I've heard of "Ford bashing" on this forum, but this post takes it to a whole new level.

I guess that gives new meaning to Fix Or Repair Daily. Hope the driver is OK though.

This was posted some time ago. Believe it or not but the car had less than 250mile on it when the inexperienced driver lost control.
Maybe next time he should buy a Mustang GT, instead of a GT.

He hit that pole sitting right in front of where the car is parked. His speed was less than 35mph.
You can tell by the oil dry, antifreeze and some motor oil from the cooler sitting around the pole and a few pieces laying there as well.
