    r3v

    So, dirt roads have big potholes. Big potholes, if hit right, can yank your steering. Three of them in a row, hit just right, equals pain.

    Think it's reasonably repairable? I'm thinking the usual front end stuff (radiator support, bumper, fenders, etc.) but I'm worried about the right side fender structure. Think that'd be too much to salvage?



    Best I've got right now. Disassembly for further evaluation begins tomorrow.

    From what I can see right now, subframe is undamaged, front end suspension is still aligned correctly, motor is not pushed back or damaged at all.

          Why is there a bulge in the windshield? TELL me you were wearing your seatbelt.

          Have you made a purchase from www.blunttech.com recently?

                          I put my hands out. I have bloody knuckles all the way across. Next time I won't do that.

                          Was going 45, hit the potholes, probably going 35 impact.

                          I have been on that dirt road so many times before, but this time things just went awry.

                              No, braced myself against the wheel. Which was a stupid idea, because bracing my arms like so REALLY hurt my shoulder, and made it possible for the extra pressure of being thrown forward too much for the wheel, bending the steering wheel over a good bit. I stiff armed the SHIT out of that windshield... with my fists though. I'd hate to think of how much glass I missed cleaning it out of my knuckles, I can't imagine how bad it'd be cleaning it out of my palms.

                              I have no headache or head injury of any sort, so I couldn't have hit with my head.
