Man WIll, that doesn't look like fun.

Although, it doesn't look THAT bad. In other words, hopefully theres no frame damage.

If you need any help getting it worked out let me know. I know Richy Road and Lane's in Houston both do great work.

Damn Rita! Sorry to hear about that. And I was upset cause my driver side headlight got stuck open. Our evacuation from Lake Jackson to Lufkin took over 24 hrs. I cant wait for the great drive back.

There is some frame damage, I took it all apart to assess it better, I really hope they can pull and tuck a little and make it work. That side got pushed in some, the other is still perfect

Will,

Real sorry to see the damage. I heard about it earlier today.

Important thing is that you and Kara were not hurt.
