Bad news.

Today I got into an accident.Luckily noone was hurt. I was making a left turn when I saw nooone was coming but I was mistaken and I couldn't stop in time. So the fact that I was turning left it was my fault and I got my first ever ticket. I couldn't even believe it alll I could do was cry and say my car. I called my dad becuase I didnt' know what to do and he couldn't understand me through my crying. I got out of the car and the police entered the scene I was currently in the middle of the road sideways with my license plates and headlights all over the road. I dropped to my knees in the middle of the road screaming my car!!!! The bumper was hanging on by a thread and the whole inside of my engine was showing through the cracks. The tow man cut my bumper off and the car was towed. I got one picture before it was towed away.



Hopefully it can be fixed.
There was basically no damage on the other car except for a dent.

Like you said,no-one was hurt.As far as the Cougar,that's just a flesh wound.Easily fixed.Gather the parts,a little paint,good as new.Just watch those left turns.LOL.

Cars can be fixed, people not so easily. As long as the frame isn't bent it can probably be fixed easily. Sometimes shiznit happens but don't worry things will be taken care of.

I just saw a grill,headlights,and a driver side corner light on Ebay.There's also a whole Cougar like yours (except it's white) in new Jersey for $500.00.Not bad for a whole car.

Like I said,just a flesh wound.Replacing the header panel,bumper cover and a fender (maybe some lights) is easy stuff.

Samantha, First off we're glad no one was hurt...and as for your Cougar this forum will be the best place for you to locate those parts you'll need to repair it back to good as new. LOL ;)

Sam, that really bites...I'm glad you're okay though. Doesn't look to be too badly damaged. I know it looks horrible now, but just a few parts and you'll be back in business again.

Wow. Glad to hear you're ok. The kitty took a good knock in the nose but she'll be ok too.
 
Just be more careful behind the wheel. We don't want to lose you like that.

I'm almost positive I have some Cougar lights in my garage somewhere. If I find them you can have them. Sucks about the car, but atleast everyone is fine.
