If you actually read my post it says "illegal (or was it)".

He was on the center lane, all other traffic was stopped. I saw him dart out (ran red) when I was 3/4 done with the LEGAL u-turn.
The guy could have stopped easily (It's an older man), I floored it to attempt to evade, but the car did nothing.
It wasn't a perfect t-bone hit, he got me from an angle

thanks! We don't choose the accidents that may happen to us, I got lucky with an 'ideal' one you could say.
I may pick up a dirtbike or quad to beat up offroad, now that the Ranger is my daily driver.

Heck yes!!! I missed my '90 and had to have another. I thought 09 was going to be it for the Ranger, but apparantly its life has been extended a couple more years.

Yeah, feels like I only had it for a blink of an eye. I bet you don't look back at the 05 you had eh? I'll definitely step it up on the next Stang.

Yep, I'll be checking out an 08 Bullitt in Black tomorrow. It's perfect, as it reminds me so much of my car but with much better performance hehe.

Ouch man thats rough. Glad you and your friend are ok. Good luck with the new mustang! I hate to sound like a vulture here but Id love to pick up that C&L intake from you. Let me know via PM when you are looking to sell it and how much your looking to get for it.

Thats messed up. Glad you got taken care of by your insurance and that you have a second car. At least you wont have to drive around in a rental that you feel to be substandard and pick up another car note any time soon. The Ranger is pretty sweet too.
