We have a Mach E and a Lightning and we don't let out kids drive either one. I bought them another car to learn to drive in just for that reason. I'm glad everyone is okay and no significant damage.

Yes, the irony was that I had been shopping for the past weeks for a Focus hatchback, and then figured we could go out into the country without any issues coming up. Nope.

Live and learn. I'm interested to see how long parts take to arrive.

Glad everyone is ok.

Might want to check on eBay, there are some parts starting to trickle in there if you search deep enough (although Ford didn’t do us any favors by naming it the same as another truck that has tons of parts available)

I totaled my mom's 1990 Lumina when I was 16. Slid through an icy intersection because I didn't have the experience to expect hazardous conditions in cold weather.

Unfortunately, your daughter's fender bender probably cost more than replacing an entire car in 1996.😬

Hopefully this is a good reminder to those who are not as dumb as me. Daughter panicked and then hit the gas, not the brake.

Thankfully all cosmetic damage except the air dams.

That front end looks just like mine. Glad she's ok. Fyi, my estimate was $10.5k CAD [just realized you're a homy as well]. See pic below of my damage:

I'm still waiting for parts through insurance since Feb 9th. Lots of parts are backordered in Ontario.

That sucks; I hope you’re not without it for very long.

What’s those things on your crossbars? Four bike racks that fold down?

I’m a firm believer everyone should learn to drive on a 5spd 1990 Mazda Miata.

1) Go ahead, try to get in trouble with 80hp to the wheels.

2) Go ahead, boy or girl, try to get in trouble in the back…

3) Go ahead and panic. It’ll likely just shut itself off.

4) 99mpg…I think…does it even have an engine?

5) No need to worry about crashing it in the snow. It’ll be exactly where you started it for the next 5 months.

The most important thing is that nobody was hurt.

I hope your daughter isn't feeling too badly about the accident . What an awful way for a new driver to build their confidence behind the wheel. There's not as many young people of driving age nowadays that want to get their driver license.

Glad that no one was hurt.

Looking at that... that could have been a LOT worse!

Glad everyone is ok. Hopefully the bill isn't too bad.
