Head on collisions suck, just on my way to practice (Texas a&m CC Runner) and some idiot in a stratus runs a stop sign. We both coming at each other round 50mph, legal limit, and he didnt even try to stop. The only trails from either car were from fluids as i slid across the road.

Well the good thing is you can still tell the tale!

If it would have been a head on or drivers side impact id be learnin how to walk again after surgery. Wouldve broken at the knees and shins. Ankles and feet would be torn up too. Thats whats im most thankful for, i can use my legs.

jerseygirl

that looks horrible ...a car can be replaced but a person can't be, glad you are ok.

Pinoy361

Yea, thats actually one of the first things i told the other guy lol. Oh well, i should be getting about 8k from his insurance so its time to find a Mach, or maybe a Cobra! (;

jerseygirl

good luck on the hunt and stay safe!

Pinoy361

Safe is my middle name! Lol, and yea ill keep things updated. Already found a few cobras in the area. Ugly flames on a couple but nothin a paint job wont fix

Glenn

wow that was a big hit. Glad your ok I bet your sore tho

Pinoy361

Well lets just say i know what an 80 year war vet feels like everyday now. Plus my knuckles broken from hittin the windshield on impact

Dang dude. Glad you're okay. It is such a shame to see any car look like that. Especially when you love your car. I've lost a few vehicles due to other people not paying attention and each time I send one off to the scrap yard it hurts like I lost a family member. I'm just a sentimental dork though. lol.

Good luck with your hunt and post pics when you get the new one!

Pinoy361

Haha yea it was my first car, paid for it and everything! I kissed her goodbye :'(
And i found an 08 gt 5-spd manual that i might spring for

stupidgenius36

****, that sucks. Glad you're ok though, and glad you didn't have a passenger. Lookin' forward to seein' pics of the new ride.

make sure to ask for some pain and suffering cash.

Its always sad to see a car go. Even more so when its your first love.

Hytek

Holy crap man! Glad to hear your ok! Really puts some meaning to "Built Ford Tough".

Pinoy361

Headin to the doctor tomorrow, back smartin pretty good so not only is the other guys insurance gonna ahoot up, hes gonna be takin a big cash loss as well. Im tryin to get through college on my own so im taking every advantage.

StangMahn

glad you're okay bro. That looks like one hell of a hit.

The cars give their lives to keep you safe, that's for sure. Mine certainly did.

David Young

Glad your o.k. Talk to a good Lawyer, they will tell you what to do.

Sometimes the cases take years to close but its worth it because of your future health. My brother got in a fatal accident a couple years ago that wasnt his fault (passenger in at fault vehicle died) and its still barely moved at all. Obvioisly fatalities take longer but its a pain in the ***. You will be to doctors surgeons physical therepy psychologists ect. Takes a ton of time

stupidgenius36

What he said. If things have to go to court, expect it to take a long time. Years can pass, before anything at all starts to get done.

Things usually happen pretty quick down here in Corpus Christi. Backs really startin to hurt so i might hit the emergency room tonight who knows.
