spun and wrecked

Yes, mine slides too, until i put the 4X4 but i've only put it thru go thru rivers by me, I tend to drive it in the rain with just rear wheel drive since i'm use to the mustang, but I do keep 3 stock rims and tires in the bed covered to help alittle.

Handles great overall, and those guys are just douches, I reported them to an admin over there and hopefully he'll lock it and tell them something too.

I have no idea man, fill me in.

I think you should have checked out and see if the frame is bent and how much you would get for it totalled or shredded in metal, I have a feeling that the impact of the trees, might've bent your frame, any different in driving aside from the donut? Just curious, never been in a wreck so I'm not sure if you could notice if the car was driving bent.

it's bone stock exhaust, one of the two bolts broke so now the exhaust exits right before the muffler.
about the frame, yeah the rocker panel bended and the trunk went in, but trunk is not a problem. the only difference that i noticed is that it knocks on a take off. and feels like it rubs on hubs when it lowers. i'll show it to my mechanic as soon as i can. probably this thursday.

did u find out y the carpet was overlaped vlad and ur exhaust sounds sick haha

Subject: Re: spun and wrecked Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:58 pm

yeah thats not too good, yeah that might be why its overlaped unless it just moved with the force of impact which can be possible.

Thats good, keep us updated and drive safely, more rain this week i believe on thursday

i'll take a better clip of exhaust tomorrow.
the floor is bended, i knocked it with my fist, it it feels like a solid hub. so i'll go to my mechanic on thursday to lift her up and look from underneath.

i brought the car to my shop today to lift her up. the floor is bent but not that bad. i was lucky the car didn't explode. the bumper bent in and bent the fuel tank, and if it moved 1/4" more, it would rip the tank. the knocks are from the Y pipe that bent and jumped off the rubber hangers, and it rubs on drops because the pipe is hanging a few inches from the ground. i will probably fix it, and finally put my flowmasters, that have been laying in my trunk for a few month.

I would see what the Insurace company would give you .. and see if you could see it/junk it for scarp metal and see what you can get there. If you can fix it for less than what you would get then fix it ..but if they will give you more then get rid of it .. good luck with everything Vlad!

Since the end of the year is near look into donating it. I did that about 7 years ago, put 130k+ miles on a Ford Escort and the dealer was going to give me $100. Instead I donated it, claimed it on my taxes and my check was $3500 more than the year prior (list price was around $4000) Very Happy

Maybe you can find someone to give you a clearer picture of what to expect. Good luck either way nice

No they don't give you anything, that's why it's a donation. Your Mom can donate it then, submit the reciept, and she will get the extra money in her income tax refund check. If I were you I would call an accountant and ask. Good condition Kelly Blue book has your car at $2k

***btw past tense of bend is bent not bended - but thats not the issue here...***

vlad, if the floor board is damaged, and you have those creases on the quarter panel that means that the whole car is twisted outta shape. I STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend not fixing that car.
#1 - it will always be bent no matter who fixes it for you and it'll be a ticking time bomb.
#2 - mustangs are very unstable from factory, and its almost undeniable that what happened this time, will happen again in even lighter conditions with a twisted chassis. And we all know that safety is before all.

Try to part or junk the car, and look into some GT's. They are really affordable and deff more reliable and will have a lot more potential than any 6. You know that tho, no need for me to blaber anymore about it.

FYI - Serg's car is really nice n quick too, and I think that he might even sell it if you talk to him. (dont take my word for it, im not saying the car is up for sale but i know he's mentioned something along those lines in the past - i dunno how serious he was thats why DO NOT rely on what i said)

Didn't mean they give you that amount it's what the value of what they sell it for and they give you a receipt for it and mostly what they give for it is $500 is what I meant to say depends on the place you give it to.

i donated my 1995 manual cavalier in 2003 with a spun bearing. It had 60K and it was absolutely immaculate, and i mean this car looked brand new.
I got $250.

You mean miles wise? I would look for one with 100k or less miles on it. It's an 8 cylinder so you can expect it to last for while. My first had 100k when I bought him and 101k when I totaled him..this one was 76k when i bought him and 84k now i think. Running stong. I can't give you an exact amount of miles but if the car is well taken care of I wouldn't doubt mid 200ks. I could be totally underestimating them though. Correct me if I'm wrong guys
