Default Crashed the Mach!

Today I crashed the Mach. Basically A person in front of the car that was in front of me stopped really fast so it was a chain reaction. I rear ended this old Ford Explore in front of me. Thing that sucks the driver of the Explore all of sudden says his "back hurts' the Cops knew he was lieing so did the Medics. But since i rear ended him it's my fault. My mach needs a new front bumper. Headlights, and fender. Also the Hood was damaged in the front only a little so I don't know what to do about that. I have never seen a mach 1 hood for sale before. What a ****ty day.

**** happens man it aint the end of the world, and thats what insurance is for. depending on how much this guy tries to milk you may end up having to think about hiring an attorney.

as for the mach1 hood, check forums for car partouts (corral, svt, modular fords, etc... all have huge classified sections). also mpsautosalvage usually has machs (they have one right now, but the hood is damaged). their prices usually suck though and they want damn near retail value for used parts off a crashed car, but you can probably call them and make an offer.

Here's a pic from yesterday. I am not sure if i should repair the mach or sell it now. Somebody offered me pretty fair money for the car. $8500 Cash. The mach has 89k as of now.
