Although I should thank her. We had a 2000 Ford Windstar minivan that she totalled a few months before I was going to trade it in in 2005. We got $7500 for the settlement on it. I thanked her! Those cars were pretty bad as far as resale value went, I probably would have been lucky to get $2000 for trade in on it!
The funny thing is...
3 months after we got a brand new Toyota minivan, she hits a deer!
The joke is, if you want a new car, let Elaine drive it!
She isn't a bad driver, but for a couple of years she had the worst luck. A few months after hitting the deer she was stopped at the bottom of a hill and a runaway car with no driver (the e-brake failed) rolled down the hill, almost hit her as she was getting into the car, and hit our full size van. Luckily, the van is a one ton 3500 and had a big solid real axle. The damage was only $1200 or so.
Chris am guessing the dear had had better days......
