ruined a beautiful car

**redline kid** · 12-27-2011, 08:18 PM

i owned this mustang since it was brand new. 11 years it never seen snow or salt, near mint condition with low miles, perfect interrior.

this past summer i decided to sell it to one of my daughters collage friends. he took ownership of it on aug.18th 2011, he was thrilled to own it, i took half the money from the sale of the mustang and went back to my Chevrolet roots and bought a 75 Monte Carlo..

2 days before Christmas i got these pix over my cell phone from my daughter

it just is amazing how it only took him 4 months to ruin a beautiful car, i figured he was old enough to be responsible with it but i guess i was wrong, he lost control of it while running it hard and smacked a tree,, luckily he was not hurt,

Well at least he didn't borrow the car from you

One accident doesn't mean he ruined it. Even people who take care of their cars have things happen. BUT, if he doesn't plan to fix it and just let s it go, well then he needs to be killed. If anything happens to me or I ever sell the T/A or Satellite, I will be asking for references from any prospective buyer(my buddy already knows to do this if anything happens to me). I did not put all of the time and effort into the cars to let some douchebag destroy them. I'd have them crushed first.

Wow.... Now we know why an insurance is little high on younger people..

The car is certainly not ruined. I don't think its too hard to find parts for that generation of mustang and all the damage appears to be cosmetic. As long as your daughter's friend plans on fixing it, I don't think you have to worry too much.

As my Dad would say..it's now been Christened.

On a board note..why would we have to scroll side to side to see your full pictures, when there is a useless red border on both sides here?..and an utra wide margin on the left containing the names and avitars?

I had that problem with Firefox. I ended up shrinking the view of RLOL to fix it.

some of you guys missed the point of this post,, i know the car can be fixed but the fact of the matter is he ruined it inside of a 4mth period and it was not an accident,,, he was being careless with it ,, and an up date on the car itself its not just cosmetic damage, the front end of the car is shifted 5 inches over and the insurance company told him it will cost more to fix it than its worth,, so now its going to be parted out,
