denohew Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Backed into my tall curb and dented one of my exhaust tips. Been 3 weeks and obviously the part # does not exist yet! Still waiting for a Ford rep to get one pulled from the factory. Haven't read about anybody damaging their car yet. Ya'll just being VERY careful or am I the only one? Somebody is bound to have cratered one of these cars??!! Any pics of crashed 2010's yet? I remember when I got my Ford GT back in '05, I found a pic of a dealer who center punched his NEW GT into a telephone pole with less than 20 miles on it! I will try to find the pic. That car needed a new frame! Sorry for the silly post but I am kinna bored! denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bad day!! Been watching the front end ever since!! But not the back!!! denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Gorilla Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Sounds like a good excuse to get a new set of aftermarket mufflers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denohew Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Good advise!! Has anybody absolutely totaled one of these cars yet? Haven't seen a thread if so?! Then again I would not be proud but humbly post pics. denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denohew Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hey Baby Gorilla, nice color choice! Same as mine. Wish I had ordered a Grabber Blue with Red though. Waiting for the order banks to open for the 2011's! denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpmurr Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 +1, the stock 2010 mufflers are pretty quiet. Not as quiet as the 2007-09! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6-Speed Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Not as quiet as the 2007-09! When I heard a 2010 a few months ago, it sounded pretty quiet ... just as quiet as my 2007 when it still had its stock mufflers. Guess I just grown accustomed to my KR mufflers.

cbr1000 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The first day I drove my first car legally I backed out of the driveway into the neighbors mailbox across the street. '75 formula firebird w/ the factory dual hood scoops, black with a mailbox scratch on the trunk, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I almost curbed a rim parking at work early in the morning....I was still half asleep. And the first week I had the car, I almost pulled into a parking spot with a curb in front..there was a sudden moment of realization of the chin spoiler on my new shiny car. WHEW! I considered myself extremely lucky for getting out of both situations unscathed. NEVER will happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I've already repaired a curbed rim and smash the chin spoiler on the underside daily. I LOVE that it isn't painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
