Hey there.

So 8 years ago I had a 2006 Mustang, then traded it for a Civic, and now I'm back To Ford with a 2016 Black Mustang GT.

I picked it up my new Mustang last week, and it's met and exceeded all my expectations. It's a great and fun car to drive, specially coming from a Civic. Well 2 days later, I'm at a stop light and the car stopped behind me decides to go before I even move and bumps right into me. Thankfully there was no major damage, just some scratches to the plastic and paint chipped off the bumper. I'm already dealing with the guys insurance so hopefully it all works out for the best.

Just thought I would share my story.....

That stinks, only 2 days old! Someone bumped me at a stop light a little while back. Luckily i saw them creeping forward and I started creeping forward to counteract the bump. I pulled over and the douche tried to take off, so I chased him down, but luckily no damage after I got him to stop.

Some people are so careless!

Thankfully dealing with the insurance was not as painful as I thought it would be. So pretty soon my car will be back to normal. Although part of me will feel like it been tainted forever haha.

10 days after I got my brand new '15 Mustang, my mom backed into it while exiting the driveway. She forgot I'd bought a new car and was not used looking behind her when backing out (we have a long driveway so she normally backs up on the driveway until she gets to the main street before she starts looking).
