Default New guy off to a rough start.

Hey guys, I'm new here. I've visited in the past as a guest, but never joined until now.

October 2nd, I bought a brand new black 2014 Mustang V6 Manual transmission, currently named "Jess".

I've been modding it lately, a little bit for all aspects like a strut tower brace, a completely new exhaust, and a little bit of exterior, such as the GT/CS Spoiler and Rear Window Louver from AM.

The Rough start from the title is what happened November 8th, when a lady in a Toyota minivan ran a red light and t-boned my baby. Luckily, it was minor-ish damage and no frame damage, so she'll be back up and running very soon.

I'll post pics when I get her back. As for now, see you guys on the forum.

We aren't certain, but we can guess she was on her cellphone.

She's looking at around $8k (from two Thursdays ago) in repairs.

I'm like 20 minutes East of the center of Marietta. Though, next year, I've transferred to a school up in Indiana.
