Lost my baby...
Been a while since ive been on here, but id just like to say that my GT got totalled about 3 weeks ago. I had the green arrow to turn left and some dude ran a red at like 55mph and creamed the front end, hit hard enough to twist the frame and crack the engine block.... At least i didnt get screwed over as far as money. Since my car had so low miles on it and was in such perfect condition (body shop guy even put that in in his report), they paid out over 14K for a car i paid 10K for. Im kinda heartbroken on a mustang though, i just cant find one that fits ya know. So for now i picked up a 04 Ranger Edge to tide me over and get some decent gas mileage till I find the right stang again.

Ya im fine, the dude had like mental problems or something, there was like crime scene investigators there and everything, and they found some notebook on the ground that fell out of his car that had some crazy pink writing about witches or somethin.

Holy crap batman! At least you're not hurt, you would be dead if the car was coming the other way. I hate red-runners too... I still remember when my mother and I almost got rammed by two idiots racing school buses down the street. [:@]

dang man. Sorry about the car, but the primary thing is I'm glad you were not hurt. Sounds like the situation could have been worse.
You made a good choice with the Ranger, it's an all around good vehicle to get you around.
Best of luck!

RE: Lost my baby...
What I'm wondering is, Why you only got 14k? Was the 14k from your ins or his? Seems like if it was his, they should have come up with more money. Seeing as you are without your baby and all!!! 
GL with your new search. You'll find one you can't live without. When I crashed my 94, I was set on getting a truck. But when I got to the stealership, guess what I saw sitting there. Yup a purty red pony just begging for me to buy it!
