That would be why I HATE those stupid jacked up trucks. There's ZERO reason other than for cosmetic phallic enhancement. Every guy I've seen driving one of those trucks was about 5'2". I'll bet that trunk lid in the head didn't feel so good.

I remember seing those last pics of the yellow one. Was something about the guy driving the truck. He was illegal, or had no insurance, something like that.

Seing alot of yellows smashed up! You would think its the easiest color to see!

Yeah, wasn't that from a member on here? I think some people were wondering if it was as much a fault of the Mustang being lowered as the truck being raised.

I don't remember who it was, but if I remember correctly, she walked away from it. Had there been anyone in the back seat, it looks like they would have had a bad day...

At MOST the Mustang would be lowered 2" while the truck looks like it's closer to 10".

I don't see how the Mustang could be at fault if it was lowered as much as 2 inches where as the truck could be lifted 6 inches, if not higher. I mean there's only so much a car can be lowered where as a truck be as jacked to the sky as they want to be. Hell I've seen trucks in my area that looked like they were raised twice the legal limit for what they are allowed in my state. My bestfriend's Celica got crushed because a jacked up Trailblazer ended up literally sititng on top of her due to bad weather and not paying attention to where the driver was going. It ended up literally sitting on the front half of her car. She was lucky to walk way with just a hyperextended elbow, and burns from the airbag going off. I'm not even lowered and I've been followed by trucks on the highway that look like if they got just a little closer to my bumper they could run me over like they are a monster truck.

I know you're not saying the Mustang could be at fault, just not understanding how any one could say the Mustang could be at fault for an accident like this when someone decides to raise their truck height excessively. A 1 to 2 inch drop or lift isn't excessive but a 5 to 6 inch lift is in my opinion. Still a terrible way for a Mustang to go out.

I don't think it split, I think the rest of it is in the passenger compartment.

This is a picture I took in Gdansk, Poland on June 7th, 2007, while there on a cruise. I knew there was Redfire stang in the picture, but it appears to be a V6 (when I zoom it on it ), so it's not the same car.

It's not split, it hit some immovable object - either a tree or a pole. Cars can take a lot in an elastic collision - i.e. w/another car. But they lose every time in inelastic collisions with fixed objects. We have such a sense of security in cars, but they're no more than a glorified tin can when they're moving at speed.

Car is from Inowroclaw, Poland and it is a GT. Driver tried to overtake a big truck, lost control and run into tree. The passenger felt all right didn't want to go to hospital, got back home, went to a sleep and passed away. He had some internal injures caused by G-force effect.

As i said, my black GT is crashed also. Some student girl (sunday driver) didn't yield me and I bumped into her Toyota Corolla. My car is damaged, I had some back pain for few days, but the worst is that I am still waiting for the parts. It is over 2 month waiting (**** ford poland)

Seeing That Picture Of The Redfire In Poland Really Makes Me Feel Safer About Our Cars. The Passenger Compartment Is Basically Still Intact

Looks like the differential housing is totally turned around the other way
