Whilst scoping out tour roads with vsg914, and 73bajared, I came into an off camber corner too hot. and lost it big time. I'm afraid the tub is bent beyond repair. Drivers front wheel, and passengers rear were on opposite sides of the ditch. The other two were in mid air. The engine was still running. You could walk under the car. Both front tires were blown. Passenger side tie rod is bent in a U shape. No pics of the car actually in the ditch, just after the fact. Wrecker driver said he fished a highway patrolman out of the same spot one week earlier. The large chunk of 8' thick concrete on the right. was moved 4" by the impact.
Do we have a crash smilie? Several pics to come The crash site Attached thumbnail(s) |

That is traginc news, the good thing is you are ok, You can rebuild and make a better one and another one after that, If you would have been hurt, that would not be the case. Sorry to hear of your loss. I will bow my head in a moment of silence.
