I knew I shouldn't have gone to the grocery store after dark during this time of year. On December 1, on my way back from the store, a buck decided to try to jump over my 2016 Subaru Forester as I was driving by at 55 MPH. Poor deer. Poor car. The estimated cost of repair is $6,495.00, less my $500 deductible. Less than 27,000 miles on it. Dang dang dang.
My first Forester was hit when a driver pulled out from a driveway right into my front wheel well. My second Forester was two months old when it suffered extensive hail damage. THEN it was hit under pretty much the same circumstances as the first car - a careless driver pulled out onto the road, right into my vehicle. I traded that car in on a Crosstrek, which miraculously was never involved in any type of "mishap," but that's only because I only had it for two years, when I decided to trade it in on the 2016 Forester.
One of these days I will be able to cash in on that "guaranteed trade-in value." Hasn't happened yet.....
