Thumbs down may have totaled my 2003 Mustang Cobra because of a 17 year old kid!!!

I was driving home from dropping my girlfriend off at work, and some 17 year old kid driving his mom's minivan driving way too fast slid through his flashing red light at a 4-way intersection and right into my lane causing me to t-bone him. I'm sooooo pissed that because of his stupidity, my car may be totalled...I have to wait to see if the engine is ok. If it is, they'll probably fix her, but if the engine is damaged, it's a total loss. I should know by friday latest what's gonna happen. I can't believe the stupidity of people sometimes. I'd post pictures, but I can't.

Cool

Glad you're ok, which is always the most important thing.
Hate it when that happens ... makes you want to kill someone sometimes.

Hoping for the best.

Thanks all for the well wishes. They pulled the engine and transmission out today to see where the antifreeze is leaking from the rear of the motor and they said in the crash the motor hit the firewall so it could be the intake manifold that shifted a little bit. I'll know for sure if she's totalled tomorrow . I really hate waiting on this. I loved this car soooo much. I don't want to give up on it now.

That sucks, guess your stock blower is messed up too then huh? Nothing else to do but make his insurance company replace it with a Kenne Belle lol. Seriously though, hope everything turns out alright.

That really blows, to say the least. That car of yours is my favorite. [03 or 04] I hope all works out for you in the long run.

thanks again all. I'm still waiting to hear if she's totalled or not. Now they're telling me Monday is when I find out. I hate this waiting game...I just wanna find out so I can figure out what I'm doing. Definitely going to buy another terminator but I'll probably save up some more cash over the winter and look for one in the spring. BTW, blower's not damaged at all, but I'd love to get a kenne bell anyways lol. I wish I could post a few pics, but I know it may disturb some viewers and piss off others.

Why would people care about pics of your car and why would you care if someone was offended by them? Its not like they are fictional, its not like it is racist, sexist, or bragging brand loyalty? What happened to our freedoms. If things bother me, I go the other way, why tell others how to live. I say post 'em and screw the haters!

Well, I couldn't believe it when I heard it but they're going to fix the car!!! I'm hoping to have her back in a few weeks. Thanks for all the support and comments.

In my eyes (been hit 4 times!!!! no engine damage though) that stinks. I was pissed that my insurance company insisted on fixing things. I was upset because the resale value took a huge hit the second I got hit and had to report it. Part of me wants to sell my '99 and buy another with a clean record but the other half of me is not willing to eat it when I try to sell it (I don't think I would get what I feel I deserve after taking good care for yrs).

Anyway, I was upset, but that's me....as long as you're happy at the end of the day!
