Side Swiped!
Well some people can be real jerks. I got side swiped todday when a guy in a truck decided to swing into my lane. Got the stang pretty good. I'm lucky I was able to pull it back from the ten foot deep didge on the side of the road or I might not be typing this.
Sadly he didn't even ask if I was ok!!! When I asked for his insurnce info he told me I could get it from the accident report. He was ticketed for wreckles driving and improper lane change (Can't really remember I was pretty pissed at the time). However, the officer was cool and gave me all of his information after the guy left.
My mechanic has already looked at it. Appears it's going to need a new K-member, A-arms, and maybe some rear suspension Panhard and brace LCA's. It will also need four new wheels and tires!
Here's some picks.

Wow that absolutely sucks, it seems you can't keep your stang out of the shop for more than a few weeks at a time...j/k.
Seriously though, what a pain in the ***. I can't even imagine how pissed off I would be if that happened to my car. Hopefully you can get that fixed up real quick and continue enjoying your 5.4. Also, why do you need FOUR new wheels?

All four wheels are damaged. He shredded the two on the passenger side with his truck and the two on the otherside were tore up on the curb.[:@]
Tires are rubbing on the fenders and gouged pretty good on the passenger side also.[:@]

That BLOWS HARD!!!!! What goes around comes around, what a *****!!!I probably would have ended up in jail dealing with an attitude like that, especially when his dumb *** hit you and hes going to have an attitude!!!! [sm=badbadbad.gif]
For some reason our stangs are like bees to honey when it comes to getting hit.....been there done that!!!
Sorry to hear and I hope all turns out and his premiums go out the roof!!!!!!

+1 on our cars being magnets.
Just when you had it all together something like this happens, sorry about that. But before you know it, it'll be back to normal. I had mine hit before I had 4000 miles on it....Happens to the Best of Us.
