Crap Luis ! sorry to hear that but really glad it wasn't too bad and more importantly you are OK. Still when your baby gets wrecked it's not easy to take. Don't worry about b*tching about it, some of us would still be goin off on the idiot that didn't know how to stop.
Oh.... you don't sound like Ed
In the smaller version it's hard to see but there is a 12 pack of Hoegaarden in the door of the trailer.
This will probably sound like cracked out jibberish (probably worse than GottaHaveIt 
)
My baby was rear-ended
My first accident ever and not something to be proud about
I was heading out to the track today with a buddy of mine and kept hitting stop and go traffic. He's following behind and we're just around the corner to our exit when we encounter another halt in traffic. It was the type of halt that makes you brake harder than usual but not hard. We stop with no issues and at a safe distance (I can see his bumper) when all of a sudden I hear a screech and my stomach churns. The screech was followed by smoke coming from behind my friend. I realize its a car that's not about to stop and just barely got some runway in front of me so I give it gas to lurch forward... the car dips but doesn't make it out in time.
This guy hit my friend who in turn hit me.
Notes: Ford really does build FORD tough
Only give away that something happen to me is the bent license plate Hey Leo, no more dealer frame 
The bumper will definitely have to be replaced but everything else seems fine. You have to get close to see the damage. My friend's 300C wasn't so lucky. The front had a bent grille, cracked lower bumper and a clip broke off the edge of it. The rear was done. both lights shattered. The trunk was bent up. Rear valance was up and smashed. His passenger doors do not align now.
Okay, b*tching is done now

Carol Barker, a friend in North Carolina, was invited to help in the NASCAR Roush Fenway Mustang unveiling in mid-October. Somehow, she downloaded a photo of my car in motion taken by Drew Phillips then printed it. She then took it to the unveiling and had Mr. Edsel B. Ford II, Director, Ford Motor Corporation and Mr. Jack Roush autograph the photo. I just thought it was pretty darn nice of her...
Still not trimmed or framed but:
Edsel B. Ford just beginning to sign a photo for Scot Chapman, Roush's official test driver; Ford just signed mine and you can see the orange glow beneath...
Unlike Jed where his Roush and camera equipment is covered in signatures, I just thought it was pretty cool since I'll never have a chance to meet Jack Roush to have him sign my car...

My next mission is to get Carrol Shelby's sig on my lens. I may try to get him to sign a picture I took of him and his wife.
Similar to this shot...

Time to add a new all black frame I'll see if I can get pics tomorrow of my car but here's my friends:
The booth was f*cking tiring! It was a pretty cool day though. We all knocked out once we got back About being a Carnie or the bumper?

Started a little project today I'm changing out all my PVC lines and converting to AN fittings and braided hoses from Aeroquip>. Eventually I'll switch out the Home Depot Catch Can!

Any ideas? I don't want to go out and buy anything of value just for his siggy.
Like Leo said in FB, that's one less 300 on the road now.

Ever consider swapping out the factory radiator pressure hose clamps for some SS clamps?
Also, it's time to polish out the blower pulley!

**** that's a good looking engine bay jed!
bill, lots of people are "pimpin" out the 300's now. There's several of them around where I'm at, with big rims and tint, and those stick on fender vents.

I think she wants your eggroll.
I still don't know what I'll have the old man sign.. if he's even there.

Jed, that engine bay will be bangin'!

"Shel" will be signing on Wednesday. I'll have him sign my lens fo sho.
I have polished radiator hose clamps that I haven't used yet form Python. Maybe I'll get them on this round.
Or I though about a solution from Mr Gasket that I saw at Pro Parts.

Also visited Hillbank yesterday, I was dreaming about a AC Cobra Replica...
Hillbank has some great deals this month, after I re-join ROEA I'm going to buy these coilovers from ROUSH!
Also looks like SoCals favorite mechanic now has his shop back, Eric Voss! Below is a cost sheet that I got from Hillbank. For the month of December Joe at Chicane will offer a deal on rear gears for $400.00 bucks that gears and installation.
