Unhappy Mustang down, Mustang down!!!! PICTURE UPDATE ON PAGE 6!!!!!!!!!!

Well fellas, i encountered some serious problems today.

Me and my car both felt the blow of hitting a tree at 40 Mph. It wasn't fun at all!

Basically my car is bashed up pretty good, everyone keeps telling me it could have been worse, but i literally almost cried just looking at the site of the aftermath.

I was heading to a tailgate party for my old highschool meeting up with a couple of my old friends since its their senior year, i didn't make it in my car... i spent 4 hours cleaning my car, then out of nowhere it started pouring rain... someone pulled out infront of me when i was going 50 and i didn't expect it, swerved to miss them out of fear, the car got squirrelly and i ended up jumping a curb and nailing a tree at somewhere around 40...

The car doesn't appear to have frame damage though, the front bumper, hood, and fender are completely destroyed... but the majority of the impact happened on the passenger side fender, it looks horrible. Topping it off the car that pulled infront of me drove off and i couldn't even remember what kind of vehicle it was or anything, so they got off scotch free. The car is repairable i believe, but i don't know how long its going to take.




Only pic i have for now, i'll try to get some more up eventually.
