Morning Photoshoot didn't go as planned...

[SteadyAim.]

Woke up super early to take some shots at a new spot. Got there around 6:30, and took a couple of pictures.




Drove through and heard a huge scraping noise. Turns out I hit a huge rock and busted the oil pan. Couldn't see it since it was so damn dark! Called roadside assistance and waited 5 hours for the correct tow truck to come.





How she currently sits. Probably a couple weeks from now until i get her running again :(

Have it totalled by the insurance, and I'll buy it off you.

I loved this car so much, I think it is best to cut your losses and ship it to me.

Maybe if you had turned your headlights on instead of trying to look all badass with only the city lights lit you would have seen the rock.


That is not an ugly car.

Actually that's exactly what it's made for.... Have you seen these new skid plates? Red43 or whatevr has some beeeefy ass skid plates.
