My girlfriend and I were coming home from church on Sunday afternoon when it happened. It was raining pretty steadily. Just about to cross over a bridge, going from a one lane onto a two lane. There is a one or two inch asphalt lip that you run up onto and I think the rear end hopped a bit and swung around. I countersteered to no avail. Did about two 360's while at the same time crossing the median. I saw a pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction...right in my out of control path. Our rear ends collided hard, swinging him around and popping me up onto a curb. Cracked the front wheel in half, destroyed the passenger side rear quarter and broke the gas tank filler tube releasing my 15 gallons of gas. None of us were hurt thank God. I don't know what to do now. I know the insurance company won't give me much on a 10 year old car and will probably hassle me if I ask for all my aftermarket parts. Anyone with experience in this? :bang:
 
Dude, that sucks. I'm glad you are all OK though. I've been planning on getting an "agreed value" plan from my insurance as I'll never get back what I have in it if I were to wreck it. I know you can get them to cut you a check for what they feel it will cost to repair it, and then buy your own aftermarket parts, but this takes a while from what I hear. Good luck, and nothing else I'd see about buying it back and then either salvaging what you can and put them on another car, or parting it out. If you part it out let me know at [email protected]

that sucks man. its goot to hear that you guys are ok and everything. Hopefully you can get a lot for you stang. Are you planning on getting another 94-95?? If not would you mind parting with your tri-ax?
 
That suck to hear that but thank God everyone is o.k. that's more important then the car (I think). I'm intrested in the c&l mass air and 65mm TB. Pesonaly if it's not worth saving let the insurance take it but minus the mods. My buddy did that with his fox a few years ago the insurance company picked up pretty much a shell of a stang and never said a word about it.
 
A stang is dead.

Sorry to hear about that. Damn, he hadnt even heard from the ins. company and you guys were already hounding the guy for parts. :nonono:

Interested in that Kirban FPR. [email protected]

Gland that your ok and that neither you or your girl were hurt. Sorry about the stang as well. I find it ironic how you just left church and the all mightly lord decides to take your stang from you
