First Mustang, 3 weeks old, just got hit
Hi, I am new to the forums. Just bought my first Mustang (V6) on August 1st.
Well my car is 3 weeks and day old and some guy just backed into it. I am absolutely furious. I was ready to kill the guy but i gave him a break for the simple fact he came in and got me.
i really look forward to chatting here, sorry about my first post being like this but i am pretty mad and i needed to vent.

thanks! yeah i got his information but i just hate having to go through the hassel of it all. not only that but this weekend, i was going to take some pictures so i could post them on here, and now i gotta wait.
i don't understand how this guy didn't see a big silver car behind him. at least he was cool enough to come in a find me.

yeah, it's minor, it could probably be fixed without having to go through insurance.
it's funny you said that becuase i have been looking at putting dual exhaust on it. (now keep in mind, i have no clue when it comes to cars) i would have to get a whole number bumper right so it would fit the second exhaust? i am clueless when it comes to this stuff.

You'd have to get a GT bumper, but the GT and V-6 have different front & rear bumpers(have a little extension at the bottom) so to make your car look right, you'd need the front bumper too. Although I've seen V-6s with the dual exhaust running under the stock bumper and it doesn't look bad. BTW last Christmas, I got "tapped" by a teenager in a lifted Toyota P/U(following too closely) and she
caused 5K in damages(Just look like a pushed in rear bumper to me-deck lid/tail lights weren't even harmed). I guess the parts and labor(took it to Ford dealer where I bought car) and the fact it took nearly 5 weeks to get my car back contributed to the high price, luckily her insurance gave me no hassle whatsoever and offered physical therapy compensation(I believe in karma, so I declined).
Hope you get this all resolved soon, I know what you must be going through[:@]
