The drunk's insurance company will probably be mailing you a check. The check is usually about $1,000 dollars, and if you chose to accept the amount then you can not go after them in court. Youre in a good position to have a lawyer, but the majority of the money the lawyer gets you in court will probably go to him. In the long run you will probably make out with more cash in court, but there is no telling how long it will take or what you will receive.
Thanks for all the love guys, Its nice to talk about with others that can totally understand what I'm going through.
Insurance still has yet to check it out, the car got sent to the local body shop for inspection; my brothers a local mechanic so he was able to go grab all he could. Things I wish i could take are my gt500 steering wheel, cdc decklid panel, etc.
I went to the dealership yesterday and had a look at the new v6's, I'm excited the fact that they're putting out over 300hp+, its a 6 speed, etc. a 3.7l should definitely be in the picture. I'll keep you guys updated. again, thanks for the support

Glad you're ok Jaybe, sorry to see nice 6 go though. It can be taken away from you all too easily, I'm just glad you weren't hurt and he was caught. My brother was killed by a drunk driver last July, so this **** is not to be taken lightly. You can try to grab a lawyer for a civil suit, but like what someone else said, there's no telling how long it could last and what the outcome could be. Some of these things draw out between 1-3 years, and if he really is a piece of **** like it seems, then he may just have nothing to his name anyway.
However, you do what you can to attend every hearing and movement on that criminal trial. Drunk driving is no joke and he could have killed someone and from the looks of the damage, you were about 3ft off from being seriously injured yourself. You can't let this guy get off easy and shrug your shoulders and chalk it up to a loss. You write that judge, tell them that the waste of skin and organs that hit you doesn't deserve to see the outside world for the next 5 years and never sit in a drivers seat for the next 20. Make his ******* pucker for the next 20 years after just the mention of a car.

Glad your ok I know it sucks to see your pony in that kind of state but it really doesnt look that bad. the front horns are obviously moved but if its bent in front of the shock towers only then its just body mounting points and not structural. Demand his insurance fixes it and be lucky that they arent paying 10x or more than that amount for medical bills that could have resulted from his criminal negligence

So sorry to hear about your loss Jay but I am happy to hear you were able to walk away from it.
I drive 7 hours every day (not on my stang) and you are right about idiots being out there. Hopefully soon you will be back in the saddle again.

I was unable to flash the car back to stock due to the messed up electronics. you think bama tunes will send me an unlock for my tuner?
