Blazer Down - Need Advice
Some of you kooks were lucky enough to see the Blazer in all her glory at BBI19.
Well, on this most recent foray up to Colorado I had an unpleasant encounter with a 300lb mule buck at 60mph.
Mule deer 0... Blazer, also 0...

Luckily I was able to rent a car in Farmington NM and continue my trip. But over the weekend my insurance co. got a hold of me and said this is most likely going to be a total loss. On the way home I stopped back in Farmington and cleaned everything out. Was pretty at ease with the whole thing after a therapeutic weekend but now thinking more about this I'm a bit heart broken. Have a lot of memories with this mobile, and to be honest, other than a couple bolt on parts (fender, hood, grille, light assemblies) the damage didn't seem that bad. Bumper is still intact, hell even the radiator didn't look too bad (minor coolant leak is the only reason I had it towed).
Am I crazy for wanting to try and keep this thing? Mechanically speaking there was nothing wrong with it. Tranny rebuilt about a year ago, engine is strong, 4wd and e-locker still work...
It sounds like the gears are turning with the insurance company taking the vehicle from the yard. From there I have no idea where it goes, trying to get more info tomorrow. Then I guess there's also the issue of them possibly totaling it, then not re-insuring it as a salvage. Fuck, I don't know what to do.
