Default The death of my old mustang

I traded this car for a flats boat about 6 or so months ago. Dude sells it and new dude crashes it in less than 24 hours. 180ed it, and caught a tree at 80 or so. Looks wet to me. I do not know if dude is ok, but I think the email with these pics would have had more info or not come if he went splat. A couple of before shots and then wham, why you dont drive quick cars in the rain. I guess nobody is gonna beat my 12.2 1/4 in this whip ever.

Damn dude. I feel you.
I creamed a womans car this past Sun. Her car looked like that. It was totaled. My truck just went in the body shop today, barely 3 days later. I love my insurance. They said bring it in and they will handle getting paid by the other insurance company.

Looking at my truck it doesnt look so bad. But you figure I was doing 45 - 50 mph and barely had time to hit the brakes,.. I doubt I slowed down to 40mph when I hit. I just closed my eyes and braced for impact. I was expecting the air bags to deploy and all I kept thinking was how this is going to hurt. Her car looked as bad as your old Mustang. Toyota Camry,.. I hit the rear end so hard the back window exploded and crunched the rear tire almost into the back seat and it buckled the back door. My air bags didnt even deploy.

80mph on a wet road in a Mustang? What was he thinking? I had a close call when I was younger and missed hitting a pole in the median. Put the fear of God in me. I learned my lesson. Even now in my truck I slow down when its raining out.

Almost as sad as Jeff's(stangonline) car he sold. What a waste.

I sold a car that ran 11's but they never drove it till I was paid.

I know right?

I had to pass up a $200 tow yesterday and to top it off,.. I finished gutting the engine bay to my car today. Its ready to see Bryan and I have no way to get it there. They said it would be 8 - 10 days before my truck is fixed. $3804.31 is what the estimate came up to.

I'm probably going to rent one of those Home Depot trucks to pull my car trailer so I can get my car there. They say $19.95 a day. See how true that is.

Ruler, do you work on MacDill? I often saw an SN95 damn near identical to that one in front of the NOAA hangar. I always saw it in the evening so I don't recall if it was the same shade of red.
