my stang is totalled
was driving home from work and hit a patch of black ice. wrapped it around a telephone pole last night. the damage is quite severe.
the right rear wheel came off, with the axle still attached to it. the right quarter panel is mangled beyond repair. the hatch is twisted really bad. despite the frontend still being straight, the doors do not shut or line up to the rear of the car anymore.
the air bags did not go off and i made it out alive with 8 stitches to my face. my right eye struck the rear view mirror and shattered it during impact. my shoulder hit the windshield and i was basicaly sitting in the passenger seat when the car finaly come to a rest. i estimate speed about 40 mph.
witnesses say the car spunout about 6 times but i have no memory of this.
no body else was injured.
i will be purchasing another 5.0 in the spring
