Put these mud flaps on this morning...ordered these from the dealer. Not cheap but thats the style I wanted.

 

Much better than the ones with the profile of the chesty woman.....

 

Man I'm dory yo hear that, glad shes OK.....

 

Like these Rosie O'Donnell flaps!!

 

 

So what were the circumstances?

Looking like a total, huh?

 

Definitely totalled, car is worth maybe 12k, has more than 30k in damages


She came out of a long sweeping right hand turn, jumped the curb, took out a lamp post, and a tree. Spun 180* and flipped 270* at the same time. We believe she fell asleep during the long sweeping corner and never straightened the steering upon exiting the corner

 

Glad she is ok. All to often we see this stuff on the news and don't think about it. When it is someone close......worst feeling ever

 

Glad shes ok Patrick!

 

Long day yesterday. Did a round trip to ft worth area and back. We kept having to dodge storms from Interstate 20 up to ft worth. One storm in Eastland kept following us and it was right on our bumper it seemed for a good 25 miles. BIL was calling me to say it had golf ball size hail. Having 2 of our vehicles following each other i sure didnt want to get hail danage to both. Thought for a minute it had caught us but we slipped away
little black dot is us on radar



Then we decided to grab a bite to eat late last night in Lewisville and another was headed our way, we ducked under a QT along with about 30 others until it passed.

This little edge really impresses me. Filled up in Angelo and cruised 75 to 85 sometimes bumping 90mph then the standard ft worth traffic and i took this pic in carrolton after we got there. Just cant beat it for what the vehicle is.



We finally filled up on 15 gallons at 410 miles with just a hair less than a quarter tank after going back through the metro plex and idling under the QT waiting the storm out came to 27.7 MPG hand calculated.

 

Went to look at a '94 Thunderbird that was for sale near me this afternoon. The car had 29,000 miles, was garage kept and in pretty nice shape overall, but was more of a "driver" than a car that would "wow" anyone at a show. Oh well, guess I'll keep looking for something that piques my interest.....

 

Ive always liked those year T Birds! Dont Really see many of em running around anymore. Think 94 was the first year of the 4.6 and a refreshed front end.

 

Yeah, I'm torn -- I like the body style of the '89-'93 models slightly better.

However, the '94-'95 models got the 4.6 and an electronically-controlled automatic instead of the clunky old AOD.

The '89-'93 models also had those godawful safety restraints where the shoulder belt went up and across you automatically along the A-pillar.

I've kind of said to myself that the first one (regardless of body style) that really "wows" me from a mileage and condition standpoint is probably the one I'd go with.

 

Very impressed that the drivers side and passenger side windows didn't pop.

Really glad she is OK.

 

I guess that is kind of surprising -- you'd think from sheer impact they would have broken? She sure f'd up that Toyota though.....
