I am a school bus mechanic. Thursday, we had a bus broke down as I was about to head home. It was about halfway between my house and the shop, so I drove another bus and had my other mechanic, who rides to work with me, drive the mustang. I'm running about 60 mph when I see a huge tree limb at the last minute and couldn't avoid. Obviously, my bigger concern was my car right behind me. He couldn't avoid it either. After pulling over and jacking my car up to get the limb out which was wedged between my driveshaft and exhaust, we notice my lower grille is gone. So, anybody have any ideas for a lower grille?

www.fordparts.com or your local ford dealership will have them for about $40-50 I don't remember the exact price.

yeah, i bet you can imagine how i felt as i looked in the rear view mirror and saw the hazards on and him slowing down. he says he'll buy me a new 1, but if i had missed it with the bus, he probably would have missed it too
