The Mustang is no mo

Well, my good intentions are not always well received or appreciated.

Sunday before last I was washing my wife's car when it started to rain so I figured I'd save some money and let the rain rinse it out. Then the winds came, I figured I wouldn't even have to dry it. Then a neighbor's 100 foot oak tree decided to come down and detail her car. Then I had to listen to her sobs for an HOUR. Then it was clean up and chainsaw time for the next four hours. Now I know what Friday the 13th feels like!

I must say the GT vert came came out in preeeetty good shape with the exception of the vinyl top, the bent C-pillar, the cracked windshield, the busted hood, the newly customized front fenders, the pop out front grille, and the sweet sounding rattles.

But the wipers worked like a charm.

WOW!!! Major Bummer, but as you are a master negotiator, I'm sure there is a new car in the driveway already!

I had a branch dent my roof on my previous Mustang.

A tree though. That's something else! Sorry to hear about that. New car!

That hurts! Natures way of hinting you should go green?? Who knows. I'm sure you'll get in a replacement ride soon.

I can't post the pics of the of the damage since they are high resolution but here is her new baby. Unfortunately it is not a Mustang but it is a Ford, kind of.

Sorry to hear that. And she only sobbed for an hour? I'd have sobbed for much longer

I called burningman (it sounded like I woke him up... SORRY! ). I emailed him a few pics and he is going to reduce them for me. I'll post them when he does.

BTW, I forgot to tell him what the pics are all about and he doesn't know what happened. 10 to 1 he'll give me a call... after he recovers.
