Platt & Payne special.

Engine bay is nuts, but by the looks of the rest of the car, no thanks.

What it looked like, and the recent damage. Stinks that it was ever damaged. Coming back with CS bumpers front & rear. Still trying to figure out what to do about wheels, they may have saved some damage in this case but I don't like how they broke apart. Rolling it out on factory polished bullits, trying to find good looking, 18x10's with a lip, preferably clear big brakes for the future, non-replica, relatively cheap.

Ouch, how did that happen?

Ouch, how did that happen?

Heading to the Mustang club show that I did a ton of detailing for. Around 8:15am, drive half a mile to the highway. Coming up the onramp, see a Black Lincoln towncar in the left lane, no other upcoming vehicles. I put my blinker on and started merging into the right lane, I am about half a car back on the Lincoln when they move into the right lane, no blinker. I jerked the wheel right to avoid, cold tires the back got loose. Thought I was getting it back, but it 180'd passenger side first, and I hit the center Jersey barrier with the passenger side, facing the wrong direction. Car would not start, probably fuel switch. Got out and went behind guardrail, stood on the rail trying to warn other drivers that my car was stuck in the passing lane, and was hidden over the small hill crest.

Really stinks, but I'm ok and things could be worse. It's at a good shop, they put their best guy on it... and they understand how anal I am about the car (I was there tues, wed, thurs, fri, mon.. today is the first weekday they haven't seen me)

 

[Croft]

Oh dang........sorry to hear that. Did the guy stop?

 

[Shotokan1509]

Oh dang........sorry to hear that. Did the guy stop?

No, I don't think they ever saw me.

 

[Croft]

Damn....................well, she will be like new again!

 

[SonicBlur]

No, I don't think they ever saw me.

If that driver was younger than 65 I'd be surprised. Those MF'rs are always driving boats and yet can barely see over the steering wheel. No turn signals either.

At least you're okay. Your car will be fine.

HEHEHEHE, also ALOT of people have done ALOT of changing to their Vista Blue's out there so lets see what everyone has now these days!!!

Yep, it was fixed.. some things changed, went CS bumpers front & rear, added teh SHR honeycomb lower grill insert (for now, might switch to black billets eventually). And the 2010+ Roush 20" wheels with matching size rubber all around vs my old staggered 18"s
