Well here goes. I own two 1999 Mustang Cobra's. One is over 400 hp and the other is stock. Normally i drive the 400 horse Cobra on Friday and it spends its weekdays in the garage bay. Well i was in a awesome mood when i woke up Monday morning so i jumped in the Beast and let the stock car rest for the day. All was well on the way to work but on the way home it was raining like pouring piss out of a boot. I stopped at a red light and i just happened to be the first car in line, well a Pontiac Bonneville came in from the other side of the intersection and i guess she didn't see the red light, she got right to the light and slammed on her breaks and when she did that the car veered in my diection so I tried my best to take off to keep her from plowing me but the tires just spun. She slammed the driver side front fender and pretty much took my driver side front end off the car. At first i was so pissed i thought i was gonna lose my mind. All i could think about was all the work that I had put into the car and how proud i was of it, just to have it snatched away from me in one quick swipe. But then i calmed down and really thought about it, and realized that she made an honest mistake and i myself could have done the same thing. It was an honest mistake i guess. But anyway the Insurance guy came out today and (god was looking out for me on this one) he was a Mustang lover as well, so he said that since my car was so sharp and had obviously had a ton of work done to it that he wouldn't total the car out. The damage is $8000.00. New hood, fender, bumper, driver door, driver side header, battery, radiator, radiator mount, headlights, new Cobra emblems, Driver front rim and tire, break rotor, caliper, and undetermined front end work. But I pulled some strings with my buddy at the body shop and when i get it back it'll have the Cobra R hood and front bumper. So atleast i get something out of the deal. Thank god that the bent header didn't damage the head. And yeah i'm ok, but i'd rather be lying in a hospital bed and get kicked in my nuts twice a day than have my damn Cobra torn all to hell. The other lady was fine other than a shattered nose that i wish had been from my fist but it was from the steering wheel, and she had minor cuts and bruises.
