    oil pan disaster! almost


    Thanks to Red46's skidplate I could be on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck right now, but the plate did it's job. I had a huge piece of semi-truck debris go under and lift my car on I5 near Terwelliger, I look back and see a cloud of dust and the chunk of metal spinning in the air! So Portland people watch out if you're headed south on I5 from downtown today.

            Austin picked it up for me at AbeBQ for 130, they usually about 160 shipped?

                    File a complaint with the city? That's bullshit.
