*fixt*

The spare is on the rear because the rear rim was as bad as the front one and it needed to be towed.

Once the roof's bent like that, it's usually a total loss. Better cross your fingers.

I stripped everything off the car before taking the pictures and I left the strut tower brace and the fenderwell air intake because they were both bent of broken. Sorry.

If that isn't totaled I'd question the sanity of your insurance company.

Oh my gosh! How crazy is that? I mean damn that's most crazy accident story I have ever heard. If you didn't show the pictures I would have never believed it! I am sorry about your car, but they are somewhat replaceable.

I realized later that the bear popped my hood and the hood slammed into my windshield because of the bear's weight... because it continued right over my hood onto my roof. If my hood didn't do what it did maybe there would be bear through my windshield? That's a scary thought lol, it was pretty large.

Man I'm glad it was dead because the very last thought on my mind was the bear as I got out.

Dayuuum.....I am glad you are OK too man. Yeah, the only thing that would have made it worse would have been a p*ssed off half-dead bear clawing at you....
