What kind of condition were the tires in. Worn vs. new tires makes a huge difference.

^I was going to ask the same thing. Here in Western NY snow, sleet, rain & high winds are to be expected more often than not. Most important thing on your car here is your tires. You have bald ones in any of those conditions you're essentially in a 1.5 ton sled that is almost impossible to control. That said, even if your tires weren't bad, with enough standing water or even if the road is moist enough, you were probably quite remiss to punch it anything over 4 grand. Or to punch it at all. Don't worry, we've all had our mistakes, I've totalled a car myself doing something stupid (when I was 19 as well). Now I have a better appreciation for the scope of what can go wrong, and am a 10x better driver for it. Hopefully it'll do the same for you. Most important thing is that you didn't get hurt, cars can be rebuilt/scrapped or whatever, lives cannot.Comment

Forgive them Brian, for they know not what they say.............Originally posted by 25Horseplay View Post
This thread is a becoming collection of prejudices against youth and Mustangs! Good thing us young Mustang owners are secure in our own self esteem. LOL (40 IS young, right?)
BUSTIVA - Awesome picture of the Festy! I always thought a WRX scoop would be perfect on a Festiva, and your car proves it. Is that an aftermarket scoop or an authentic Subaru take-off? I was considering installing an aftermarket WRX scoop from Summit and painting the scoop and center section of the hood flat black. I think it would look good on my metallic blue Festy.Brian

it's still a car man...Originally posted by ketchup View Post
Even if a friend of mine wrecked a pontiac aztek (ugliest car ever), I'd still think it sucks, because that's money none the less, no matter what the make or model.
Tough break man, good to hear you survived, and lesson learned right? Best thing i learned from my accident (Rolled a ranger twice doin 55...), is that #### happens. you gotta just recoup your losses and accept that it happend and be glad you got your health.-Tim
93 Festy L- Little Red
98 Ranger- The golf ball
92 Accord- The $20 car (R.I.P)

Its off my 02 WRX which was stolen. It's the only piece left of itOriginally posted by blkfordsedan View Post
. I threw it on out of curiosity and actually liked it so I mounted it. I think your idea would be really cool. Go for it! I think the 02-03 scoops look good, but a 04+ may be a little too big for my taste.
Oh and GTRFESTIVIA - We're just messin' with ya buddy. And we would all hate to see anything happen to fellow member.Last edited by BUSTIVA; 05-09-2009, 01:56 AM.'93 BP-T 57trim TO4E - Coilovers - 13x7 steelies - 175/60 - 48k mi

Wow...what's up with the hating? Perhaps it was a bad judgement, perhaps a bad patch of sleek road by chance. He just lost his car! I'd be really upset if I just crashed a Mustang. Im sorry for your loss man. I'm a Ford guy btw, Mustang's are sweet. Also, I'm confused about the post of the post bout what's gonna make you lose traction...in what circumstance is a wider tire gonna give you less traction?Comment
