What a shame.....

[kaniSS]

As soon as I saw Mount Druitt youth + high powered car I said this is not going to end well.

[Citroënbender]

Yes. That poor pole!

[DJR-351]

Well that's one way to flush $70k down the toilet......

[Vesper Martini]

owch Insurance Void. 20 year old on Ps
looks like he was lucky to hit the pole head on, sideways could have been fatal..

[ozrunner]

He added his son was a safe driver. "He’s very patient, very quiet, very good," the man said.

But he left out he can't control a car when he fangs it in the wet .

[FTE217]

oh well, at least its not an old rare model.
Stooopid father allowing his 20yr old P plater driving it so new in the first place imo.

Which is probably a very quick response so his son will be charged with stealing it and daddy then gets insurance !!!

[Polyal]

Minor injuries? Not bad from a car with a "crappy" star rating?

[Bossxr8]

70K?

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that an R spec? The black stripes and black bonnet vents make it appear so. Over $100K then.

You may be right.

Green mirrors suggest its a mock up. All RSPEC's had black mirrors.

As for the dad and his kid, This is why Ford provide a MyKey.

If it’s technically uninsured (ie, not claimable) then it’s more difficult to write off.

[bangm001]

I was always allowed to drive my old mans cars, on my own from when i was 16 years old, VTSS, VYSS manual, VY Calais 5.7L, BA Typhoon, FG F6 etc from as young as 16. learnt to RESPECT the power and be smart about driving. Also never abused the privilege by doing burnouts etc and i must say every trip to the shops was definately the long way..

[X-AHH]

There's a pole waiting for every car, not just Mustangs. It's the drivers responsibility to keep the two from coming together.

Lesson learned? I really doubt it if the vehicle was just purchased just for the daughters wedding. The guy driving has no respect for his sister and father, let alone the car he's destroyed.

[BENT_8]

Kid wipes out new Mustang after taking it without consent, old man waters it down claiming the Son is an angel, lol.
That right there sums it up for me, no bloody respect for anything and why would he when the supposed authoritarian figure is an apologist.

Seems they deserve each other, just a shame the poor Stang paid the price for stupidity.

I won't describe the trouble we incurred for playing kick to kick inside the family room, breaking a pot plant, sticky taping it up only to see it drop 3 days later...mum went crazy...I cannot contemplate what we would have endured taking out one of their cars without their knowledge, let alone crashing it.

Whilst we were in the middle of building the family home in '88 i spilt hobby paint on the concrete floor in my room before the carpet was laid, never saw the stain again after the carpet went down, the scars the old man left are still very visible

Silver 5 Ltr Badge, GT Wheels, Body coloured Side mirrors.

I believe it’s a GT not an RSPEC

What he said. I missed that comment

[JasonACT]

I've had my 2012 FGII XR6T since new, and I've been in a lot of driving conditions over the years, in conditions like that (wet cornering) my car has pretty quickly corrected my enthusiasm and I've had my car tuned. Do the Mustangs have stability control that's been de-tuned or something? Maybe to give it more performance? I saw one try to do a burn-out in a car park once, it's back swung out and nearly hit another car, I thought there was no way I could do that (even if I wanted to, which I don't) unless I turned off DSC.

Even with the DSC & TC very much on, Mustang's are very tail happy. They take very little provocation to get out of shape and the DSC is late in attempting to gather it back.

An experienced and mature driver would allow for this. A 20 year old male? Not a chance!

[JasonACT]

Yeah, I get the young fella was going too fast, or didn't get off it at the first hint from the car's feedback. I was just surprised by what I saw in the car park. I've got mine out like that, off the public roads, with DSC off and the wheels turned slightly.. but I've seen other cars and drag racing too, wheels all straight, very little tail movement with the rears spinning, on non-Mustangs.

Probably weight distribution, I guess.

[Citroënbender]

I would love to see the RCM freeze frame data unpicked.
