Default Oops! Oh Deer! RIP 97 #236 :(

I came across a few deer calmly crossing a two-lane road the other night, and I thought I could simply drive around them .... NOT!

I just HAVE to say this one more time ... it's been one hell of a year!

Ed, im glad that you werent hurt. That crash looks pretty terrible. With that bar in, your head wouldve got tore up. I had an incident with a curb in a car with a bar and i hit my head pretty hard.

Hate to see the car go, but as long as you are ok that what matters. Cars can always be replaced.

Stunna: Sayin Stay safe in 04

Thanks GUYS!
I really DO appreciate the kind words and good wishes.
Something like this sure puts a "fresh" perspective on life and things you value in it.

RJ ... I don't plan on buying another ITR for quite a while, since I still have 2 unfinished 1st gen CRX Si's.

Ben -- I'll get that CD out to you in another few days ...

Ohh Geez, sorry Ed. At least you're OK though, and at least you got another R in reserve. I remember clearly when I zigged when I shoulda zagged (all pun's intended to keep it light hearted) when I totalled my PY after glancing a deer almost 2 years ago.

So sorry.

See you soon again though.

Best of better luck in 2004.

Well Edward, you certainly have some insane possibilities for the little black bucket now.

I'm glad to hear you are alright, and thanks again for sharing her.

Good luck in the new year.

Sooo glad to see you are ok. Too bad about the car, but it couldn't be prevented.

Good thing you got 2 97's, so you won't be suffering from withdrawals

I'm at a loss for words.



So happy you only have a soar back and nothing else.

I guess I was one of the privileged few who got a ride, But I was hoping to actually drive it one day...

Just goes to show that you never know what "life" has in store for you, and you really do need to take advantage of opportunities when the arise to the fullest.
Hmmmm ....
