blue92 is toast

[blue92]

Ol'blue bit the dust yesterday, so I'll be lookin for another MTX SHO.






:cry::cry::cry:

Someone ran a light leaving me nothing to do but hit them.

Thank God for subframe connectors, body didn't twist and still is straight from the fire wall back. all doors still open, sunroof still works.

 

[Toolman]

That is quite a hit Don. Sounds like you escaped without any harm, thank goodness.

TT

That's horrible. That's exactly what my Town Car looks like...

 

[icemaneric]

That sucks big time. Hope you did not get hurt.

 

[ManySHOs]

I hope that you are ok. Was anyone injured or hurt?

Are you buying the car back for parts? It looks like you put a lot of work into it; powdercoating, new AC lines, etc. It would be nice if you could transplant some of it into your next car.

Good luck!

Don, glad you are ok. SFC's saved a friend's life in his mustang. If you don't have them, go get them.

 

[Kens1992mtxSHO]

Wow, what an impact that had to have been. Glad you're OK

 

[BlackonBlack89]

Wow. Good thing ur ok.

The car did its job though.

 

[shospeed]

Hope that you can find a car that can leave up to the Blue 92

 

[blue92]

replacement for blue92.

 

[shoshirtsandhat]

Glad you made it ok! SHO is strong, What make was the other car or truck?

 

[Racer X]

Don, any accident you can walk away from...

Blue92 did it's job in protecting you, as it is with all of these cars.

All the same, sorry to see your 92 go, it was one of my favorites.

 

[thecrew2999]

do you still have your foot???


if so why didnt you break it off in their ass?

also pull the motor at least from the car... looks solid still
please don t let another SHO engine waste away in a bone yard.

As soon as I get it all ironed out with the insurance company everything I can swop off ol' blue will find its way to the cracker including the powder coating. The engine in ol' blue was on it's way out anyway it was loosing compression on the front head and starting to smoke pretty badly. It had 190k on it cracker's engine only has 140k on it, other than brakes the rod bearings are going to be changed.

The day of the wreck while the EMT dudes were checking me out I fainted so before the cops got to the accident they rushed me to the hospital. Since the day of the wreck I have been waiting for the police report so I could move forward on the buy back of ol' blue. I know what I saw but I didn't know what the cops decided. Good news they saw the accident the same way I did and apparently there were 2 witnesses also in my favor. The insurance adjuster is supposed to call me tomorrow.

 

[SASHO91]

Damn Don, that really sucks! But I'm glad you walked away from it in ok condition. Looks like the new SHO is a keeper though. Did Tony give the new car a look see??

 

[gas it]

Them Taurus are strong cars.

 

[hawkeye18]

Holy crap! That's a heckuva wreck. Did somebody pull out right in front of you? I'm glad you're ok!...

Yup, my gen 1 t-boned and flipped a jeep. Still drives to this day, and the jeep...........well you can assume what happened.
