Ouch, hurts, get well ASAP. Took a beating, but i'm sure that fender just needs a little polishing and you'll be good to go. 
It should be totalled, frame damage, complete front end, fenders, re-align all panels, airbags, etc. Good for parts.

You know the phrase "...you should see the other guy", hes probably saying that about me. I didn't get a good look but looked like only his front bumper got tore off and maybe damage to his head lights, nowhere near the damage that my car took.

That really sucks. But you're OK and the car can be fixed/replaced. It really was a sweet looking car.

That doesn't make much sense to me but I'm no expert. All I can say is what the NHTSA crash ratings say and the 2010 Mustang coupe got 5 star ratings all around. A 1995 civic got a 3 and 4 star mix, but they never tested a side impact, I'm only guess that that's what it was for it.
But eh, maybe I over analyze. I'm sure someone more qualified will figure it out. Glad you're alright nonetheless and in the end that's what a car is meant to do in a collision.

I went through the same thing almost exactly a year ago. I would be shocked if it is not totaled. Now...on your neck. Be careful. As I type this I am still in a quite a bit of pain. I didn't think I was going to be too bad off, but I am probably looking at neck surgery due to disc issues at c5-c6 from my wreck. Symptoms may go away, or get worse and will change. Keep a close eye on it. If it comes and goes, or you have any problems with pain or numbness going down your arm or fingers, you will want an MRI. Getting one of those is wise before physical therapy too. I am not trying to get you worried, but you don't want to think you are fine and have problems later. Most of us hate to complain about pain, or go to a doctor, but look at your car....your body went through that same impact.
I thought I was going to get by, without surgery....but now...maybe not.

I got rear-ended a little over three years ago. A couple fingers on my left hand went numb. Many X-rays showed nothing but a M.R.I. showed 3 disk were bad in my neck. I had the surgery done, i now have a metal plate with 8 screws and 6 staples in my neck. I got an out of court settlement of 6 figures but it took right at 3 years to get it. The day after i got my settlement i ordered my 2011 Mustang that come in on May 11th.
I don't know the laws of your state but you need to talk to a lawyer.

Well that sucks, guess I'll go to the hospital later in the week to get that checked out when I have a day off from work.
Haven't heard much from the insurance company, we got the rental car Friday and supposedly the other person hasn't met with his agent yet. I'm hoping to hear some thing tomorrow. If the car gets totaled and insurance pays what I owe on the vehicle I may replace it with an 11 but I may just hold off and see what the 2012 302 boss will be.
