Ouch.

Who was at fault?

Looks like someone was speeding, and someone wasn't totally looking before they pulled out. So maybe there's a little bit of fault to go around.

I pulled the fuck out didn't see him flying...they were able to drive away

I understand that it sucks when someone is going faster than they should be -- but did you look in that direction before bringing the car into the road? When you saw the car coming, did you just want to see if the Mustang could hold up to the impact? Was it a science experiment?

Sorry, just having a little fun with you. Glad you didn't get seriously hurt.

damn man, sorry to hear that ..

When did mustangs become 4wd?

They would more than likely fix that over here, looks like it is mainly panel damage.

Who said anything about 4 wheel drive? :1orglaugh

The silver one.

That blows. Mustang was gonna be my next car but too many potholes and bad weather here to enjoy a stang enough. Thinking get off the ground a bit with some larger tires= maybe Jeep Wrangler.

"The front wheel axel bent"

:2 cents:

well I dunno , the front wheel was bent, it could be fixed, will find out tomorrow

How old is that car? I don't hardly see any damage that would cause it to be totaled. In 1989 I took a 88' Beretta GT and gave the keys to a buddy and he hit a telephone pole at 90MPH going backwards (spinning mid air). The cut off to total the car was $10k and the estimates were all under 9k. After it was all said in done they put $13k into it by welding on a different sub frame Beretta to the back. The car was never the same and we sold it a few mos later.

I see about 4-7k in damage there if the frame isn't bent. Upper and lower front control arms bend very easy and are easy to replace.


Glad everyone is OK

yeah if it's something minor go ahead and fix it, but if someone really fucks me up I'd be kinda hoping it's totaled or adding some additional dents of my own as shit will never be the same. :2 cents:

Don't think that's a write off,will once again be a nice car

that shit will buff out, come on!

Haha, my first car was an 88 Beretta GT. Dark blue. I hit a phone pole as well and the car wasn't the same after that crash either.

my 1st car was a 68' Camaro. I loved that car but I was young, dumb, and full of.. opps wrong analogy. :1orglaugh

Yeah the beretta's were quick with the v6's but didn't handle worth a crap.

All cars have 2 axles

An axel is something a figure skater does :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Learn to automobile :2 cents:

It was a copy and paste, hence my use of quotation marks.

Learn how to grammar :2 cents:

So you still didn't explain where you derived that his Mustang is supposedly a 4 wheel drive. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I was thinking along the lines of drive axle, fronts are hubs/spindles to me however you are correct, it is an axle, hub axle.

Damn! Sux ass.

FWD would be more likely than 4WD :2 cents:

That's fuck all damage... Used door, used front fender, hammer out the rear fender, some suspension work, new used wheel, alignment... I don't know how much that thing costs over there or what year it is, but it's not much damage.

just hope it's totalled > get insurance money > get a charger. Those mustangs are ugly as fuck.

looks fixable to me new tie rods and lower control arm it is steering. What front axel it is RWD you will be back on road.

you had lock this time.watch out

Hope she's fixable...2005 less than 90k miles, bought her new. :(

Strange - I had a Mustang GT with more damage than that to the front end - the insurance company fixed it up within a few weeks

That might get written off then, labour is expensive there, and those things cost like $10-12k in europe at most for a 2005

Oh man, that's one ugly scratch! :(

100% not totaled...

wooh its time to get brand new one.Glad you r Ok.

+1 I'm glad no one was hurt.

That's insurance fraud.

The Chicago Way :1orglaugh

Take it to the metal recycle, you'll at least get $1500..

If the insurance company decides to fix it, do not sign off on the repair until you are 100% satisfied with the work done and how the car is afterwards. Be sure to let the insurance adjuster know that you will not sign off until you are 100% satisfied, and dont let them try to be tricky or pushy about it. It's your right to be 100% satisfied with the repair, you do not have to settle for mismatched-paint or a car that drives differently after being repaired.

I hope that u still make some cash to pay the damages...

This happened to my mom. The insurance company decided to cut her car in half and meld it with one that was damaged in the read end.

It was never the same. Strange squeaks would popup. Rattles like a mofo. Alignment issues. She eventually had to sue them to get them to total it and give her the money. They settled out of court (AAA) and she moved on to a BMW.

Best of luck. Glad nobody was hurt. Since it's a 2005, they very well may total it out, given the market value.

I just went from a 2012 Mustang to a 2014 GT with a little Roush goodness. If they total you out, I'd definitely recommend the 2014, before they drop the 2015 Euro looking body style. :thumbsup

Good thing no one got hurt. That was a very nice car.

thanks and yes I'm glad

Sorry to see your car in such a state :(

We've had a smash in our skyline, the insurance said they weren't going to fix it, we blew our top & ended up having it fixed but with the insurance costing £8k of damages. Looked like brand new when we got her back though, hope you have the same luck :thumbsup

that looks totally fixable I would try to buy it back from the insurance company after its totalled and sell it to a rebuilder or get it fixed myself

you shouldn't try and tow huge pikey caravans with a grey import 1980's grocery getter skyline's with GTR badges :)

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Tis the real thing, so those badges mean something :2 cents:

Smashed her up without towing the caravan, yet always pulled a caravan faster down an autobahn faster than your motor on its own buddy :winkwink:

Still driving her now & looking like a stunner still :thumbsup

Odd, I've never heard a female refer to any vehicle as "her" before.

Post pics or GTFO.
