sitting here tonight, i get a call asking if i'm alright ??
the caller(a good friend), just saw a red/white destroyed on a road in my general locale.
i assured him and the next three callers, that my red/white was safely asleep in the garage.
i went to the location of the accident, and sure enough there was a 2005 (1202?) on a wrecker, in very bad shape
from what i gathered from the shaken up driver, the gound was damp wet, a mustang came up along side of the gt, the gt driver went to shift from 5th to 3rd, but instead went into 1st, and the rear end locked up, and the car spun around in a circle. the front end smashed into a massive road railing, and the rear 1/4 hit the same railing when it spun around.
from what i could see, almost every panel and seam on the vehicle that is not destroyed is out of out of alignment.
the driver claimed that the gt belonged to a friend of his who had just got it recently as new. the owner lent the vehicle to the driver for the weekend.
i took some pictures, but i'm not sure how to post them(any suggestions would be helpful !!!!)
sorry to report this, but maybe it will help the next owner if a similiar situation presents itself(wet pavement-speeding-shift pattern)
