Re: The end of my 2004 Mach

your a better friend than me, because I'd be pissed. Like so many others I don't ask to borrow cars, nor do I lend them out.

Re: The end of my 2004 Mach

On rare occasions, I've allowed friends to drive one of my cars. Most are much too careful to really let it all out. Others refuse to even try driving it.

If you allow a friend to drive your car, you must really trust that person. I doubt that your friend feels very good about the accident. A shame about the Mach 1, but walking away from a totaled car is a plus.

Re: The end of my 2004 Mach

Funny thing

I have let my 18 year old cousin drive my 11GT with me along in it.
I have also LENT My car to Andy who some of you have met he took it to the prom 2 times.

I have never had a problem with any of this.

But I would not let my 40 year old cousin drive any of my cars or my motorcycle. only because I know the younger dudes respect the car and understand they could never pay back if they screwed up.

My older cousin has had some perfomance cars when he was like 20 but has not driven anything more powerful than his lexus suv. The problem is he still thinks he can drive the heavy stuff but has not been behind the wheel of anything more than 200 hp for the last 20 years.......And he knows he can pay for his mistakes.

So he is 100% more likely to try to run the mach to redline at every shift and trying to get it sideways in which case he would never remember how to pull it back in line.

So Thats kinda reverse logic on who drives your cars.....

Re: The end of my 2004 Mach

Thanks everybody for your comments. Insurance will pay off what I owe plus give me a bit. not enough for another car right now but enough to start saving. Fortunately no one was hurt. We hit the tree going between 30-40 mph. My buddy stepped on the gas a bit more than he shouldve in second gear and the wheels spun turning the car slightly toward the shoulder of the road. right after the car turned the wheels hooked and we went offroad onto wet grass and down an incline picking up speed and hit the tree. he didnt "hit it" to race he was trying to get a feel for the 4.30 gears. he had been behind the wheel all of 5 min and we had just turned onto the road from a stop sign. from dead stop to the tree was maybe 50-60 yards....i think. we hadnt gotten onto the main road for more than a few seconds. going from 30-40 mph to dead stop with no slow down is reflected by my crumpled car but when we hit the tree the impact wasnt real bad. like i said no injuries, no whip lash etc. I will miss that car though.


insurance would let me buy the car back to sell parts but they would also tow the car to my house and deposit it on the street....its too much of hassle and i dont think I could leave the car near a busy intersection out on the street while i tried to dismantle it out iin the weather. so i'm letting it go.

thanks again and ride on!
