I have seen some posts of people's accidents and seen how tough this truck is. I have had mine for 6 years and put 126,000 miles on it, today was just another day with another reason why I love my ST.
I was driving down the freeway in the middle lane and traffic started to back up. I slowed down from about 60 to about 50 to match the traffic ahead of me. All of a sudden I could feel the impact, the back of the ST came off the ground and shifted left slightly. A split second later, the rear-end came back down and I need to correct a little. At that point, I look up in the rear view mirror to see a 70's corvette spinning out behind me. I don't know how he didn't hit anything else, but he spun to a stop and then met me on the side of the road. His corvette went under the ST, all because he wasn't looking. He mentioned that if I didn't stop, he would not have known who he hit. Both of us were able to drive away, no injuries, just his car looks pretty bad. (fiberglass corvettes) His front end is messed up pretty bad, the ST just has some scratches and a hole in the grey bumper cover. The ST is such a strong puppy and I have always loved it. It has proved to be a reliable fun loving vehicle, and now it has proven how safe it is.
I hope to fix it real soon and get ready for the next 126,000 miles on it. I took some pics with the cell phone, but I just got the phone and I don't know how to upload them yet. Stay safe out there everybody.
