I was fine. One and a half turns over the passenger side, stopped on the roof. I killed the engine, unbuckled my seatbelt, and crawled out. Just got home.

I was taking a dirt road home due to the wonderful weather and my good mood about leaving work early. I came around a corner to find a deer standing in the middle of the road staring at me. I hit my brakes, rear tires locked, and I let off the brake pedal cause that's what I'm used to doing (no ABS). When I let go, Jeep went in the now-forward direction, into a 2ft wall of dirt. Left front tire went up the berm, Jeep went upward, came down hard and did a full roll, then back onto the roof.
Called 911, then my supervisor, then my insurance company. It's so totaled, they're just wasting my time taking it to a body shop. Gonna get a rental tomorrow til I find out how much compensation I get.
Keep an eye out for nice, cheap XJs. I don't know what options I want yet.

I walked away from it fine, but my back and neck are starting to hurt pretty bad. I'm probably gonna go to the hospital on Ft Detrick tomorrow to get checked out.

I went from the newest XJ on the Forum to the slowest. Couldn't even push the poor girl. Bent at least two of my wheels all to hell, crushed the front end, broke the windshield and pass front door glass, both mirrors, buckled the roof cause of the spare, crushed front bumper, both front fenders, rear quarters, ****ed up at least one of my leaf packs, and leaked gas all over the inside and outside.

Time to crack a beer and play Xbox. Tomorrow is my first day off in two weeks...
