Well...didn't think it would ever happen but I wrecked the stang last Wednesday. A 2005 Honda Civic was at a dead stop on an on-ramp to the expressway, the on-ramp was after a steep hill and I honestly just didn't see her until the last second when it was way too late. Damages total over $7,000 but luckily we just have to pay the deductible and it's all taken care of. My premium won't go up either thank god ($500 every three months).

AFTER

BTW: American-Speed is the car group I founded in Louisville, KY so that's why there is a watermark on the lower-right corner of the first image.

Yeah it wasn't as bad as it looked. The airbags didn't go off and all that happened to me was a bad headache when I went in to work that day. Parents were furious but when they found out the details they realized it couldn't really have been avoided foreal.

Wow....seems like the airbags should have gone off. Wonder why they didn't?

Glad you're ok. Hope the repairs go smoothly!

Glad to hear everyone was ok. Thats like a bad nightmare.

Should'nt the Honda have gotten a ticket for stopped illegally? Then his insurance pays for the deductable.
Or did you get one for driving to fast to avoid an accident?

I dunno how all that stuff works, but usually seems someone gets a ticket.

Either way, you'll be back cruisin in your stang before you know it.
