I've Had Better Days...

No damage to front end, bumper, etc?!!. You, sir, are lucky!!

Nothing, according to the mechanic who looked at it. Just some scrapes to the mufflers and a new alignment.

I'll be keeping an eye on it for a while, though.

Damn! Sucks that it happened but thankfully it wasn't too bad.

I had anxiety reading it! Years ago in my 94GT I had a ladder fall off a trailer in front of me and by sheer luck it stayed straight until I passed over it and then it started spinning.

Yow! Glad you missed it!

Sounds like the "Mustang" Gods were riding with you that day. I am happy to hear no one was hurt, and no major damage was caused.

Yep, the spirit of Frank Bullitt himself. What's a ladder when you can jump hills?

I was a Cop for twenty years. If you would like, I can tell you about the scores of people I saw who were killed in auto accidents; including children?

Perspective brother..., perspective!

As someone who’s on the road a lot for work, I always try to leave an escape route . But sometimes you just can’t. And isn’t that when these things always happen? Glad you, your wife and the Bullitt are OK Cap.

Reminds me of the time, 15+ years ago, I'm driving down the interstate, convertible, with the top down . Cement truck is up ahead, and a flat shovel flys off if,doing cartwheels 50 ft. in the air. Managed to avoid it without being decapitated.

When I was under the back of my Bullitt checking out my fading exhaust tips I noticed a 'black box' with some electronic and other connections behind the IRS. I'm guessing it's the controller for the active exhaust, but I thought 'Wow, that thing's pretty exposed.' Is your active exhaust working?

Sometimes it just comes down to shit luck, many years ago I was following behind a car towing a horse float. All of a sudden a piece of wood flew off the tailgate of the horse float and came spearing through my radiator like a javelin, all I can assume is the horse did one almighty kick inside that float.

The black box is the charcoal canister

I wasn’t a cop for 20 years but I was one for about 4 years. That’s probably one of the reasons I didn’t stop and let the pile up happen behind me. At least I hope so.

Thank you. I don’t know if the guy next to me thought he was doing me a favor by blocking my escape route but things are ok.

I run in “My Mode” which has the track exhaust set. I haven’t noticed any difference. Would there be a fault light of any kind?

Your tips are fading???

I’m sure it was easy to explain to the insurance company.
