Posting this for no particular reason, other than hoping I can make FromZto5 shudder noticeably as he imagines Marilyn in the conditions Lucy is enjoying right now. Blizzaks FTW!

 

You know, that's another aspect that I forgot about... the joyriding possibility. I know it's probably very rare that it occurs, but jokes aside, I do know of 2 people, myself being one of them, where that occured. When I bought my Acura, my car had 10 miles, period. I picked it up a couple days later, it had 56. I about lost it with the general manager. None of them could explain where the 46 extra miles came from. My other buddy took it to a shop to get some work done for the day. Comes back to pick it up and noticed the dirt on car, plus the extra miles. Shop attributed it to "test drives to verify the work done". Excessive no doubt.

2 months old??? Sorry about that man... that is crazy.

And to deal with the "depreciated value" on my 2 month old car? That would seriously drive me insane. I'm very sorry to hear that. Not sure if I could look/feel at my car the same way Sue that dude.... (I know it's not really feasible... but just sayin')

Please no more...

Nice Shiaz!!! But is that a Chevy Lumina parked next to you??? WTF... why didn't you park next to something more worthy?

Kyle, you were successful at once again making me cringe on mustangs. Between a handful of you guys with snow pics plus Narphenal's carnage, I am paranoid about my car now. I need to go home and put a fence around my car. With my luck, the fence will fall into it, scratching her all to hell... LOL.

Marilyn and I need some quality alone time together. I need to give her an 8 hour detail, top to bottom...

 

:wince:

 

That's why I want to hide a tracker in the car, so if it goes over "x" speed limit or out of "x" area, I will have physical proof and can go tear into some ***. I'm an extremely nice and reasonable guy, as long as other people treat me the same way. I'll probably make a thread/guide to document how I handle the situation, similar to the other MustangSource member, so people can learn from my experience and see how I handle the situation.

Just got off the phone with the insurance people. They are going to send an estimator/appraiser to my house within the next two days to gauge the damage. The lady was extremely nice and apologetic, so far so good.

You can bet your *** I'm going to go after money to make up for the depreciated value on the car, however small it is. And, scars help us learn from our mistakes, this is definitely a learning experience for me. Life could be a lot worse, I just have to be thankful for what I do have, and that I am in good health. Most people my age would probably love to have to worry about a crushed fender on a new mustang. At least there is only body damage(from my inspections).

Just ordered an MGW shifter to help myself feel better.

 

^ Well stated. I agree, we all have better things in life to be thankful for. It just sucks that even though it's a "material" thing, it's something that WE worked very hard for, and that we value a lot, and has sentimental meaning to us. And to have that all damaged by irresponsible people (granted, an accident, but still, if he was careful, it would not have happened) gets me livid.

Keep us posted on the estimator/updates. Now you have me glued to your events.

As far as the MGW purchase... GREAT FIND. As you know, I've had my MGW on mine since almost new. One of my best mods.

 

Just got a call from the estimator. Going to be stopping by my work tomorrow mid day(which unfortunately means I am going to have to drive it up to work, I'll just stick in the right lane so most people won't see the fender, lol)

Did you see the new revision to the MGW?

 

Now with sound!

 

Pretty much sums up how I would have handled it. That sucks. Sorry man.

Looks killer man!

 

Interesting. I've been putting off buying one for so long. Will be buying one this month though. Finally!

 

Thanks!

Same here. From when I talked to them last week, they should be in stock this week, so now would be a good time to order one!

I already have the 401A Shift Boot, so I ordered the shifter and the classic black ball(the revision comes with the deluxe jam nut and washer).

I'll have to get it installed before I take it to the shop, so I can make sure the employees don't miss second to third when they take it for a joyride

 

That's awesome sir. I bought both white and black shift cue *****... So I can switch on the fly.

What's new about the MGW shifter from when I got mine?

 

more streamlined, can use the factory dust boot, easier to service, bushings are even larger than the previous model, not clamshelled etc.

I debated on getting both.

 

That's neat to know... Proof that technology keeps evolving for the better. I wonder if it's worth buying and installing a new one.

 

Jumping on this asap

 

This thread needs more pictures and less chatter!

 

And less mustangs in snow pics

 

My new alarm system! BEWARE! Lmao

 

Here is my frozen '14 at work. Rarely do we get weather like this in Mississippi. The ice was still on the car when I got to work.

 

I was out to sea when my daughter took this picture. Luckily the car was in the driveway instead of the parking lot at work.

 

Burton,..............did you say "less snowy" pics?! lol
