    The biggest thing was a brand new '62 Ford, hit it dead center between the front & back doors, with my '54 Ford....after the 14 year old girl driving the '62 ran a stop sign...Yup totaled both of them....

    Bought a brand new 69 Ford Fairlane with money saved while in Vietnam, I was stationed at what was then the Navy Ammunition Depot near McAlester, Ok. Had been out fishing after duty and caught a 6 1/2 lb.Largemouth, got all excited and took off across the base to weigh it. Topped a hill doing around 80 and hit two deer running across the road. So two deer and a 6 1/2 lb bass all in about 10 minutes...good day hunting/fishing but not so good on the Fairlane (hood, grill, both front fenders, headlights etc)

    Going to school one morning with my friend in a 58 Ford about 59 or 60. It was foggy and he hit a full size hog at about 55-60, Drove the motor into the firewall -we got a few lumps and cuts but were ok-car not so much

    Late 60's Chevy station wagon with my 48 when the dude's wife pointed across his face to a cafe that was open while they were in the right lane and I was in the left passing them and probably in his blind spot, He caught my right front fender and tire and bent my axle back at 90 degrees. His car had a bent wheel and probably a bent spindle and he was in a hell of a hurry to get out of there after the cop talked to him and didn't give any insurance info. A check said that the address he gave didn't exist. I had the truck towed to the shop where I worked and my buddy and I fixed it over the next week or so.

    Biggest thing I ever hit was another car that turned left in front of me when I was driving my '55 Chev gasser. I was slowing for a light, when suddenly he appeared in front of me. Hit the brakes hard, but slammed into him pretty solid. He and I pulled into a parking lot, and he kept saying he was so sorry. I was pissed, but when I looked at my frontend all I saw was a couple small dings in my bumper! It wasn't a perfect bumper anyway, so I told him I was OK and he could take care of his own damage, or not. I could have cared less.
