Yup got into an accident on friday. :damnit: Some idiot lady in an SUV that looked like a small monster truck decided that the stop sign didn't apply to her. I ended up hitting her broadside, in the drivers fender. Put a small dent in her fender, but I think I bent up her suspension a little bit buy the way the tire was pointed when it was over. Of course the passanger front of my car is all cracked up. New fender, bumper cover, lights, and hood are on the short list of parts. 
I guess this gives me an excuse to paint the whole car, but im still pissed. Im thinking im gonna go with a small cowl hood and some smoked headlights, and stick with the lx bumper. Or I might go and drive the car into a tree a couple times before the insurance people come to look at it. 
this lady's insurance is taking their sweet time, my weekly phone calls dont seem to speed things up, but when they get their act together, I will be up to a hard decision, do i take and spend the $2000 to fix a car that was in a front end collision, and end up prolly spending another $1000 before im done, and end up with a nicely painted 4cyl car with to many miles or take that cash, and save another 2 grand and put a fat down payment on a 99 or newer stanger. i think im leaning towards driving her through the nice buffalo winter, and moveing on come spring time. She rides fine, and i fixed the lights and slightly pulled out some of the damage, but I dont know if i can bring myself to spend that kind of money when it could get me a third of a way to a car thats maybe 6 years old. 
decisions decisions.......
Suddenly, the 2.3T swap looks soooo much better then a new car. My car ended up being totaled and I got a check for $1400. not what wanted at all, but theres nothing I can really do about it. I did a little research, looked into 99+ mustangs, v6 and v8, apparently according to the posts on the boards here, both cars stock get about 20mpg 
, some less some a bit higher. I dont really trust those numbers, but figureing that, the v6 car is apparently a total dog, taking a crap load of money to just scrape the HP of a stock GT, and the GT is going to be on the low side of the gas mileage and high side of insurance, I'm not sure I can reason myself into buying either car. What I can definatly talk myself into, is striping down my car, and busting out some body work myself. If I do keep the car, which it is looking more and more like I will, there will be plently of body work pictures to come.
