Well guys I haven’t even owned my very first Mustang for six months yet and have only been on here less than a month and now I think it is totaled. I ordered my Black Premium 4.0 Pony Package straight from the dealer with every option I could check in the book.
Yesterday was my only day off this week and I was doing some work around the house when I decided to take a break for lunch. I was waiting at the intersection for my light to turn green. Once the light turned green I proceeded across the 5 lane intersection. About halfway through something caught my eye outside my passenger window; it was the front end of someone else’s car. Some old fellow blinded by the setting sun stated that he never saw me or the light, he never braked or anything.
I actually felt bad for the guy. I guess because he wasn’t some young kid speeding through an intersection instead, he just had trouble seeing. Doesn’t make my situation any better it just makes me feel bad to be angry at the guy.
I guess on the bright side I haven’t invested a lot of money on mods to loose them on a jacked up estimate. The only bad thing is; I have never seen body work bring a car back to its original condition. There is always different paint colorations over the years and most of the time things never line back up right. The difference is that guys that do custom work take pride in their work as if it was a rolling advertisement of the craftsmanship. Most run of the mill body shops just want your money and to get you in and out ASAP.
So with that said if anyone knows in their opinion the best in the western KY area let me know. This isn’t coming out of my pocket and I want the best working on it.
Thanks for all your support.

RE: Totaled
sorry to hear that. just check out some of each of the shops work. ask to see some repairs in progress and ask if they have any recently compleated and give them a good look. if the shop says they cant let you in the shop tell them you dont want them to do your work. also when you find a shop stop buy every couple of days to look at what they have done. good luck
