Last night was a tad scary. My friend and I crashed on the freeway (yes, in my mustang). A couple of my friends and i were drivin on the freeway and my friends front right tire area hit my back left tire area (some body damage) and I spun out and flew sideways in front of him skidding across the freeway, then hopped the curb and kept skidding for a 100 feet or so. My mustang wasnt in too bad of shape so i think im gonna try to fix it. My car wouldnt start after that but i've heard things about mustangs having inertia switches of some sort and they cut off the fuel when stuff like this happens so i think i have to flip the switch and it will be ok. i believe my EGR was a little messed up too. The tube that hooks into my exhaust was hanging out the bottom kinda twisted. I'll keep you guys updated about the progress of the car.

The fuel pump cut off is in the trunk, driver's side. So if you ever get rear ended and have to drive away you know where it is. (I've been hit 3 times. Amazingly enough it sucked all 3 times!)

No, it was around a curve and i think we hit some black ice because while i was talking to the cop, another car came around the same curve and spun out and did a 180.

well, i got my car back from the shop. The only thing wrong with it was the EGR. it cost me about 70 bucks so it wasnt too bad. Now i just need to fix the body. I think thats gonna be the expensive part. Im estimating $1500-$2000 in repairs. I ordered new tires for it today because my old ones are shot. I got Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions. I'll Try to take some pictures of my car before i get it into the shop so you can see the damage.

That doesent look so bad at first ,but it is a rear quarter panel which is a bad spot to have damage.

best of luck with it.

Let us see some pics of it after you get it fixed.
