baddd news guys, i was going down lake cohoon road, this bit** was comming at me, not moving over, (small and narrow road) so i had to hit my brakes and pull over in the grass, my tires got caught in the grass/mud and pulled me right in the ditch, the passenger side is screwed, needs a new fender and rear bumper. and of course paint on the whole side. the rear bumber happened when we had to pull her out. ill post pics of that soon. im still a bit sick right now.
