4 years ago, almost to the day..
I received my 88 N/A.. with ~65K on the odometer
Since then it has been an affliction..
Suspension
Clutch
top end rebuild
trans mount
total interior
8 way power seats
this that and the next thing
and last night a deer took her from me!
I managed to walk away with a few minor scratches, but the appraiser just called me to tell me that pending astronomical valuation it is going to be a total loss... THIS is why I pay for comprehensive coverage on all my vehicles...
At least I can now say my door handles are wildlife resistant! as the drivers door is CRUSHED, but still opens as it should... the handle stood up to the test!

that's COMPLETELY fixable. i don't know why insurance companies total cars with so little damage.. sure its going to cost a fair amount to fix the car, but overall your car is straight and APPEARS that most damage is cosmetic. fix the car instead of letting the insurance company take it.

I got some pictures of the gore.. but chose to spare the board. (the hair on the door handle is just a small bit of it!)
The hit was hard enough there is glass embedded in the passenger door card...
