Default A long way down

It was a long road to where I am now. 3 deer, ex girlfriend’s crack addict Freind, and an angry lady at a pizza place but now my formally mint condition xj8 is looking like a 19 yr old buy here pay here special. It might be totaled anyway since the pizza place lady was classified as criminal mischief. The headliner now sags, radiator leaks from the final deer impact, the amazing lines now interrupted, And hood stuck open. Anyway here are some recent pictures and some old ones.



Forgot to mention the center console screws became stripped and fell off

I’m not sure yet, I plan on fixing it but I have to wait for insurance to make up their mind. If they total it out I’ll probably go for a xjr6 or xk8. Apparently cost to fix the damage on both doors is gonna be 3,200$
