What does it say that the dealership I'm buying my car from is practically next door to a Walmart? :scratch:

Its wal-mart what do you expect.
I avoid that place at all costs its all fat soccer moms in SUV's too big for them and rednecks that take the diesel dually in to town for a milk run and cant park it.
Too funny!
I agree. And while we're on the subject of Wal-Mart, I've got another beef. I have to go there sometimes to pick up things for work, and they always leave carts out everywhere. Considering how enormously profitable they've been in recent years, can't they afford to pay a cart wrangler? I'm sure everyone will agree that carts are a parking lot menace. :angry:

Hey Drew,
You handled that situation very well. And those fellas that watched your car and reported the incident to you are worthy of a reward! Good catch for sure. I'm glad your pony will be fixed; I'm sure it will look good as new. The kid who hit your car may think twice about ignoring the consequences of his actions. So, some good did come of this!

Keep us all posted on the pony's recovery.

I'm glad to hear those witnesses helped you catch the culprit, props to those guys for helping. At least the boss was cool to deal with too.

Glad it all went well, well except for the hitting your car part. Good to see people still do the right thing!
Geez, these humongous trucks are attracted to stangs

You can't win,

It seems the minute you buy a new car, these things happen. Its good that it was resolved so promptly and simply.

Here in Edmonton, Alberta I think its time the government brought in the Alberta Parking Lot Act. Such act would indicate that drivers of automobiles can only drive in the actual driving lanes and not drive all over the parking stalls like its a free for all. Typical Redneck province.

What is it with F-350's slamming into our mustangs??? i.e. - another member hit 50mph by a raised F-350 . Glad to see some people still care, and others are just jerks!!

With all these trucks hitting mustangs I don't like it. With me in Louisiana at least 75% or more are trucks and 75% of those are big ones. Also lucky me West Monroe is the home of Skyjacker Suspensions so all the trucks have lifts on them. My poor car.

It's great that everything worked out OK.
But, you could have hidden damages. The impact energy from a good smack in the rear of a car is transmitted through the entire chassis and can damage the transmission and/or u-joints. Keep an eye on your car for leaking tranny fluid for the next few days.

Trips to Walmart are a job for the beater, if someone hits my beater I probably wouldnt even notice it already looks so bad.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago...Older guy in a truck backs into my Cougar and dents the fender and breaks out the headlight....Proceeds to move up one row of cars and a few spaces and walks into the dollar store next to the Enterprise Rent a Car I was working at....My car prep saw the whole thing and I was livid as heck....Saw him in the store through the window and knocked on it and told him to come outside....he acted like he didn't know what was up and looked the other way...I went in and let him know in so many words that the police were already on the way and if he didn't start providing me some insurance info it was gonna be hiney kicking time..LOL....turns out his idiot 16 yr old daughter had just gotten into a wreck and jacked up his rates so he tried to get away with it...His insurance company sent me a check for the repairs and like 10 days or car rental which I basically pocketed....rented a car for next to nothing at my branch with my discount and drove it for a few days while they did the repairs...made like 700 dollars on the deaal...WOOT!

Glad to see your damage wasn;t any worse bro....good luck getting her back on the road ASAP...

John

i think 2005 mustang + F350 = NOT a good combo... but thats just me. Good to see that you still have a bumper at least.

Pffft...just 'cause they got the wranglers, people still don't have the decency to put the carts in there.
