I guess ya made it back to W.VA. ok....did it ever rain on ya?

 

[RatLabGuy]

Wow, major suckage.
But I have to ask... how fast was he careening around the curve to topple like that?

It drove fine -- if you don't count the windshield moving in-and-out about an inch every time a semi passed me -- I even did 70+ mph a couple of times.

Ran through one brief little sprinkle shower, but a fresh coat of RainX saved the day

Wow, major suckage.
But I have to ask... how fast was he careening around the curve to topple like that?

I was doing roughly 5 mph, in reverse, while staying as close as possible to the right side of the road (so as not to be hit by someone careening around the curve) – Oh, the irony


Cheers!

And here's the offending hole

If you look closely, you can even see my tracks -- right where the ditch intrudes a couple of feet into the gravel.

Yep.

In the Blue Early Bronco:
Rolled it just out of the gates in class C
Came back for class B and made it to the top of Kodak:
broken output shaft on transfer case
both shafts broken in left front
cracked rear shock mount
bent and twisted tierod

Guess that's about it.
