Jesus, that's a nasty one. Glad you guys are alright, pretty scary. Make sure you get checked out! I was in a bad wreck, and 3 months later they figured out my neck was severely fractured.. Hopefully insurance does right by ya and you can put this behind you. Good luck!

AAA Has done wonders for me in the past and I have every bit of faith in them!

Really didn't want to make one of these but I was encouraged to make one and share it, so for anyone feeling generous feel free to donate to help fund the accident, any donations would be greatly appreciated!

A bit of an update.
Been speaking with my sales guy at the dealership, he said he's got a car lined up for me already I just gotta show up with the money to pay the taxes and title fee..
That being said, this is what he's got on hold for me...







Only has 50k miles too..

Seems like a clean car to start working with. I hope you didnt decide settling just to be back in a stang Jones! I remember in September you were telling us your dream car is the 03-04 Sonic Saleen. (One of my favorites personally.) Maybe this could be the chance to find one? Would hate to see you get "stuck" in something your not 100% "bonkers" over.

take some time to find the right replacement or you will be sorry in the end. Don't just buy the first thing the dealer shoves in front of you.

Can't say I understand the whole crowdfunding accident stuff. It never occurred to me to beg from strangers after my accident.

Lol on the bright side the lady who hit me is 100% at fault.

Dealership has given me a couple vehicle options 1. 2006 Mustang GT 5sp or 2. 2008 Infiniti G37S Coupe

Posted on my Facebook last night my list for Project Faleen and got some heat from a couple friends who apparently think it's a waste of time and money.

As some of y'all may have seen on the project's section I posted my Project with list of parts I have lined up for my build. After adding up everything last night I posted it on my Facebook and didn't take long before a couple friends thought it was absolutely stupid.

One person said "Why don't you just buy a real Saleen for the same price you paid for your car and the amount of money you are about to put into it?"
My response was simple, I want to build something that I look back and be proud of my dedication and effort I put into it. Reason why I picked Saleen was because it's always been my dream car, ever since I was a little kit the Saleen was always my favorite car. When I picked up my Sonic Blue GT I saw a perfect opportunity to make my dreams come true.


So that being said, do you guys think making a clone is a waste of time? Not that anyones opinion is going to change my mind because I'm going to do it either way because I want to live my dream.

Serious question here guys no BS.



^ That was one month ago.

If it were me in your shoes i wouldnt settle for anything less then a 1998 BAB Cobra. Id travel out of state to get it if i had to, I love my car. You can essentially say i have my dream car..dont you want yours? Why are you so set to take anything this dealer wants to throw at you?

I'm not set to take anything the dealer throw at me, I'm keeping an open mind right now. Maybe once I get my settlement I can buy exactly what I want and have the car I'm about to buy paid off and turn around and sell it. Everything is still up in the air right now

I have always liked the g37s.... The sport model has a LSD and akibono big brakes.. Sounds nice too..

But that porno red interior :shocked:

I would personally get a newer vehicle especially if it is daily driven and financed. Saleens are nice but the value will tank tremendously with added dd miles...

Exactly the G37S has more miles than the Mustang and has retained value better. I do love that red interior but I remember those seats being harsh on my back, with my back being ****ed up from the wreck it's going to be a given that those seats will give me problems again, those G37 seats looks so comfy. For the money the G37 just offers way more

Well unfortunately the dealership sold the G37S last night but found out they got a 06 Chrysler 300 SRT8. Even better!! Went and checked it out, had some ugly ass tail lights and wheels but that can be changed.
