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 escaped from the hospital. And now this.

Yes...v6+vert+auto=SLOWEST STANG EVER MADE

Never have done this, never will do this...

Glad your ok, even more glad you didn kill anyone else. Lets hope when your 85 is back your not dumb, and go out and kill yourself or worse someone else.

Also I have been out of Mustangs for a LOT longer than a month. Thats hardly an "excuse" to go fast. Being young and dumb will kill you, so Id say smarten up really fast!

Jeez guys take it ease on the kid. It's not like he was driving drunk doing 120+ or something!! Has anybody on here seen the curve he went through or anything?? Unless you have I don't think you have the right to tell him he's an idiot or stupid or was driving completly wreckless or anything. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of you do close to 90mph at least once a day, and I bet a lot of you have done much much dummer things behind the wheel. Although I will admit that it was not the wisest decision to be driving that fast in someone elses car, even if it was your moms.

Maybe I was thinking a little too inside my bubble. I live in Chicago and if you don't do at least 80mph on any highway you'll get frickin run off the road.

3 lessons to be learned

1) Mom shouldn't lend car to son anymore
2) Son will learn to slow down a little
3) Parents should maybe rethink letting their son own a 5.0L

Theres a HUGE difference between doing 80 on a highway where traffic is also going 80, and doing 90 into a 35 mph curve in the road. He readily admits it was too fast, and the car was not able to handle it (bald tires).

I HATE when people say we have all done dumb things like this, when how do you know what I did. I personally have never wrecked a car, never curbed a car, never even come close to doing anything like that. I rarely hit 80+ mph and when I do Im on a highway that I know extremely well, and there is noone around. On the 35 mph curves in town, youd be hardpressed to see me going much faster than 40-45.

Hes lucky he didnt get hurt, and lucky to have an udnerstanding parent. Use this as a way to make sure you never do it again for the rest of your life!
