this stinks really bad!! I was drivin down the road today and i was snowing wicked bad too. i went to get in the turming lane when the guy in front of me (a late 80's honda civic) got cut off by someone so he slammed on his brakes and i slid right in to him. now i have to deal with getting it fixed before anything else can happen to it. so for the most part today has been a VERY crappy day for me

 

Ouch.

How bad is it?

 

well........ both my headlights are pointed downward, my grille is in a few pieces, my hood wont shut but it didnt get hurt, and i had to pick my mustang up off the ground. for the most part is stinks but on th bright side my fenders are undamaged and my hood is fine. i think im gonna need a new bumper and headlight mounts.

 

wow..that stinks.. well u could take advantage of the situation and get a cool front bumper.

 

Travis- sorry to hear about the accident. hope the fix is fast and unpainful

 

Sorry about the accident man. Have you ever been in one before? The first time is the hardest.

Had my first last summer when I had my Focus. Idiot tried to make a left turn on a dime. I hit his right rear with my left front. Ripped the entire left side of the car off from the bumper to the driver door. Spun me off into a ditch and I had to crawl out my back window. My car needed 10,000 dollars in repairs because the morons at the insurance company wouldn't total it. Course I laughed when I traded it in for the Mustang and the dealer gave me 2000 over high Blue Book because "the car looks like new".

The first week is the toughest. Oh-and watch out-your insurance company WILL try to find you at fault because you were the one who hit the other guy even though it was his fault. They did to me-shafted me with my deductible, found me at fault, and then had the nerve to total the other (unlicensed) drivers junker and write him a check for 2000 because it needed 2000 in repairs but was an old POS hardly worth anything.

Accidents stink, insurance companies stink worse.

 

Sorry to hear 'bout your mis-hap...
Hang in there, she'll be good as new before you know it!

 

im probaly goin to hawaii in 3 weeks any ways to work. it pay pretty good out there, and when i get back i think i'll have enough saved to fix the front end, get a body kit and repaint the car. im not sure yet though and i want to cry every time i look at my car!

 

Sorry to hear about you're accident but just be thankful it wasn't worse! You're okay and the car is fixable thats what matters!

 

wow man im sorry and like said by the others atleast your alrite that all that matters!

 

sorry to hear that man..i know how you feel, i totaled my 90gt out in snow/wet weather 2 weeks after i got it (and my license)

 

sorry to hear that man. im glad you're ok though


its one of the saddest things in the world when i dude/dudette's ride gets messed up. man. i dont even got a car and i have trouble imagining what it would be like. again, glad you're ok, thats what matters most

 

[attachmentid=17695]I feel your pain. It's a shame when a mustang gets hurt. Is yours fixable?

 

I hit a curb with my 87 because some slackers from Penn Dot (no offense to anyone who works for them) didn't clean up road stones at a construction site and I lost control. It felt like skating on ice and was $3300 damage Luckily the cop blamed it on penn dot and didn't write a reckless driving ticket (cause I wasn't) but my insurance still went up.

 

I got reaer ended olast year..it stinked, Some guy on his sell phone not paying attention hit me while I was stopped! no biggie though..new bumper and I was ok, I was impreseed with the small amount of damage though, it was a pretty rough impact.

 

i think it'll be under $500 but thats money i don't have since i only had liability

 

Did he get in trouble for being on his cell? I know a lot of police officers are cracking down on that in PA even though its not a law yet. If you're in an accident on your cell they'll automatically start looking at you first, which I think is good!

 

Wow man sorry to hear about the ride, I just got my pony like a week ago and i dont know what i would do if it even got scratched! i hate seeing stangs get injured, it is one of the saddest things i can think of Anyway, hope you are back on the road soon!

 

Well mine just got injured yesterday. Some idiot at our apartment complex painting lines must have bumped my car cause theres a small ding thats in the rear quarter panel that wasn't there in at 2:30 when my wife got home from work (she then picked me up from work early at 3 and the lines were painted and the ding was there) .

I had to fill out a police report and everything. The complex head of maintenance called me today and assured me that he didn't do it which is BS because there was no one else there to do it and we live with all old people. They damaged my old Mustang too when they plowed during the winter.

Luckily my insurance agent is great and she said she is going send them the bill anyway once I get an estimate.

Its a very small ding, more like a small crease so hopefully they'll be able to do paintless dent repair on it. I take it in tomorrow morning. Man is the complex gonna flip when they get that bill

If they keep this up my wife and I are going to look into a breach of contract and move out. The maintenance people never repair anything and they damage property.

 

I feel your pain man...at least you can get it fixed and your alright!
