WRECKED!!!! RIP ol' girl
ok, so for those of you that know my story on my mustang, it was all short lived. Yesterday i was on my way to a doctor appt. Cruisin along and get on an on ramp to the highway, naturally i hug the inside of the road. Well in this case it was a bad idea, there was to much gravel, and going 30mph and gravel don't exactly mix. The rear end slid out and i tried to save it, almost had it and then the rear slid the other way well i tried to get it back the other way but it was too late. BAM!! right into a jersey barrier she went. Destroyed the passenger side bumper and the fender, shoved the radiator back and some how a pulley broke off the motor. I need your guys input on what i can do with her. I can't afford to bring her back although it kills me to give her up. I don't have the time to dismantle her and part her out, so im looking for a buyer. Do you think that someone on here will take her and use her as parts or should i just take it to the junk yard. Any advice on this would be greatly appriceated

A perfect example of why people shouldn't drive a sports car if they can't drive smart.
Junk it, and get something that is right for your driving skill level. Perhaps you can find a Yugo somewhere.

x2. Come on man, you were goin more then 30mph if you were on an on ramp getting on the highway. I've never heard anyone lose control at 30mph unless they were on ice.

True story. I can drive 50+ on gravel without to much worry. Sounds like you were not familiar with a rwd car losing traction.

I'll have to agree with you on this one. Even though the car doesn't have the much power....idk how the OP wrecked it. I guess we can count it towards the RWD

It could have happened...sometimes stuff happens that you cant explain. You say there is no way someone looses it at 30, but we wernt there....either way sorry about the car. Craigslist is good, or ebay...
