Today, I finally finished restoring a car after working on it for 6 months, so I took it out for a drive. On the way back, I stopped at a red light, but the drunk driver behind me didn't. FML
A07 tells us more.
Hey guys, I'm the OP. It was 67 mustang fastback and I was driving it home from the workshop late at night. And to all those wondering, no the car didn't survive because the asshole was driving a truck, it's sitting in a garage but I don't even know if I'm going to go look at it for a while now.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I do hope you are okay and that he got arrested for drunk driving. Remember this could have ended way worse, he could have ended up killing someone. Good luck with re-restoring your car or getting a new one!

That's ******* disgusting OP, I hope the ******** gets everything he deserves. I'm so sorry about your car, hopefully you'll sue the dick for enough to buy another '67.

Here's hoping for you to get some sort of money or parts for the car. Or for the drunk driver to have to pay for everything

-sheds a tear- Such a tragedy to see a beautiful car get smashed like that. My younger brother restored an 80's Shelby Charger, but it was totaled in an accident only a few weeks after he finished. = Good to hear nobody was hurt, I would assume you'd have mentioned that if that was the case.

Bro this is Pakistan. How the hell was someone drunk. Alcohol is illegal.

I hope you both have insurance...I was recently in a (luckily very minor) accident where the other guy ran a red light, but he was driving a rental car with no insurance so he lied his ass off to the rental company. No witnesses stopped so it's my word against his as to who ran the light.

My dad owns a 1967 mustang fastback and I know how beautiful that car is! I want one myself once I can afford it because I fell in love with it at a young age. Hopefully it gets nursed back to health. It might take some time, but at least you're safe OP!

I'm so sorry to hear that, OP. Both my dad and my boyfriend's grandpa had '67 Mustangs and loved them dearly. Hopefully you can buy another, although I know it's not the same.

My god hopefully you took legal action against the driver and the poor poor beautiful car. I have no words to express my sympathies hopefully you will be able to drive her around again soon

Oh, Jesus, oh, lord.... why, oh, why a 67 fastback? I'm a Mustang fanboy and I clenched my jaw in agony when I read your follow-up. I'm so sorry, OP. God, especially in Pakistan! Must have been a bitch to get all the parts.

This sort of reminds me when Gas Monkey had their 'Stang hit by a van with no insurance. Sorry your money went to waste after some careless idiot wrecked it.

I'm glad you're okay. I've heard some horrible stories involving drunk drivers. It sucks the car was destroyed though but your life is more important.

Jesus Christ did you at least catch a license plate or did you catch the guy in general? God I can't imagine what you'd be going through, did you suffer any damages to your own body though?

OP, this is genuine FML.

No shit, Sherlock.

Hopefully the insurance pay out is enough to help get you started on a new project, OP.

i really hope he got arrested at least. I know that wouldn't fix the car though. :-/

Nobody has asked the most important question. What make and model car did you restore?

Because the OP already answered at #32.

How'd you get a '67 Mustang in Pakistan? Must've cost a fortune.
