Remove the pony emblem from the grill and bury it in your backyard. Only fitting =(

 

Sorry to hear but, glad everyone is alive and mostly well. It's comforting to know our cars are very well engineered but, sad someone had to put them to the test in the real world. Keep us updated on your progress. As previously stated, I don't know how you don't see a screaming yellow car even at night.

 

That is great that you and your family is ok. We can only hope the other family fully recovers.

 

Glad to hear your OK considering the mishap. Are you sure you were going that fast when you hit the tree? Very few walk away from something like that.

 

I am relatively sure that was the speed that I was going when I was actually hit. The accident occured on an Interstate where the speed limit is 70mph. I was in the left lane keeping up with traffic. I know that I hit the brakes (I think I must have thought that I could be like Fred Flintstone and stop it with my foot, because the right foot is broken!!) because there are skid marks. However, when a car is in a skid and it hits grass, it will pick up speed. So, I am confident that we were close to that speed when we met up with the tree. Another contributing factor is that the tree bent over when we hit it which also dissapated some on the forward energy. I'll try to get some pictures posted so that you can see how the frame, motor mounts, and transmission actually worked. It is amazing. Oh yeah...Air bags really stink!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers and I know that I am still here for a reason. I started this post because I am thankful and I wanted everyone to know how the engineering in the pony reacted in such a violent crash.
So...everyone...have a great holiday season and remember the reason for the season!

Donna, I'm sorry to hear about the stang, but glad to hear that you and the family are relatively ok. Things like this really make us think what we have to be thankful for this season. The other vehicles's occupants will be in my prayers as well.

 

Very glad to hear all is well with you Donna, Prayers out to the family in the SUV also. Hope their children are OK.

Once again a tip of the hat to the engineering boys at Ford! Wish we could let Mr.Thai-Tang know about this.

 

dont worry he will..............i am sure he stops in and takes a look at what everyone is saying...

 

I'm glad you hear you guys are alright, that's what's most important. But it is great to hear that this car is safe..... you don't realize how important it is until something happens.

I wish you, your daughter and grandaughter a speedy recovery and again, I'm glad everyone is alright.

Scary, but glad to hear the safety features of the 'stang did what they were supposed to, and that no one was severely injured.

 

What a tough story. Thankfully you are somewhat alright. Best of Luck to you.

 

wow....glad to hear everything is ok with you

 

Glad you and your family is ok, we our prayers is with you, it shows the new Mustang is very safe car.

 

My prayers go out to you and yours, hopefully you will all make a good recovery. I feel your pain, I was just in an accident on 11/01/2005 and my car will probably be in the body shop till' mid December, like you however, I walked away with no bruises.

Good luck and hang in there.

 

Donna, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the occupants of the SUV.

 

I'm glad to hear you and your family weren't too seriously injured. My prayers go out to you and the family in the SUV.

 

Sounds like you something to give thanks for on this holiday. My thoughts are with all involved. Good luck.
