There's really no news to take - that is unless of course she makes the payments [8D]

People (including wives) need to understand that for most of us, these cars are serious investments/dream cars/2nd (or maybe 1st!!) loves/etc......not toys that we are willing to throw the keys to anybody for joyride. I know not everybody is as **** as me, but the only joyriding done in my car is with ME in the driver's seat And that includes service test runs.

I'm glad the wife is ok. I'm a victim of the "wife crash Mustang syndrome" and the one thing I'm really glad is that the new Mustangs are built really well and they seem to hold up pretty good on an accident. BTW, the wife hasn't driven the Stang ever since.

You guys would probably say i'm lucky. I offered over and over for my wife to drive my stang when we're out cruisin' on weekends, b/c I know she would love it. But she always says no. She's actually afraid that if something happens to it while she's behind the wheel, even a stone chip, I'll blow my brains out. At least she loves me more than my car. Now if only my wife was built as well as my Mustang... that's another forum.

The airbag system is very intricut and will only fire when they would do more help than damage. That looks like a side impact somewhat, and it would have probably hurt her more than helping.

My wife never drove my 2005 Mustang since i bought in June. Maybe someday I will let her on an open highway.
I know our cars will get knicks and dents someday, that you can not avoid,but I like to keep it as nice as I can without having someone smashing it up.
I almost had a nice accident Friday morning that will leave you breathless.
I was going to work and I was approaching the railroad crossing by my house when all of a sudden the lights came on the gates started to come down as I going over the tracks. I suddenly stop and threw it into reverse hoping no one was behind me. The gate on my side came down and I started to freak out. The gate was fully down and I made it off the tracks just in time. Only to fear the gate hit my roof of my Stang and i backed up. Think about it, the gate coming down and scraping when the car was going backwards. I was so pissed. I went over the tracks and pulled over the side. I got out and almost started to cry and looked at my roof. I was shocked to find nothing was wrong. You could still see the dew was still in tacked. I swore the gate came down and scraped my roof.They must have changed not to come down onto cars like they had in the past like it happend to my neighbor.
I don t know what happened that morning. If I was tired and didnt see the lights fast enough or somehting got messed up. But I can say this, that train was flying. From crossing to the next crossing it was to fast. I think that what caused the situation to happen. Everytme I go over it now, I'm very careful now.

### UPDATE ###

I spoke to the insurance adjuster yesterday, and he said that a new hood was needed. I asked about aftermarket hoods and he said as long as I don't mind paying the difference, he didn't mind either. So I am trying to get a new GTR Ram Air hood and new Street Scene grille that centers the fog lights. Hopefully I'll get it back in *gulp* 2-3 weeks. At least they gave me a nice Ford F-150 4 dr truck to drive while it is in the shop.

More updates as I get them...
