It was over the phone he only had the unapproved estimate, I am pretty sure the belly pan is included looks like its damaged. I told him I want to see the approved estimate with the detailed part numbers sent to me before they start repairs.

WOW love it, that is awesome.

Would have to file through Caltrans since it was on the highway. And based on some limited research I have done, they would only be responsible if there was construction in the zone and that debris struck my car. In this case it was a piece of metal that probably fell off a truck and was being...

I got to find a good picture of the stock oil cooler to see where the part number is stamped to make sure its the OEM one.

Just got off the phone. Looks like the upper splitter, lower splitter and the transmission cooler were the only damage as expected. All parts are new OEM since they can't be found used or aftermarket :like: The invoice now is at around $3,700 and pending approval. I let them know I want to...

Sounds pretty normal to me. My M1 since new does it sometimes (hot day on a incline most likely). My previous 14GT did it as well, got worse as I approached 120K miles. This will happens more as your clutch wears out or contamination or warping/glazed surface from slipping it too much . Could...

Sorry to hear, Best wishes. Hope you get great deal on it.

I understand. I am not worried about the difficulty, i worked as a mechanic helper for Ford in heavy line department in my early 20s and I always do my own repairs. I had mistakenly thought this would cost me good amount out of pocket and I just didn’t want to deal with it right now so i decided...

Nice, I have used ALLDATA before. But I just looked now and it seems to only have a general Mustang manual? so probably doesn't have one specific to the Mach 1. I will save this.

Wow, I was planning to pull it apart and inspect it after. But you are right, after I approve the repairs I will ask for them to show me the new parts installed before they put it together.

:thumbsup: Yeah I get it. Now I am just waiting for the new estimate to see how to move forward. I am leaning towards having it towed home to do it myself.

Thanks for suggestions. I will keep these in mind, they are pulling it apart already. So once I get the new estimate I will either tow it home fix it or pay the difference if I have to.

Also I want to add, Tow truck service was terrible as they usually are. They brought the regular hook and chain one, I was like hell no. Send me a flat bed. Waited nearly 3ish hours side of road. I should have used my AAA instead of the one by insurance, that was my mistake.

True. I am not worried about this increasing my premium. I was not at fault as it shows on my claim. I guess I will decide once they pull it apart, to see what parts they are using. If anything I will have it towed home when apart and fix it myself depending on cost. Also I am aware it will...

I hit a sharp metal object that pierced through my bumper into my oil cooler. Seems to be the transmission oil cooler. I made a claim and it’s at the shop. I have made it clear I want new OEM parts but these insurance companies always try to go for used / aftermarket based on my policy. Would...

two words. Active Exhaust. I can't comment on other systems, there is tons of good setups. But the stock Mach 1 exhaust with no resonator sounds amazing to me. Loud on track mode and quiet as it can be when needed for late nights/cold starts.

GT350 chassis is overrated. You want the better Mach 1 chassis. :giggle:

Yeah they are full of shit as usual. The two times I went on vacation, my car was sitting for over a month and it started right up. Either something is draining it or you have a bad alternator. Check the voltage with a multimeter while running to see what it puts out. Should be about 13.5-14.5...

No Typo, I do some spirited driving but I don't do burnouts. I guess I got lucky.

hmm interesting. Maybe I got lucky.
