One Less Tungsten..



It was a bad wreck, but coulda been worse. My aunt got her knee knocked up a bit, and I just got a seatbelt laceration.

Heres what Happened:

We had just left WalMart, and I was driving, we turned onto Lacey, the man street in the town I was in, Hanford, CA. I set the cruise @ 45 mph, the speed limit until after a T near a canal. I saw everyone stopped, as it should be, then looked down, to make sure I was at 45, since i'm meticulous like that, and in that brief second, an Oldsmobile to my left decided to dart out, and creamed the driver's front side. The world went all out of control for a moment, and, during my 'black out' I had apparently guided what was left of our Stormy between a lamp post, and a stop sign, and past an F450 utility truck.

As it sits, the Cop said the accident was not my fault, and me and my aunt are okay, her knee is just banged up, and I have a seat belt laceration.

One car dead, the other in the shop..

Welp, time to go shoppin for another GT

Glad you both are OK. We have a tungsten GT, also.It would hurt immensely to lose it to some idiot hitting her. Hope you find another soon!

Car accidents suck. Glad to hear everyone is okay though.

Are you planning on getting a similar GT?

That sucks!! I freaking HATE "dive bombers" that just HAVE to charge into your lane without looking!!! I am paranoid about them, especially on the freeway.

Stupid dive bomber. He should be publicly castrated for his stupidity.

That being said, I am very glad to see that you are OK!!! As has been said many times before... YOU cannot be replaced - the CAR can!!! My best wishes to you and your aunt for a speedy recovery.

This is NOT how we Tungsten owners want to increase the relative rarity of the color!

Glad you're OK...hope you're back in the saddle again soon!

Took a day for it all to sink in, and now, i'm hurt, and im ****ed. I finally had a dream goin, well, rather, my aunt and I, for us both to have a Mustang, and a 'respectable' one at that. We finally got that, and then some ****ing ***** in a stupid **** Oldsmobile has to run a sign, and ruin it.

Now the aunt is lookin at Sport Tracs and Tauruses..

****ing stupid dive bomber..

****, I miss that car.
