unless the chassis can be straightened out
That looks bad. So sorry to see that. Must’ve been horrifying. I’m also very glad to hear that you’re fortunate enough to walk away unharmed. That’s the main thing. Really sorry about the car. She was a beauty. Very sad ending but just remember all the good times and fun she brought you.
Gonna be hard reliving this unfortunate event, but try to shake it off and focus on something else now. Like other things and projects you can get into. Or, selling the parts to good homes or even your next car.
Hope you hang around The Forum and don’t fade away. You can sell parts here and still provide valuable information and feedbaxk! So please don’t go!
It would be nice to find out who is responsible for that tire. Sue the crap out of them for your loss. There needs to be consequences for irresponsible people like that.
Hang in there. Keep your chin up and go find that bastard!
ERRRRRRRRGH!

Right, I'm glad I made it through. I'll live to have another project. Not that I don't have some already!
Thank you.
Yeah the car definitely got the worst of it. I'm thankful that she took care of me. Thank you.

I feel the same. I've looked at the car lots more since then. It sets in more and more each day. Still tough to see the car like that. But yes you're right, there are more!
Ugh I see it all the time too man. Unfortunately this one was unavoidable.
I appreciate it! Not sure I'm ready for another SN just yet. I need some time to think it over. I'll have plenty of time to sort it out as I tear the car down.

Definitely, thank you.
The more I think about it, yeah it's hard to believe I got out with no injuries. Not even whiplash.
Me too! I've got a few others here at the house already. I'll have to give them some love and think about what's next.

Thank you. And yes I'm very thankful to be here. It looks like the drivetrain and rear suspension are in good shape, so there's something to work with.
Thank you, at the end of the day I'm glad it was the car and not me.
Still, thanks for taking the time. I figured everyone here should know.

I appreciate that, and yeah we were just chatting about your new car! I have a lot of great friends and good memories because of my '95.
Ford Mustang GT 4.6L V8 Engine CUSTOM - cars & trucks - by owner -...
Clean engine and interior, still runs and has been well maintained over the years. - Custom Grey Finish - Custom Bullitt Wheels - Custom Lights - Custom Engine: - Screamin' Demon Coils - HPS Intake...elpaso.craigslist.org
Looks good. Tbh my paint was never great, so I would definitely want one with a good paint job.
I get that, I've been thinking the same way. I did gain a lot of knowledge because of this car. That will certainly help on the next adventure.

It was all over so quickly. My only thought the whole time was, "wake up". I had no idea that the car went so far until I walked it all. It'll probably be a while before I drive that road again.
Thank you. At the end of the day I'm still here, wrench in hand. And yes, I think there will be plenty that I can salvage.
Definitely, I agree. It's tough to get over the fact that I lost the car but it could have gone a whole lot differently. Thanks on the hood. The vent is from C2 Aero. It's the factory hood with the extractor installed. Did an outstanding job keeping engine temps down in the summer.

Im sorry you experienced that, glad you are okaythat is all that matters. I would strip as many salvageable items from the car as you can. Get another one and continue the journey, I wouldn't even consider parting it out yet. It had so many usable parts
Thank you, yes I'm happy to be here. I think the first step will be taking it apart. There's certainly no saving the chassis but there are plenty of parts that would go well on something else!
Thank you. It's tough thinking about the memories! There were many good ones and excellent friends made through the car. I have pictures of the car everywhere and it's hard to know whether that's making me feel better or worse.
It might take me a while to get back into the swing of things, or even catching up on the build thread. But I'll give it some time.
That looks really good! Yellow has never been my color but damn, seems like a great deal.

he does have a point. Buy it back from the insurance company and with the money left over, make improvements!

That is a possibility! But I think this is it for me.
So I learned a hard lesson this time around, I just had basic coverage on the car. The next day I went for a Hagerty policy on my other cars.
Yes that is the plan, and thank you!
I agree, it was tough to see it that way at first. But that is the truth. Thanks!
