And I wonder why insurance rates on these cars are high! That idiot needed to learn how to drive before he picked up that car.

It never made it off the car carrier ... the paint color gives it away.

You are right. You can see the bracing imprints from the carrier and the plastic is still on all the seats.

From the outside of the tires, it looks like the driver missed the "planks" when he was trying to pull it off the carrier, and it slipped right into the side of the carrier.

Been there, seen it but sonova it makes me mad.

I am so sure the hauler driver cares so much about the cars he carries. I would have loved it and fed it and gave it a nice home.

Was this the car allegedly used for Side Impact Testing? I never quite bought that only because of the fact that the windows had the MSRP and other shipping related stickers on it.

I just hope it was for stock and not somebody's order. Having to go through life knowing your first '05 was stillborn is something I wouldn't wish on anybody.

I bet he is out of a job now, or at least I hope he is not delivering my car.

Also noticed all the other cars in the background still have window stickers on them and I see a ranger where the front end is smashed in.

No, they don't side impact test a car with window stickers.

Im sure Ford crashed tons of them for testing. NHTSA DOES in fact buy cars directly off lots for crash rating testing. Not nearly enough damage for a test though

Absoletely NOT.

If it was a crash test car it would be covered with little cross markings for camera alighnment.

We covered this weeks ago. Someone from a salvage yard posted the photos and said that this car came, the result of a yard accident. The driver claimed the throttle stuck.

So now you now how the yard jockies treat your new Mustang GTs.
