This guy probably thinks we are huge a$$holes lol.

But what did he expect...lessons on how to drift?

He could have at least lied about how it happened and said he lost it in the rain lol.

OP, seriously we all know that we can be 8====>'s but come on what did YOU expect from us?????

Good luck with getting it fixed and I hope this lesson has served you well.

I wouldn't drive it. I did the same thing many years ago, and it was one of the dumbest things I've ever done. QUIT driving like an idiot. Second, you don't drift in a mustang, stop watching so many movies.

Sigh. just... sigh. to think how many potentially awesome cars have been tweaked beyond repair to dumb **** like this.

OP: scrap the car. if you hit hard enough to crack 3 wheels and have tranny problems, that car is no longer straight.

Oh no , you didn't. Hell no. Crashed a Mustang while drifting. Take a bus and stay off the road. Tore your car up next time may be your butt to match.
