I chopped off a electrical pole... Be safe in your stang people. Life is a gift and it can be taken any second. I realized that after this.

Hmmmm... Was that a New Years accident? Was drinking involved?

Sad for your car; glad you're ok.

No sir. This happened Sunday. I would never think about drinking and driving, especially in my baby.

I wasn't paying good enough attention to the road and I was about a half mile from my house and decided to turn down the subs so I wouldn't wake anyone up and I looked up and there was a raccoon in the road.. I didn't even take time to think and I swerved and it was all gone from there. Very stupid mistake I know. I cried watch her go down the driveway on a wrecker.

That sucks man, I would cry. You have insurance? Cus if you do, brand new car isn't that bad. :P

That's why my parents always tell me that if something is in the road (animal, old lady, etc.) just to hit it and not swerve so I don't flip or snag a pole or end up in a ditch. Chances are whatever was in the road shouldn't have been there anyways, and having a wrecked car is better than being dead.

Hope you get her fixed up man, same age same car as me, hurts to see what happened cus I know yours was your pride and joy just like mine is to me.

The main thing is you are OK....cars can be fixed or replaced.

A lesson here to everyone to drive smart and be safe on the roads.

I do have insurance on it, and they're paying me what I paid for it new plus the tag and such ($24,000ish). But I'm not sure how much they're going to go up on me (I'm 17 so I'm expecting alot). Also, my dad would rather I have a pick up or something a bit bigger but I'm going to do anything I can to get another one.
