Well, just talk to your parents and let them know how you feel and you learned a lesson and see if they will let you get another one. Like other people said, you learned a lesson I am sure, and your parents should understand that. First car, bound to have a few mistakes, somewheres along the line and your okay and the car can be replaced.

Just try to point out the safety features on your V6 and show how well it held up in your crash and what not.

best of luck man.

You should have ran that raccoon over man, it'll be ok...5.0???

Also, you might be able to catch a used 5.0 GT for around the same price you got your new 6, but your parents might not want the extra power and the extra insurance that will come with it.

This is why hunting is still so popular, learn to smoke those raccoons early on, then you don´t avoid them unless they´re big (deer).
Of course if you have a beater, many might still aim for the deer, might be cheaper than buckshot.

Yeah, just car/toys, glad the car did it´s job and took the damage. Still sorry to hear about any being FUBAR´d, poor 6+6´s included. But always better that way around then how it can go sometimes.

I don't think it's the wisest idea for a 17 year old to have 300hp, let alone 412.

You know, as a parent I would not want my teenagers driving a 2011 5.0....too much power! Heck the 2011 V6 has PLENTY to get you into trouble.
As far as your parents wanting you get something bigger....why? Bigger usually means heavier which means you will spend more $ on gas. If it's a safety issue about owning a Mustang, assure them that you are very safe.

Glad you are OK! Don't worry about the car, it can be replaced.

Eh, I'm 16 and my car is in my signature. Sure I do stupid things, and I am glad I didn't get the GT or GT500 cus I know I'd prolly be dead by now. It's hard to control yourself with 300 HP and still a teen, but most adults cant control their 'Stang's anyways either. live and learn.

Don't underestimate what YEARS AND YEARS of driving experience gets you. Driving skill is not understanding how to operate the car functionally, you can train a monkey to do that, its about having the experiences to allow you to safely avoid crashes and other obstacles... and the only way to do that, is to spend many years behind the wheel.

To the OP, glad you're ok, that is the most important thing. Your insurance is probably going to absolutely skyrocket, and thats if they don't drop you immediately. I guess you can chock this one up to the experience I mentioned above, because I'm betting next time you'd run the animal over if you couldn't avoid it safely.

LMAO....what impress's me is 16 and 17 year olds with a car I have had to wait on
until after a family was raised lol
