Thumbs down

After nearly three weeks of waiting and waiting, I finally got my car back from the body shop. They did an EXCELLENT job!! It looks brand spankin' new! Took it out late tonight (had to wait for the roads to dry off) for spin and man, it was heaven.
Pics of my 1967 Shelby GT 500 and my 2005 Black Mustang together in one picture coming soon!!

Actually, I was out with a friend last night in his car before I took out the Mustang. We wanted dinner and I decided the roads were still too damp to take her out. Well, at the FIRST traffic light we came to, our light turns green with a left green arrow. We go to make our left and this car from the other side of the intersection comes FLYING through his red light, running a light that had been red for a good five seconds. My friend drives a stubby little Geo, and he just missed T-boning the Geo's frontend. Had I been driving the Mustang, would he have T-boned my longer hood? Probably. I'm still thanking my lucky stars, lol.
Just as long as there aren't any jerk-offs pulling wheelies in front of me and falling off their bike, I'm sure that I'll be fine.

I've been T-boned in a Geo Storm before. Not fun at all, and it was at a slow speed of impact (20 MPH tops). Even so the damage was rather disturbing to the car. Consider yourselves lucky.

If that was the Geo Metro, consider yourselves REALLY blessed to have not been hit at all. That thing is a tin can.

I once drove a Geo Tracker, hit a rabbit. Tracker blew up, rabbit got up, said "dats right!!!" (must've been a rabbit from the hood) and ran off.

Come on, that didn't really happen, did it?

Glad you have got it back on the road again.
