Default Wounded 'Stang

Well, I was planning on my first thread on here to be one filled with pictures of my brand new 2009 Mustang V6 Pony Package that I drove home on Saturday, but unfortunately, my beautiful car was involved in an accident yesterday, a mere four days after I got it.

Anyways, I was in a turn lane about to turn onto another street when my Mustang was struck in the rear bumper by the other car. As far as the fault goes, it lays completely on the woman in the other car.

Luckily, as far as I can tell the extent of the damages to my car is a torn up bumper. The bad news is that the other driver does not have any insurance, and I will most likely receive nothing from her to compensate for the damages she caused. This whole situation has just upset me to no end.

Here's one of the few pictures I have of my car before the accident:

Nice car man. Sorry to hear that it got hit when you just got it, but the better side of this is that now you can pick out an aftermarket front such as roush, gt etc to make your mustang stand out from the rest

If it was my front bumper, then I'd definitely consider going for an aftermarket replacement, however since it's my rear bumper, and the damage is mainly on the driver's side, nowhere near the exhaust, I think I'll have to stick with a stock bumper as a replacement, though I do plan on eventually going dual-exhaust with the FRPP kit.

Probably not worth suing over a bumper. She's already facing consequences from the police for driving w/o insurance.

Sorry to hear about your car.
