Quote from Emilee....
My car, as you can see, is obviously totaled. We are now on a quest for an identical version somewhere in the USA so i do not have to wait for another.


Emilee...this came from another Stang member,Rich from Concord, NC, just happened up on it, thought I'd pass this on to you...this dealership is in Concord, NC. Hope this helps, and I hope you are recovering nicely. Take care.....Carol

He writes: Was on my way to get gas this morning and noticed that Morrison Motor Company, a local specialty vehicle dealer, had an 05 yellow GT coupe on their lot. Hoping to help out someone who might be looking for one. Website says they also have a redfire convertible. Here's a link:

OH MY GOD. I thought I had it bad when soccer mom hit my door at 5 mph with her mini van. Took six weeks to get a new door shell because they hadn't made extra doors yet. I almost cried. Well, I hope the best for you!!!

From: DMV
Wow, I guess your a testiment to the structural integrity of the new Stang if you could walk away, albeit painfully, from a 50mph rear-ender by an F350.

What IS it about oafs in trucks and getting rear ended anyway?

My Probe GT got clocked in the **** by some oaf in a Dodge truck one evening about a year or two ago. He drove off (hit and run) but my Probe survived quite well after repairs (tough Flat Rock, MI cars).

Then a year ago, my girlfriends beloved Saab 9000 got totalled by another oaf in a truck who hit the truck behind it, driving that truck into her car and her car into yet another truck. Her mother was driving and walked away (Saabs are build pretty tough too), but the insurance totalled her car (a mint '92). And once again, that oaf sped off (hit and run).

Is there something about pickups that cause people to go stupid or what?

Anyway, glad you're pretty much OK. You can always get a new Stang.

PS With your bright yellow Stang, how could you be any MORE visible :bang:

He was probably a hard core hunter with twelve rifles hanging from his 8' X 4' rear window and thought your yellow car was a target that must be engaged at all costs.

thanks again guys. Yeah, cops were saying to me in the ER "well, he can't use the excuse that he didn't see ya, because your car is about as visable as they come!"

My dealer ordered me a new pony on 4/18 the day after the wreck. They apparently showed Ford & the region rep pics of the crash and are optimistic that the new one will get built quickly so i can be back in the saddle with a shorter wait this time! i sure hope so!

I was thinking that ford corporate would be interested in seeing those pics, from a research stand point.

Good luck on your new ride, hope the wait for it is short!

I was rear ended today in boise by a HUGE F350 pickup going about 50 mph. I was stopped at the light, only one at the stop light in my lane, and i was pushed so far into the intersection that i hit a honda in the front and my airbag deployed.

I am on a load of drugs right now, i am in pain but still alive! My right arm came down on my shifter i think and i have a giant round swollen bruise on it. my neck & lower back hurt like nothing else, and i'm sure i'll be worse tomorrow.

the jerk in the truck was driving on a suspended license. The truck was not his. However, the truck has insurance on it they think. They would have hauled him off to jail on the spot but he had to get stitches on his chin. He got a ton of citations, including a wreckless driving ticket.

My car, as you can see, is obviously totaled. We are now on a quest for an identical version somewhere in the USA so i do not have to wait for another.

This guy will be paying out his *@&(#*& for this. i am pissed, and i hurt, and my baby is gone :sadno: :sadno:




Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm glad your going to be alright !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there was no one else in the car with me. I had to crawl out my passengers door because my drivers door wouldn't open.

I got a ton of x-rays and cat scans done at the ER, and they say no broken bones, but i am in a lot of pain.

anyway, here they are. Sorry guys, i had to edit this and take some of the pictures out, my data transfer limit on my site just went up about 700% of normal in one day

Things I noticed:

1. Mustang's seem pretty safe.
2. I miss Bigfoot.
