i was in the emergency room while my dad & my friend chris took these pictures. Chris pulled the GT emblem off for me... keepsake i guess.

I got out of the car because there was airbag smoke everywhere and i couldn't breathe, and i was in shock and didn't want something to catch on fire or something. i panicked and tried to get out as fast as i could.

I really don't want to wait for an '06 but i may have to. If anyone knows of a yellow GT, manual with ALL of the goodies at a dealer somewhere let me know. I will have it shipped here.
I live in Pensacola, Fl and they had 2 yellow GT's on their lot last week. I will check the lot saturday for you and let you know. I think they were both verts but not for sure. I am sorry about your accident and glad you alive. Now, I am more scared to drive my GT.

Great to see that you got a new GT, Emilee. Hope that truck driver goes to jail for a long time for what he did to your old Stang.

Yeah, what happened in court? Good lookin' new Stang.

The reason the tires look small is because they have very short sidewalls. A 30 or 40 series tire on an 18" rim will look smaller compared to the same size tire on a 17" rim.

The stock size a 55 on a 17" rim, so if you are truly using a 30 series tire, it is no wonder that it looks small. The smallest I would use is a 40 series, even on a lowered car with 18" rims. Just FYI. Glad to see you back in the saddle!

I lost my 95GT this way too! I was parked at a stop light. it had been raining all day. There wasn't anyone in front of me and the light turned green. I hit the gas, my wheels spun. Next thing I know I'm spinning in the middle of the intersection.

3 black inner city F'ers had stolen a car, ran a red light and hit me going 45MPH in my front driver side just in front of my wheel. If it would have been dry out, I would have been dead because they would have hit me right in the door!

After realizing what happened, I got out, luckily I wasn't hurt. I asked people watchin where the people in the other car went and they took off running.

The thing that pisses me off was that the officer that showed up didn't really seem to give a sh!t about me at all. While I'm on the curb kissing the ground because I'm alive, he was sitting in his car waiting for backup and having a nice little conversation on his radio laughing and having a good 'ole time.

Anyways, I had just paid it off and I was going to park it and start doing some mods! OH WELL!

It's a very SUCKY feeling when something like that happens. I hope you can sue the flying sh!t outta him and get whatever you can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People have to pay and suffer as they have made you suffer. Only then will some of this crap we have to put up with from scum of the earth subside!

P.S. They never found the guys!
