Bear - 1 Saab - 0

I hate to say it, but although it's still drivable, my beloved 85 900 turbo lost a fight with a 600 lbs black bear last night.
Oddly enough, it was on the way home from Star Wars, which I had a hell of a time getting tickets for. At 1 AM doing about 90km/h this monster jumped out of the ditch. It wasn't enough to spin me out of control, but his head left quite an impression on my poor saab. Bumper, gone. Lights, gone. Grill, hangin' in there. My hood is jammed into the passenger door so I can't open it unless I pop the hood first. But it still drives perfect.
I think, instead of spending the $2K + new lights on fixin' her up I'll just buy that SPG I always wanted.
The funny thing is that the bear was fine. I turned around up the road as I was going to go to the police to report a dead bear, but it was still standing on the side of the road it came from, like it was going back to it's roadkill supper. Talk about a tough animal.
Oh well.
Anyone have a bear-collision repair kit they can sell me?
Theres my story.
I ain't outta the Saab continuum yet.
