Dayum man, that's horrible......You real lucky and I'm real glad your ok. That looked horrific, I would have someone look into the TCS problem though. Maybe it's something that needs to be looked at or revised. If we the (drivers) cannot manualy correct compensate for slippery conditions or going into a spin, I don't see how that is safe or effective. TCS is supposed to help you not be a hinderance.
I think I want to get GAP......worst mistake I made with this thing.

wow man.... your lucky to walk away from that uninjured!
So far, it seems the people who have had nasty accidents in the new stang have not gotten seriously hurt... glad Ford did their homework when they engineered these things.
GAP insurance.... I have that too.... wouldn't do it any other way while I have a loan. I also have "Underinsured" coverage for those cheapo's who have the minimum and hit me.

$7,000 is a big ****ing gap! I'd be interested to know what state farm offers you for it if they total it. Where are you coming up with this $7,000 difference in the value and what you owe? How much do you owe? I hate to say it, but you'll probably not be able to afford insurance on the GT after this wreck. You'll be lucky if state farm doesn't drop you, they like to do that.
My gap insurance was $4,000 down and a good price to begin with.

well for underinsured, your insurance company takes the initial hit to cover your *** but you better bet they go after the other party. See, it could be YOU having to go after the guy. So underinsured coverage can be a plus in SOME cases, just like gap.

Anytime my insurance has to pay is not a plus for me.
