It is a good thing the ship staff alerted MDOT that his ship lost propulsion prior to hitting the bridge . MDOT then alerted teams to close off the Key bridge so no more cars could drive over the bridge. Lives were saved because of the ship's action.

(Preliminary reports) indicate that the ship's Mayday call was helpful, in averting additional casualties. The comprehensive investigation of this disaster, will take a long time.

I hit 6000 not too long ago. But mine's a 2024 GMC Terrain.

I happened to glance down at mine on Tuesday as it turned 44,000. I have a 2019 Jetta R-line. Love that car. Not as much as my Cadillac but my wallet loves the hell out of it. I'm retired and have owned it through all of Covid and the lock down, and made only one significant trip to Vermont (2000) miles total last September. I have to wonder when I was able to put that many miles on it. Still have 2 years left on the warrantee.

I would have kept my old car, had a deer not run out in front of me.

I actually saw my old car outside the collision center with a for sale sign today. I sold it to them and got a decent chunk of money out of it. They were going to fix it up and resell it.

Almost a win - win?
A happy ending of sorts?

For the situation, it went down almost perfectly. By the time I got the insurance money and the money I sold it to the collision center for, I got about what it was worth before the accident. I did really like my old car, though. I like my new one, too. The downfall is I have a car payment again.

I have found, in my tediously long life (so far), that eventually unless you are born rich the likelihood of lifetime car payments is something we just learned to accept. My Deville was the only car that I had paid off and was gloriously without any car payments for about 6 years, but it was replaced with $10K worth of repair bills. Sometimes you just can't win. Sounds like you got a happy set of coincidences with your deer problem though. I've often wrestled with the thoughts of getting a new one more often and pretty much riding out the warrantees then switching or just taking a chance.

My first "new" car was a 1970 Buick Skylark that I bought upon my return from Vietnam. Sort of an I earned it gift to myself. Back then to get any car to last over 100K in mileage was something special. I got it to 140K before it started to lose its dependability. In those early years of married adulting things were tight so the debt ended up being rolled over into other projects. I was technically still paying for it after all those years. I had it when I met and married my wife, brought home both my children in it and then, since we lived in a more rural area felt the need to trade it for a newer "used" Buick Skylark. That one wasn't nearly as good. The old one still ran fairly well but the winters and salty roads were taking it's toll. Cars are so much better now and the bodies are sealed against the bulk of the winter damage. These days anyone whose car isn't still like new at 150K isn't really trying or were attacked by trees or a deer.

I was probably going to keep mine for at least a couple more years, but it's nice to have a car with AWD for the winters now. That was the one thing I wanted on a new car, since I commute every day. Heated seats and a heated steering wheel are also a huge plus.
