Default Redemption

Hey everyone! My name is Gary and I m from southern california. As you know the drivers down here are absolutely nuts, so my 2006 Pony Package Mustang ended up being one of the casualities. I was cruising around the internet looking for information on the 2011, and I found this mustang board to be one of the most active ones out there.

I know most people post a pic to show off their hot Stang since we are proud owners. I once was a proud owner until a 71 year old decided to do a U-Turn from the far right lane cutting across on-coming traffic. I happened to be driving in the left lane going about 45MPH and had no time to react. Basically the guy did a cut block on my car.

As you can tell, the cops were like WTF and gave me their condolences

Heres my last moments saying good bye to it in the junkyard

Needless to say, the insurance settlement was on my side. I am just waiting for the perfect moment of redemption and picking myself up a 2011 MCA edition (black of course) stang. I can probably do without the stripes on the sides.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone
