Well the stang is totaled, gone. It was my best friends birthday yest and I let him give his mom a ride in the mustang, he dropped the clutch too soon after revving it up and shot into traffic. I wasn't in the car. So my buddy ended up in jail until 2 this morning for reckless driving, he wasn't trying to show off, he had his 50 yr old mom in the car. I cried for hours, my dad bought it new....

not sure right now, everyone was conscious and ok, but the driver of the other car went to the hospital to get checked out. My dad and I gave the passenger of the other car a ride home and she was fine. My friend and his mom are ok.

Dude I can't describe how much I'll miss the car, I had seriously planned on giving it to my son, I babied the thing. Time to look for a roller to swap my **** into.

You can part some stuff out too for money. Wanna sell your seats? J/K

Your next one will be nicer! And there still pretty cheap so get one before they go up in price. Your dad sounds like a pretty cool guy, I'm sure he'll help you out someway.

Glad everyone's ok but, never EVER let anyone EVER drive your car unless you KNOW they can handle it.

Everyone being ok is the important thing. It sucks about the car but you'll find another one.

Well actually luckily the jeep deal fell through so I will actually be rockin it for awhile. I haven't decided what I want to do. I might take my settlement and buy a bike or buy a roller, so many decisions....

Good luck. Try to bump them for as much money as you can. Reciepts for everything you put into it will help.

wow man, that really sucks. Im really sorry to hear that. Thats exactly why I dont let my friends drive my cars. My one friend almost crashed my car into a tree without me in it. I hope the best for your next car. I say get a roller and keep the foxes rolling.
