    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Oh, so let me guess, your supposed to be some great driver that has never had a wreck or nothing go wrong. My luck finally ran out, I've been driving this road at this speed for about 3 years now. If you ever drive over 100 and you do it fairly regular, your luck will run out eventually whether...

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    I guess you can take me out as a possible buyer of your car. My mom is buying me a 4 cylinder and hoping that my dad wont let me drive the 5.0

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    I have never driven a 5.0 vert. The 99 handling was superb compared to my 5.0.

    That newer v6 will handle a curve a lot better than my 5.0. Give the car some credit, it is slow as hell but it will handle a curve pretty decent.

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    1. Mom is never letting me drive a car in her name again. 2. Lesson definitely learned. 3. Parents are rethinking the 5.0 situation, but maybe if I can convince them that I have learned from my mistake I will get it back instead of some small 4 cylinder car they are talking about.

    It was just one bad tire. Some shop told her it was bald because of misalignment. The other 3 tires were in pretty good shape. But again, she told me that there was a bad tire and to be careful, so I had it coming to me.

    No no. There is no excuse for my careless behavior. I take full responsibilty for this. I thank God that I'm still alive, I guess I'm still here for a reason.

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Maybe because he was black:bang: . CVS Pharmacy is near the hood and I thought some drug dealer was about to kill me to get my car.

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Yea, this is the fourth time that I have nearly died in the last three years. I got hit by a baseball in the eye- have a metal plate now. I got hit in the head by a baseball bat- scar for life. I got jacked by a insane black guy that I thought was a drug dealer, but it turned out that he had...

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Yea it is a very slow car. I had it up to 120 before I wrecked it. No, I turn 18 on the 11th. No speeding tickets and one reckless driving that got dropped to an improper movement. First wreck that was my fault. Trust me, the lesson was definitely learned here.

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Its not a very sharp curve, its just long. I just went in it just a little bit too fast. If I would have cut in the other lane I would have made it-no problem. But I was scared of a car coming so i was trying to stay in my lane.

    It was a crazy ride, it was the first time I got to drive any mustang in about a month. My car-the 85-will not start, but hopefully by this time next week it will be going. It seemed like the wreck happened in seconds, but considering how fast I was going when I lost control Im glad to be here...

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    I was out last night driving my moms drop top 99 v6 when i did not get slowed down enough for a curve:nonono: . I lost control in the curve going about 90 and skidded sideways through almost the whole curve until the back right tire popped (baldness). It was a small curve to the left and when...
