just when i thought it couldnt get worse, i was driving to work last night,my left front tire blew out, & i slammed into a guardrail shearing off my front end! aahhh,then this cop is in my face, asking me if i was drunk at least 5 times, i usually respect cop's but this moron didnt get it after i answered him ,NO 5 times, then the wrecker co.slams me with a 175.00 tow bill not counting storage. geez sorry i just had to vent.

OH NO!!!
Not your pretty stang..me sticks out bottom lip... Are you OK? I assume you don't drink, from your reaction to that stupid cop. How is Odie? I have been out having really severe headaches..migranes, caused by STRESS, I was at home monday, and John came in and asked me, why are you bleeding out your nose? I don;t know what to do. I really can't afford to go to the doctor, cause I have no insurance.. Don't mind me, I'm just scared.. We wanna see pics of the car when you get em. OK? Take care, and talk to ya L8R

Man that totally sucks! I remember when my car got hit, I was really upset and pissed.
The main thing is that you are ok, you can always buy another mustang, but it's kinda hard to buy another body. |

Owch!
Marty:
Sorry to hear about your accident and car damage. It happens to all of us but it stinks all the same. At least you didn't hit another vehicle and no one was injured. The cop sounds like an idiot...a breathalyzer test would have answered his question if he really thought you had been drinking. Obviously, he didn't or he would have made you take one. Just being dense, I guess. Glad you're O.K. and hope the 'Stang is easily repairable with no serious damage - just sheet metal and plastic. BTW: Were the tires bad or did you just hit a nail or something? |

wow marty that really sucks. I hope u are ok. Are they going to fix the car or u going to get a new one. Insurance is really going to go sky high. My dad wrecked his 2000 mustang and all he needed was a new hood and his insurance jumped way up.
Hey email me with ur address I lost it and i will mail off those 2ID patches that u wanted.

I hate to see these posts pop up, especially on the cool members of this site. I know things have been going like crap for you lately, I hope the car can be fixed. If not, you can always get a Cobra ? Best of luck, Kell |

Marty, just think of it this way: we all have good luck and bad luck, but in the end, it all balances out. That being said, you might want to think about going to Las Vegas pretty soon. A landslide of good fortune must be heading your way!
I'm just happy that you're okay. Cars can be replaced. Friends like you can't. Take care, -Chris

Yeah, these types of posts strike a nerve of gut wrenching agony (along with the "My stang got stolen", "Someone keyed my car", etc posts). Man, I'm glad you're alright.
Hopefully insurance will take care of most of it. Sorry to hear that dude...

I'm sorry to hear that Marty! I hope you're doing well!
Wrecks are horrible. I wrecked my car last August and it absolutely blew ***. But, like everyone has said, all that matters is that you're ok. The car is either fixable or replaceable. I replaced my car. And maybe, just maybe, it was meant to happen to me. Because I'm going to end up with a car that's better than my coupe was! Maybe it'll turn out the same for you! Good luck, Marty! I hope things turn out the way you want them to! |

I couldn't have said it any better then u did Chris Marty, man that really sucks. I know you have been having really bad luck lately but it always gets better. I had a bad december 2 car wrecks (1 my fault, 1 wasn't) plus i got forced out of school by the vp(ended up for the better cause now i ahve the money to pay off the stang which means i will be getting it fixed now). The insurance company will take care of you though and it will be as good as new. Marty with 3 blow outs in a year i would start looking for anwsers. What is with ford and their tire selections anyways????????? JAMES

Marty.
Hello Crazy Horse, I didnt see this thread till today. Dont know what were I've been. Sorry to hear about your accident man, I know that had to be a fright. Glad to hear you escaped serouis injury. The car can be repaired or replaced. I know this is not what you needed at this time in your life, but hey, it only makes you stronger. Hows Oddie doing? She doing okay? She seems like a tuff cookie, and is probably doing A-okay. Your a pretty tuff one to man, so I know you can hang in there. No doubt about that. If it makes you feel better, Monday, I almost ran through the Perimeter fence at work with the Ford L-8000 Yard tractor. I about caught my pants on fire with a cigarette, and mashed the gas. Opps..Then applied the Air Parking brakes, slid to a stop, jumped out and began to beat against my mid section while my pants were smoldering. I'll have to post that one in better detail one of these days when I get a chance to.
