I hurt my baby on thursday. Stop light was red and i was way back in the pack. We all started moving, I looked down for a split second to change the station on my radio. Looked up and the beautiful 01' GT conv(black) in front of me had stoped. At 20mph I must have slit 12-17ft before running into the back of her (thats got to be some kind of sin) But who would have thought(not me) that the 01 plastic bumper shell, would hold up better then my 35yo steal. Cause all she got was the paint take'n off of her bumper, and i lost my front valence, front bumper. Not to mention it pushed my radiator back into the fan, so radiator supports are shot. Damn'd brakes and 3yo tires(that are hard as rocks). Forgive me everyone for hurting a brand new stang(the lady i hit)

ouch, sorry about that...amazing how quickly that can happen. I messed up the front on mine once in much the same fashion....taught me to keep better tires on the car though
