R.I.P. Jetta GLX VR6 "Lindsey"

God i loved that car, hours under the hood, major sacrifices for zoom zoom, car washes at 40 degrees plus wind, the friends i made in the dub community and many friends who begged to drive it (one even offered to pay)
Coming into a corner at night on 11/24 deer jumped across the road and i jerked the wheel, back end slid out and i tried to hold the slide as it drifted into the other lane came close to the guard rail and turned the wheel the other way, back end reversed direction and car went backwards into a ditch striking a tree. Actually had the torque to pull itself out of the ditch and on to the road but upon looking at the damage the insurance rep discovered a crack in the bottom of the frame 15" long and the car was declared a loss.
I'm getting a V-dub again for sure though.
