I joined the Fender-Bender Club.
I got hit on the Interstate and it could have been really bad. No
airbags deployed and no one hurt. I will give the AdvancTrac
credit for helping me get back in control, normally I would have it
turned off but I'm glad it was on.

Advance Trac has saved my bacon before. Went sideways on the highway trying to avoid a wreck that started just in front of me. Kept me in contol and got out of that slide without hitting anything or anyone and I drove home with a prestine car.
Glad you are all right. Now time for a wheel and tire upgrade

Glad to see no one in this thread talking about how they don't need AdvanceTrac. Unless you're a professional race car driver, you're not better than the system is, especially on the street.

Ah way she goes bud, i know those feels. I just scratched my new shelby wheels while parking next to a curb, need to get the wheels fixed and re finished and new tire just to be safe since it took a small chunk out of the sidewall. Sometime i wish i just drove some piece of crap and didnt care.... Burton has it all figure out with his beater lmao

But dude, sorry to hear that!!! You scratched your new wheels?!?!?!?!?!?! Nooooooooooooo Get 'er fixed up asap!

LOL - darn right Alex. Although, I think everyone is capable of having a beater. hehe. Just search the classifieds or workplace market, and find a pseudo reliable beater for anywhere between $1k - 2k. That's the same price that most of us pay for decent mods. All we have to do is sacrifice those mods for a little bit of time then voila

FYI...... The Dealership price to fix it was $6927.29 and Ford charges $1000 for a Brembo/TracPac wheel. I should have my car back in a week fixed with all Ford parts.

I got the wheel repaired in my driveway by a mobile aluminum wheel repair guy. He did a great job. You can only notice if you look closely under the Pirelli logo. I still have the same tire on the car. But will be replacing all 4 this fall.
