will cut up a whole deer for $40, makes bundles after hunting season.

Sweet deal! I will tell them.

I don't understand. You have no problems with hunters, who, by the way, have a HUGE advantage on the deer. Hunters just sit in a deer blind looking like 30+ yards away at a deer feeder throwing corn on the ground, waiting for a deer to come so they can kill it. You are OK with that... but when it comes to hitting a deer, which means getting close to the deer, it has a chance to get away(a deer would have heard your car from several hundred yards away) but it is either just too scared to move or blinded at last minute.

Besides, it was just a doe. There are like 30 doe for every 1 buck, not a big deal.

They didnt give me anything yet. Teh ford dude still has to appraise it and then tell the inscrewence company what he thinks my car is worth. But I am sure I will get screwed there too.
It sucks not having my car :(

Because we are the evolutionary winnar and deer have effectively become a dangerous problem on roads.
I think you have to be sick to think its funny to watch a living thing suffer to death, but I don't give a crap about a freakin deer. It CERTAINLY wouldn't care if it attacked me and critically injured me.

Is that a reference to that bunny pancake thing that was all the rage here a few months ago?
