Horrible! I've had a few close calls with people coming into my lane and one time a woman in an SUV talking on her cell phone drove through a stop sign and almost T-boned me [:@]

Hopefully insurance works out and you'll be back on the road again!

Glad you are ok! I hope your pony is back to perfect after the repairs.

+1 loss of value claim.....if the guy had asked how you were? maybe I would let this slide...."get my insurance information from the cop?" Guy was a PR**K!

Take off bumper? You mean you can't fix it with red Loctite?

Thanks guys. I hope this gets fixed quickly! I had just gotten back from the Spring Nationals in Florida (Richard and Strictly Performance took second behind Urist) and had some interesting conversations with people about twin turbos. We were just about to start the twin turbo project (we are going to place them in the rear and feed them through the Eaton blower). Then this happens!

Now it looks like were delayed![:@]

We just can't win guys.
That's the down side of having a cool ride.

PLstang, the bodywork is no big deal because it's not internal/structural.
As far as the drive train, make sure that the Ins. adjuster doesn't close the file on youtoo soon.

This car will have to be test driven real good (in town and highway) to make sure no issues arise after the facts, like a couple of months later.
This is where most Ins. companies like to screw you, because of the "delayed damage"... In their eyes, it just doesn't exist.
I had a few cases where I had to fight like a mother ****er for my customers because of this.

I hope it will be a straigh shot for you and no hidden damage will be left unadressed.
Best of luck...

Thanks Pascal! I had the car taken to a body shop at a dealership (I know the owner of the dealership). The suspension work will be handled by Richard Lelsz of Strictly Performance. I know he's going to make sure the car is right. This car is kind of his baby! He's done all the work on it.
