I'm suddenly getting this mental image of a Gary Larson/"The Far Side"-style cartoon, where there's a group of deer out in a clearing in the woods somewhere, all discussing a map, where they plan on how and where to ambush Snay's vehicle.
"...And after Larry sets his trap down on Paper Mill Road, then we'll have Bob and Joe launch their pincer down on the..."

...Lieutenant Andrew said, finishing his bag of pistacchio nuts with smug gusto next to the chalk outlined automobile, just after the forensics puke had said "Chief, you better take a look at this!" and just before his superior officer punched him out cold for deadpanning at a crime scene, otherwise punishable by ten lashes under the Criminal Investigator Stereotype Act.

"Meanwhile in Pittsburg, the US branch of NERV began building the prototype of a new generation of EVA units: They would be all small, equivalent to Halfling sized versions of EVA's with Pink Hair, loud mouths and propensity to burp. They will be armed with the latest in ornate daggers, silver flutes (useful for blunt weapons since they hopefuuly wont bent) and round shields made from same steel used to make tuperwear from..."
that is, of course if i read this thread correctly. If i HAD NOT, then chalk it up to my usual actions of driving topic buses into oncoming traffic and carry on...

Well, I spoke to the bodyshop today. Their estimate is $4200. Given the age of my car -- plus the mileage -- it seems unlikely that it won't be totalled.
Possible replacement vehicles:
VM Golf Jeep Compass Honda Civic/Fit Ford Focus Scion tC/tD Toyota Corolla M1A Bradley Fighting Vehicle

The M1 is an Abrams tank, comes standard with a 120 mm smooth bore gun and a flex fuel turbine, while the M2/M3 series of fighting vehicles, aka Bradleys, comes standard with a 25 MM gun and dual TOW missiles.
Your mileage will vary.

The new Focus is pretty nice, I got the chance to drive one recently. The "ambient" lighting is kind of neat, and the high end models are actually pretty peppy. But I say go for the Bradley, if only to help with rush hour traffic.

Wait a minute? We're talking about cars?
can I get a recap so I know what's going on at glance (assuming hitting the Linked 1, 2 & 3 pages are cancer causing substances now)
i realllllllly thought this thread was a bizarro word-play, with Tanks.
I drive a Cobolt, which me lurvs. I also drove a G-5 which i also liked. I previously owned a '95 Escort but never liked the Focus bcause of the design of the rear window when viewed from the rear view window, that tear drop shape kills so much perseption and distance factoring...

Well it started out with hitting deer with cars, then seemed to move on to solely cars.
