Default Bad night

I'll just leave this here.




Avoiding a wreck and ended up in one of my own. Nailed a pickup so my frame just went under the bed and rammed the engine block up into the firewall.

Thank God for full coverage and crumple zones. No one was hurt.

Shut down I-35 close to downtown Dallas for awhile.

Currently eyeballing a green 06 GT 'Vert with 89,XXX at 10 grand.

R.I.P. Dinah, best year of my automotive life so far.

I can fix it. My Dad has this ultimate set of tools!

Just kidding. Glad you are OK. Cars can be replaced.

Yeah, I'm not giving up on my Mustang habit.
Just under a year, actually. March...

And yeah, that 4.6 eats truck bumpers for lunch. Sturdy little beasty.

Hope they'll let me grab my 2010 taillights and sequentials.

Speaking of, anyone want to buy some slightly used black aluminum louvers? :P

Glad to se you are OK. A car can easily be replaced, you cannot. Pride may have taken a hit but you will be back with another Mustang. Sorry man.

If all goes well, then this time next week I might well be in this.



Wants $13,000 but I'm fairly sure I can talk him down with cash in hand.
