Greetings from the island of enchantment in Puerto Rico

I was searching the web and found this forum and decided I would stop by and say hi.
I have a 2001 GT convertible that I take to shows, cruises and to the track.
Here are a few images of my Mustang:

Thanks. Having owned quite a few Mustangs in the past I think I can honestly say that I am certainly enjoying this latest one the most.
This is one of my favorite shots, my stang parked in my driveway:

I recently picked up a 2000 bright atlantic blue V6 for a daily driver and within a half an hour it was hit from behind while parked in front of our house in Isabela which is on a slight hill and it was pushed hard enough to roll it down the street and through a metal fence/gate.
Here are a few before pics:



When the Mustangs front hit the gate to the fence the gate held in one spot so it could not fall down allowing the car to roll over the gate, but instead the gate flipped up on top of the hood where the car then rolled under the fence gate. The gate scratched and gouged the entire top surface of the car. Tore off the hood scoop, gouged deep scratches into the windshield, tore up sections of the upper gaskets to the windshield and rear window, damaged the rear wing, etc.
Here is what the roof looked like to give you an idea of just how badly the entire surface was scratched/gouged:
