Well boys, I havnt been around the forums much lately because of school and what not. But besides that, The mustang is no more.
When your parents tell you not to drink and drive, LISTEN! I learned that the hard way, and I'm just lucky to be here talkin to you fellas.
This is a bad time for a plug, but, I got 3 fair condition saleen rims for sale if any of you guys want to snag them for pretty cheap. They have a little curb rash, but thats about it.
These pics still send chills down my spine, and damn near a tear to my eye when i look at them.....I'm sure i'll get another mustang one day, but for now, I think I'm going with something a little slower. I cant afford anymore tickets.
im really sorry about the car bro, but thank god youre still here to share. good luck in the future and hopefully we see you in another mustang one day.

Anyone else involved in the accident?
Shame to see the stang like that, but if you were driving drunk, and are in good running shape now, I have no sympathy sorry :(

Yea your not going to get any sympathy from me. I cant stand drunk drivers. The only thing i will say is please learn from your mistake and dont do it again.

Surprising you survived considering the condition of that car. How fast were you going, and what happened?

i figured i'd catch grief, but i deserve it i guess. Nobodys hurt, except for my previously beautiful car. Lesson learned for sure, that was a pretty good wake up call.
I appreciate those of you who have at least some nice things to say, haha. I miss my car a lot. I posted this because I used to frequent the forums a lot and thought some members would just be interested to see the pics and what CAN happen. You young guys learn from me and don't do it yourself. I'm not looking for sympathy fellas, just sharing some pics.

From what I know so far, I can take basically whatever I want from the car now, So if anyone see's something they want, shoot me a p.m. with an offer and I'll see what I can do.

05-15-2008, 01:29 PM
Good thing that you or nobody else was hurt... I feel the same way about drunk drivers... I would kill someone if they ever hurt or killed anyone that I was related to in any way by a drunk driver. It sucks that the message had to come across this way to you, but I bet you wont ever do it again.
Sorry to hear about your loss.

05-15-2008, 01:55 PM
I had a front end crash similiar to yours back in 96 (see screenname:eek:).
Anyway, wait till you see your first nascar driver pop a wall and you will have an instant flashback. It was a really strange feeling. [&:]
Were you wearing your seatbelt? Hope you were, I wasn't and my face met up with the rearview mirror. Had to have stitches under my eye, actual eyelid and forehead.
GL and you'll be ok, just no repeats!! ;)

Best news is youre fine, and nobody innocent was involved.
You caught a break, you know that, but lot's of other people don't.
As much hell as a lot of people here will give you, I commend you (as some others have) for not 'altering the story' at all.
hope everything goes alright in the future. *ps, i liked your sig as much as the car ;-)*

some things u just have to learn from experience. i'm pretty sure everyone knows drinking and driving is bad. hell i knew it was bad when i was younger and i still did it anyway. that first accident has a way of setting u straight though. i know i'll never do that **** again that's for sure. i'm just lucky i didn't ruin a nice car like his when i was being stupid.

OMG! I remember when they were doing the best looking black stang comp. I had your stang on my desktop for a months. Glad your ok and sorry for the loss of your ride, I know how it feels. Ilost my first sweet ride when I was in college. Not to DD, but to a dislectic momment. Man I cried my ass off no lie. Took8 years before I bought another car that I really liked. Hope no one was hurt and that you are ok.
PM me about those red calipers. are they painted or aftermarket?

+1....I guess everyone in here is a saint. The kid made a mistake, i think he's learned from it. For him to look at his car is punishment enough. I'm sure those who are busting his balls have never got into a car with a drunk or got behind the wheel themselves after a few.I'll admit that i made the mistake of drinking and driving many years back and thankful i didn't kill someone or myself. It's no different than those who go out and drink ata local bar or chili's and decide to drive home. Whether it was 1 drink or 10, you've done it before so get off your high horse.

I PMed you about some parts
wgdt21
05-16-2008, 02:03 AM
for everyone with kind words, I thank you so much. It really does make me feel better in a time of such crap to know some other people liked my car. I loved that thing more than any of you guys could imagine, and I bathed and took care of it like a child. I made a mistake, and I learned from it. I won't ever be that stupid again, nor will I let anyone within my limits do such a stupid thing. I'm going to pay for this accidnt for a long long time, and Theres nothing really I can do about it. I think I'm going to get a 4 runner or something until I graduate college, and then maybe build up something really nice, but until then, Iwont think twice about a nice sports car.
But no joke, those of you with nice words really made me feel better. Thanks for at least understanding that I learned my lesson and things will be okay one day.
I have a ton of P.M's about parts, So if it takes a few days to get a respone, please don't flip on me.
I'll still lurk around the forums until I get a new stang to bug you guys with, so I'll be in touch.
Love you boi's
peace and love.

yeah for everyone whos giving this kid sh*t chill, we all f*ck up...
last year when i was in high school i was at this girls house with some friends drinking and by the end of the night i blacked out (dont do more then one 6shots in a cup chug of captain, i did 3 and still had more), woke up the next morning kinda confused how i got home because i was going to stay there, so i walked outside to my explorer and it was fine so i called the girl whos house i was at and she said while i was "walking" out the door i said, "dont worry ill wear my belt seat." and the b*tch still let me drive home, she lives in the same neighborhood as me but still. I havnt talked to her since and i dont have a single drink if im driving. My best friend called her the next day and gave her an ear full too. I didnt have a lesson anywhere near what you did dude but i learned it fast. and what you said about not letting anyone else do it is the smart thing, i was in no condition to leave and if you know your friends arent, do w.e. to not let them.
sorry man, great car but were young and we have our whole lives to have a nice cars, were both just lucky were still here to have that opportunity

Absolutely gettin in a car drunk is the dumbest thing u can do... but like i said if there is anybody on here that hasnt done somethin stupid in there life..there obviously not human. You set an example for the rest of us not to do that, and its a shameyou had to learn it the hard way... goodluck with ur new mustang search.
She was a beautiful car, im sorry to see it look that way.

05-16-2008, 12:33 PM
I don't think he's going to.
To be honest, it looked like he was probably in that 'hey, i'm ready for some fun stage' (as in, not **** faceed..lol)
Might have been messing around, curve too fast, clipped the front and DESTROYED the rear on a pole of somesort. That impact looks viscious.
I'll be 100% honest. I've been 21 for 2 years now, and I'd be a liar if I said that I'd NEVER gotten behind the wheel after a few drinks.
Theres a difference between 'knowing you'll be okay, unless you get pulled over cause you're probably over the limit' and 'screw it, i wont get pulled over....'
those of you who do occasionally have a drink and drive know what i'm talking about
I've never been 'unsafe' but 1 time i know i shouldnt have been driving.. was pissed at myself as soon as i pulled in the driveway [>:]

05-16-2008, 05:17 PM
Well I would tell you how horrible of a person you are for driving drunk and how stupid you are but I won't. My last mustang was flipped end over end 3 times and rolled 2 time after I had been drinking (4 beers). I know it wasnt the beer that caused the accident it was the inch of ice on the road the ass tailgating me but it was the beer that let me think I could speed up to get distance for the ass to make my turn. Luckly the cops didn't find me drunk and wrote a no fault report but I know it was stupid. Haven't drank and drove since. Hope you get another mustang ( insurance bought me a better one) and I hope you learned a lesson.

05-16-2008, 07:12 PM
yea it sucks that he made a mistakeand destroyed a beutiful car. but you play with matches you will get burned. im glad that your all right and you didnt kill anybody but it happens far too often.. mothers, fathers, daughters and sons never to return to there familys thats so sad that somebody wouldnt take the time to plan ahead. hey if your going to a bar to get drunk how are you going to get home?????? to me thats permedated if you know that when you leave you will be intoxicated.
im not trying to bash this guyfor the mistake that he made, hell no one on this forum is a saint and we all have made mistakes(some peoples are just bigger than others!)i myself i stole a 90 mustang gt when i was 15in the middle of january in michigan with 3 feet of snow on the ground. i broke in to the auto shop at my high school hot wired it and went for a joy ride that quickly turned bad. needless to say i hit a turn sign doing 120+ and sliced the car in 2 all the way to the dash thank god it was there causethere was a river 10 feet away and a 100+ year old oak tree less than a foot from the drivers door. i accepted ALL responceablty for my actions and the beating i recived from the cops. plain and simple i did it and it was all my fault and i had to face all the critizism from my actions and was force to change high schools,pay over 40,000 dollars in lawer fees and ruined my life for 3 years over a stupid joy ride. once again im sorry for your loss and i just hope that you will NEVER drink and drive again. a 10 dollar cab ride is cheaper than a 15,000 dollar car and jail time.

Damn man sucks about that car it looked nice but like others say I feel not a bit sorry for you, thank god your ok tho. If you was that lit and drove you deserve no pitty, I lost a good friend to a drunk driver on our prom night . Some ass was really lit , trying to show off and hit my boy and his girl and killed them both. Everyone sayin its just a stupid mistake must have never lost anyone to a reatarded situation, Drinking and driving is a matter of common sense and if you dont have enough of it to tell your not able to drive then you shouldnt be driving period. Im not trying to rag on you or preach but damn that sucks man .

Sucks man, everyone makes mistakes. I'd be a liar if told you that I'd never been behind the wheel drunk, but luckily my lesson was learned without wrecking a car (although I have totaled a car when perfectly sober). Anyways, thats a long way from being the #2 on the black mustang pageant we had a while ago, that was a nice car man. Its a shame, but **** happens, just be happy you walked away from it. Hopefully you have learned your lesson and without the cost of personal injury or someone elses life.

Sorry to hear about your car. Remember running against you for the best looking black stang contest lol. Hope everything works out for you. I wrecked my 99 GT when I had been drinking, but it was due to black ice. Similar story to oxfordgt's story. I had a 98 4runner before that in college. Best vehicle I've ever owned. You won't be disappointed with it. Plus you'll find more money in your pocket since 4runners really don't need modding. Good luck bro. -SHO
