Slid it back the other way, straightened it out and headed for that turn lane to pull into the wash. Got a little squirley again and then got full control and whipped it into the car wash. The whole time praying there weren't any cops around. 
And the traction control was on!

Dave and I were in the median waiting for traffic to give us a spot to flip a biotch. Jason had an opening and nailed it and got a little squirrely I looked at Dave and just went (like the guy in the Full Throttle commercial), "WOO HOO!!!". And yes I wish I'd had the camera going Jason lettin' his man out

The hood was scratched to the metal.
Windshield is livable with just a bad scuff mark.
Good news is the STANG is allready getting painted as we speak.

Hey guys,
It was a pleasure, and like I said in the other thread, I am REALLY sorry I didn't get to spend more time with everyone. The kids being with us really threw a wrench in our plans, and so we were really trying to do too many things at once...
On the damage front, I survived Barber without a scratch, just to rub the paint down to bare plastic on the back bumper with the daughter's cart over 700 miles home. Needless to say, it has given me an excuse to shop for back bumpers now, and maybe get a good source on them for everyone else.
I really had a lot of fun, even with the heat and kids, and just wish we had more time to spend with everyone. I ran around like a madman Sunday morning trying to catch people, but didn't have too much luck.
MTAS - you got the card because I saw the car in the lot - I had extra tickets to the dinner Saturday night, but never got the chance to find you to see if you wanted to go. Like I said, it was all a blur...
Oh, and to add insult to injury, somewhere in AL on I-20, ALL of our shirts and hats we had left ended up on the road... underneath the tires of the trailer no less. We salvaged two at the next truck stop, but that was a bummer, as we had about 20 in there still with our #93 car...
Oh well, could've been worse!

The grumble of it is, I just raised my deductible a few weeks ago when we got the second mustang. 
It's just a line(that's growing), but its bugging me nuts.
Oh well, it was worth it for the fun!

OK Folks any thoughts on ghost lemans stripes, and any ideas who makes these locking hood pins, I think they would be a much better hood pin than the ones with the cables hanging down, any thoughts there???

And yes, I like the ghost stripes. I thought about them when I was going to stripe my car.
PS- how was the waterpark?
Also, this is the before I got the cables situated pic.
